Inquadramento del paziente fragile: dalla scienza di base alla clinica
Abstract
MANAGEMENT OF THE FRAIL PATIENT: FROM BENCH TO BEDSIDE
The ageing of the population leads to an increase in the incidence of chronic-degenerative diseases such as
osteoporosis. It causes macro- and microarchitectural alterations with a consequent risk of falling and fracture. The
progressive subversion of the muscular structure typical of osteoporosis-related sarcopoenia contributes to the “frailty
syndrome” that often affects elderly patients.
