“Interventions can help reverse physical frailty, study finds,” by Alyssa Salela, McKnight’s Senior Living

“Diet, exercise and stimulating activities are keys to reversing physical frailty, a recent study has found. . . . Older adults who are physically frail are two to 10 times more likely to become functionally disabled, hospitalized or die earlier, they said. If they are cognitively impaired in addition to being physically frail, then they are 20 times more likely to become functionally disabled, hospitalized or die earlier.”

LTC Comment (from Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform):
Stemming the obesity epidemic is step one.
