Did we mention that exercise is good for you? I think we did… but here’s a study in Age_and_Ageing that says it’s good for frail older people in hospital too.

I must admit it frustrates me no end that despite ALL the evidence saying this I still hear older people being told by a healthcare professional to ‘rest!’

In this study, participants who enrolled in a 24-month moderate intensity physical activity intervention had similar frailty trajectories and clinically meaningful changes in frailty index to participants in the health education group. #geriatrics agsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
