Frailty is a common and clinically significant grouping of symptoms that occurs in aging and older adults. These symptoms can include decreased physical abilities such as walking, excessive fatigue, and weight and muscle loss leading to declined physical status.
MCR, characterized by a slower walking speed and some memory issues, was found to be more likely in a cohort of people over 65 who met the criteria of “poor sleepers,” with excessive daytime ...
A new study found that Americans 40 and older could live over five years longer if they exercised as much as the top 25% of the population. ... A recent study just broke down exactly how much ...
Central fatigue is a reduction in the neural drive or nerve-based motor command to working muscles that results in a decline in the force output. [3] [4] [5] It has been suggested that the reduced neural drive during exercise may be a protective mechanism to prevent organ failure if the work was continued at the same intensity.
Understanding what increases the risk of dementia can help doctors and policymakers identify people most at risk and provide the right support to slow down or lessen the impact of cognitive decline.
Fatigue in a medical context is used to cover experiences of low energy that are not caused by normal life.

As blood is pumped through the body, the valves within the veins prevent the blood from flowing backwards. After extensive, prolonged standing, these valves can become weak and eventually fail. When this happens, blood is no longer being prevented from flowing backward. Gravity will pull the blood back into an individual's legs, ankles and feet.
Given the study’s small participant pool and limited timespan (participants were followed for a median period of 1.7 years), a bigger, longer-term study will be needed. But the initial results ...
