Frailty - how to manage it and how to delay it
About this episode
It’s something that befalls most of us as we age, but what is it?
It is a marker of vulnerability as we age and in many ways a soft tool to
predict our risk of future illness and rate of decline.
In this episode I look at how it is assessed and what we can do to prevent it.
