Physical Frailty Attenuation

Meaning

Physical frailty attenuation is the clinical strategy focused on reducing the severity and progression of the multi-system syndrome characterized by decreased physiological reserve, reduced strength, and vulnerability to adverse health outcomes. Attenuation involves targeted interventions to reverse sarcopenia, improve bone mineral density, enhance gait speed, and increase overall physical activity tolerance. This process is fundamentally linked to optimizing anabolic hormonal profiles, including testosterone, growth hormone, and Vitamin D, which are essential for maintaining musculoskeletal integrity and functional independence throughout the aging process.
