72 hours to get people/keep people moving or their outcomes drastically deteriorate

It turns out that amyloid plaques might not be the gold standard for diagnosing dementia. At low stages of frailty you are less likely to express dementia with the same burden of plaques than people with higher levels of frailty. (top line is high frailty)

Frailty indices don’t work as well in younger people. But over 75 you see a heterogeneity of risk that is defined by their degree of frailty.

75 is the age (on average) at which people start to develop so many problems that treating one thing will often be unsuccessful.
