Professor Lord and Professor Greenhaff have recently published a review on Frailty in the journal Physiological Reviews, with CMAR PhD student Joe Taylor as the first author (https://journals.physiology.org/doi/epdf/10.1152/physrev.00037.2021). The review discusses the current limitations in our understanding of frailty and in particular that the focus on frailty as a clinical syndrome does not facilitate an understanding of the compromise to different body systems that underlie the progression to frailty. The article makes recommendations for research that will overcome these limitations and lead to interventions to prevent frailty. Here they discuss the article with Dr Christoph Handschin, handling editor at Physiological Reviews.
