In Focus: Frailty
Staying Mobile
Geriatrician Joe Verghese explains how subtle changes in gait can identify which patients are at risk for frailty — with the goal of preventing falls and mental decline.
The Genetics of Frailty
Einstein geneticists and gerontologists are teaming up to identify gene variants that protect against frailty. Their goals: develop better detection methods and treatments.
A Geriatrician's Checklist
Geriatrician Laurie Jacobs explains the traits and qualities she looks for when evaluating patients for frailty.
