Scientists at ICMR-NIRBI (National Institute for Research in Bacterial Infections) Kolkata, in collaboration with a few other institutes, have developed a model for home-based management of frailty, a common geriatric syndrome that affects a large number of people in their 60s or above. Experts said frailty is an age-associated decline in physiologic reserve and function across multiple organ systems, eventually increasing vulnerability to adverse health outcomes.
