What Dr David Ward has said
“Frailty has traditionally been linked to neurodegenerative conditions like dementia, but instead of just being a consequence of ageing or declining health, it appears to play its own role in shaping how dementia develops and is diagnosed. Our findings show older adults living with frailty are diagnosed with dementia two to three years earlier than those who are less frail.”
