Abstract
Frailty poses a complex challenge to the health and well-being of aging populations, particularly in South Korea, where its prevalence is substantial and increasing. This review explores the landscape of frailty assessment and management in Korea, emphasizing the transition from a disease-centric approach to one focused on maintaining functional abilities and promoting healthy aging. This review covers various frailty screening tools, comprehensive geriatric assessment methods, and targeted interventions across domains such as polypharmacy, physical activity, nutrition, oral health, vitamin D supplementation, cognitive function, falls, and social frailty. The integration of these strategies aims to address the multifaceted nature of frailty and improve health outcomes for older adults. Furthermore, the importance of regular monitoring and reassessment is highlighted to guide personalized interventions and optimize outcomes, particularly for older adults with chronic illnesses. Through a multifaceted approach encompassing medical, social, and functional dimensions, this review advocates for effective frailty management to enhance the health and well-being of elderly in Korea and globally.
