About this Research Topic
The research on frailty in older people has gained significant attention in recent years due to its profound impact on the health and well-being of an aging population worldwide. Frailty is a complex, age-related clinical syndrome characterized by a decline in physiological reserve and function across multiple systems. This decline leads to increased vulnerability to adverse outcomes such as falls, disability, hospitalizations, and mortality. As the global population ages, the prevalence of frailty is rising rapidly, presenting significant challenges to healthcare systems and society.
Comprehensive care for older people with frailty necessitates a multidisciplinary approach that encompasses not only the physical manifestations of frailty but also the psychological, social, and other factors that contribute to its development and progression. Research in this field focuses on developing evidence-based interventions, including nutritional support, exercise programs, fall prevention strategies, cognitive stimulation, and psychosocial support, to improve the quality of life and functional outcomes of frail older people. Additionally, there is a growing interest in understanding the underlying mechanisms of frailty, identifying biomarkers for early detection, and exploring innovative approaches to frailty prevention and management.
This Research Topic, " Innovations and Strategies for Comprehensive Frailty Management in the Older People," aims to address the challenge of providing holistic and effective care for increasingly frail older people populations. It seeks to bring together cutting-edge research, clinical insights, and innovative strategies that can improve the physical, psychological, and social well-being of frail older people. Ultimately, the goal is to improve their quality of life, prevent functional decline, and reduce frailty-related healthcare costs. Through this Research Topic, we aim to foster collaboration among researchers, clinicians, caregivers, and policymakers to advance the field of frailty care and ensure that frail older people receive the comprehensive care they deserve.
Topics of Interest Include, but are Not Limited to:
● Multidisciplinary Care Models: Studies investigating the effectiveness of integrated care approaches involving primary care, geriatrics, nursing, social work, and other disciplines in managing frailty.
● Intervention strategies: Contributions highlighting novel interventions, technologies, or programs designed to prevent, delay, or manage frailty in older people.
● Underlying mechanisms of Frailty: Studies exploring the multidimensional and holistic nature of frailty and investigating the mechanisms to delay the onset and development of frailty from different perspectives.
● Technological Challenges and Innovations: Research into the role of artificial intelligence, wearable devices, and other advanced technologies in frailty detection, management, and prevention.
● Caregiver perspectives: Personal narratives, case studies, and qualitative research or other studies highlighting the experiences and insights of caregivers working with frail older people.
We are interested in various manuscript types, including original research articles, review articles, and case studies that significantly advance the understanding of the understanding of frailty in older people.
