Abstract:
Frailty is a common clinical syndrome in the elderly, with unexplained weight loss, low grip strength, fatigue, slow walking speed and reduced physical activity. The decline of cognitive function interacts with the occurrence and development of frailty symptoms. As the highest level of cognitive function, executive function is of great significance in regulating body function. This article reviews the definition, assessment tools, related research and mechanism of senile frailty and executive function, and explores the relationship between executive function and the occurrence and development of frailty. This article also points out the existing problems in the relevant research and puts forward targeted suggestions to promote the healthy aging of the elderly in China.
