Exploring the contribution of biopsychological makers to explain physical frailty and the exercise mediation on hormonal, immnue and psychological wellbeing in …
Abstract:
Frailty syndrome is a complex aging expression determined by ontogenetic and phylogenetic factors. Chronic stress has been shown to have immunosuppressive effects, to accelerate immunosenescence and to cause cumulative disorders in many physiological systems, resulting in a frail state. In a recent approach, Linda Fried and colleagues have developed a construct whose bases are muscle loss, negative energy balance and physical inactivity, called ‘Frailty Cycle’. They identified five dimensions in the construct: weakness, low resistance to an effort, slowness, low physical activity, and weight loss, which were operationalized on five criteria to identify the Physical Frailty (PF), and divide the population in frail, pre-frail and non-frail. Recently, epidemiological studies reported that cognitive impairments, low immune expression, and others global health dimensions have a powerful association with physical frailty …
