Research progress on the correlation between adiponectin and frailty
As an age-related geriatric syndrome,frailty has become an important social problem that threatens the health of the elderly.Early identification and intervention of frailty can help reduce the occur-rence of clinical negative events caused by frailty.It is of great significance to improve the quality of life of eld-erly patients,prevent premature death and prolong life expectancy.Adiponectin,as an adipocytokine with a va-riety of physiological effects,may become a potential biomarker for frailty.This article reviews the research on the correlation between adiponectin and frailty in the elderly,aiming to provide a reference for the develop-ment of adiponectin as a biomarker of frailty and subsequent related therapeutic drugs.
