- Authors
Whitson, Heather E.; Cohen, Harvey J.; Schmader, Kenneth E.; Morey, Miriam C.; Kuchel, George; Colon‐Emeric, Cathleen S.
- Abstract
An editorial is presented which addresses the authors' views about physical resilience in older people, and it mentions how physical resilience differs from frailty. According to the article, physical resilience is an individual's ability to adapt and deal with functional decline following the onset of acute or chronic health issues. Physiological vulnerability to a stressor such as surgery is addressed, along with the impact of biological processes on resilience.
