Physical Frailty Countermeasure

Meaning

Physical Frailty Countermeasure refers to any proactive clinical or lifestyle intervention specifically designed to prevent, mitigate, or reverse the syndrome of physical frailty, which is characterized by diminished strength, endurance, and physiological reserve. In hormonal health, this countermeasure often centers on optimizing anabolic hormone levels, such as testosterone, growth hormone, and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), which are essential for maintaining muscle mass and bone density. It represents a critical strategy for extending healthspan and functional independence.
