Physical Agency Preservation

Meaning

Physical Agency Preservation is a comprehensive clinical goal focused on maintaining an individual’s maximal capacity for autonomous movement, strength, and functional independence throughout the lifespan. This concept extends beyond simply preventing frailty to proactively ensuring the continued robust function of the musculoskeletal and neuromuscular systems. It is intrinsically linked to hormonal health, as anabolic hormones are crucial for maintaining muscle mass, bone density, and connective tissue integrity. Preservation of physical agency is a key metric for measuring healthspan and longevity success.
