🚨 Frailty: Hope is NOT a Strategy 🚨 @jmusgravept shares the importance of evidence-supported screening & interventions to fight physical frailty in older adults. Hope without a strategy is an empty promise. Did you know that 80% of older adults are either frail or pre-frail? This can lead to falls, hospital visits, and loss of independence. But there's good news—you CAN make a difference! 💪 Use the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) to quickly identify frailty in under 5 minutes. With a score of The solution?
