Q

What is this?
* Age-related hearing loss
* Difficulty hearing high frequencies
* Diminished ability for pitch/tone threshold
* Most age-related hearing loss is sensorineural
* Interferes with ability to interact with environment (social and physical)
* Diminished speech reception, discrimination, and understanding

105
Q

Frailty criteria

A

Unintentional weight loss
Self-reported exhaustion
Weakness
Slow walking speed
Low physical activity

106
Q

Increased state of vulnerability due to impairments in many systems that may give rise to a diminished ability to respond to even mild stresses and incorporates multi morbidity and CNS impairments

107
Q

Frailty phenotype is predictive (over 3 years) of incidence of falls, worsening mobility, or ADL disability, hospitalization, death

A

Fried phenotype

108
Q
