Researchers say those who were 45 and show more signs of aging, including cognitive problems, skin wrinkles, and a decrease in cardiovascular health, are at increased risk of dementia and other frailties associated with old age.
As frailty worsened in older people, symptoms of depression increased. This was exacerbated by shortened sleep duration.
According to a Frontiers in Physiology report, frailty may not be an inevitability as we age. It may be treatable, and even preventable.
