| Description | The presence of frailty syndrom as an unfavorable prognostic factor should substantially influence diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, including preventive approaches. Older frail patients with DM are particularly at risk of polypharmacy, cognitive impairment, and falls. Effective management of FS and DM in older adults includes: (A) nutritional support aimed at preventing malnutrition and sarcopenia; (B) regular physical activity; (C) optimization of pharmacotherapy; and (D) comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA), including regular evaluation of frailty, cognition, depression, and fall risk. |
