There are possibly three other somewhat interrelated factors affecting frailty in other wise healthy seniors & these factors are not always monitored & treated by family doctors: border case hypothyroidism, anemia, inadequat diet.
All three can pass as normal since there is no pain or other obvious symptoms initially perceived by the affected individuals.
