So could we start with frailty in those that are overweight or obese?

Yeah, I think there's still quite a stereotypical picture of somebody with frailty as being very old, thin and visibly weak.

And there's recent qualitative research in primary care which has shown that clinicians often use the term frail quite loosely as an adjective, often based on how somebody looks rather than recognising it as a defined clinical syndrome.

So frailty can occur across the full BMI range.

And in fact, obesity itself is associated with an increased risk of frailty.

So there's some irony there.

A meta-analysis of community dwelling older adults recently found a 40% higher risk of frailty in those with obesity compared to those with normal BMI.

Patrick, before we conclude today's podcast, is there anything you'd like to expand on that you think would be useful for our listeners?
