Frailty linked to earlier dementia onset in major study
A University of Queensland study tracking over 1,600 people for 24 years has found that frailty accelerates dementia onset by two to three years in women and six to seven years in men. The research suggests frailty is not inevitable and can be reversed through strength training, healthy diet and social connection. Routine screening for frailty could help doctors identify those at highest risk and potentially slow the disease's progression.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
