ABSTRACT
Frailty is a nonspecific state with the decline of physiological reserve leading to the increased vulnerability and decreased anti-stress ability in the elderly. Frailty can cause cognitive impairment and physical function decline, and increase the risk of a series of adverse events such as hospitalization, disability and death in the elderly. Studies have shown that early intervention can reverse debilitating condition; therefore, early and timely intervention of frailty has important practical significance for improving the health status of the elderly and reducing the pressure on the medical system. This article reviews frailty interventions and their effects in the elderly, including sports intervention, nutrition intervention, drug intervention and integrated intervention, focusing on the research progress of frailty intervention, to provide reference for clinical management of frailty in the community-dwelling elderly.
