Australian Consensus Statement on the Prevention and Management of Frailty Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A Modified Delphi Study.
A new national consensus statement translates evidence into concrete, actionable steps doctors and communities can take to prevent and manage frailty in older adults.
A modified Delphi study with 24+ expert contributors published in Medical Journal of Australia produces a national consensus statement on frailty prevention and management for community-dwelling older adults, covering identification, physical activity, nutrition, polypharmacy, and care coordination. These evidence-based recommendations provide directly implementable clinical guidance for the rapidly growing frail older population.
