pov section

The last section seems like a rant favoring euthanasia or suicide, not in an encyclopedic tone. Chris the speller (talk) 15:15, 28 August 2008 (UTC)


I'm removing that last section. It is frankly ridiculous, and unscientific. And despite the "discussion" it alludes to, there has been no such discussion. Gacggt (talk) 00:59, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Frailty and inflammation/thrombosis

doi:10.1016/j.amjmed.2009.04.016 - when you quantify frailty (if that's possible), it correlates with markers of inflammation and thrombosis. JFW | T@lk 12:36, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

New frailty assessment instruments/ tools

Have started to add a few more references to new frailty instruments. There are now quite a number of valid and reliable tools available. I will add some more - currently reviewing the literature as part of a study. A proliferation of tools in recent years following Linda Frieds initial work in frailty. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Caregiver84 (talk • contribs) 01:58, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

Updated surgical risks

PMID 31721994 looks like a good study, but it's a primary source. When it starts getting cited in reviews, we should see about updating this article. WhatamIdoing (talk) 00:17, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Healing Power section

I deleted a section under Causes called "Healing Power". It was only two sentences and not analogous to Sarcopenia and Osteoporosis which are other sections Kendrafun (talk) 17:41, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Feedback: Vernacular and Content

I can imagine a decent number of visitors to this "Frailty Syndrome" page would have the goals of not only (1) learning more about the syndrome, but (2) also looking for particular treatment modalities. Predictors for visiting this page may also involve having or knowing someone who has Frailty Syndrome.

Given these goals, it may be beneficial to improve health literacy by revising the vernacular to be less academic. Further explanation, or short descriptions after a health term, can be beneficial.

Peer review: The page has been greatly improved by your team's focus on elaborating on non-surgical interventions, prevention, and ongoing research studies, as stated in your CIC work-plan. Echoing previous feedback, I agree that medical jargon can be explained in more commonly understandable language, especially in the sections on geriatric syndromes and physiological mechanisms.  Exercise is especially important with regards to both prevention as well as non-surgical management of frailty syndrome. Consider elaborating on the specific kinds of exercises and routines that would counter frailty syndrome, drawing from recommendations using national guidelines (ie from the US Preventive Task Force). Another idea would be to describe fall risks (a great cause of morbidity and mortality relevant to frailty syndrome), and how to mitigate fall risk. The sources you used in your edits are reputable and recent, and I would focus on adding more publications from recent years, especially since the original sources from before your edits tend to be older. Overall, great job with the edits! (User:20atang)
