ABREUS MORA, Jorge Luis  and  GONZALEZ CURBELO, Vivian Bárbara. Frailty in Older Adults and Physical Activity. Rev. Finlay [online]. 2023, vol.13, n.1, pp. 111-114.  Epub Mar 30, 2023. ISSN 2221-2434.

Early detection of frailty and the timely use of diagnostic, therapeutic and rehabilitative techniques can positively modify the expected expression of disability in the elderly. Early interventions, which include exercise and mobilization, help reduce the severity of associated complications and facilitate the functional recovery of this age group. Resistance, flexibility, balance and strength exercises reduce the incidence and risk of falls, morbidity and mortality and prevent functional deterioration.

Keywords : aging; physiological processes; physical exercise; frail older adults.
