Research progress on intervention of frailty in elderly stroke patients

With the growing challenge of population aging, the incidence of stroke continues to rise. Frailty, a prevalent geriatric syndrome, is particularly common among elderly stroke patients due to their diminished physiological function. Notably, frailty is a reversible condition, and early identification combined with timely and effective interventions can help prevent or delay its progression in this population. This article provides a comprehensive review of the manifestations and characteristics of frailty in elderly stroke patients, as well as various intervention strategies, including nutritional support, swallowing function rehabilitation, exercise therapy, psychological care, and integrated interventions. The aim is to offer valuable insights and practical guidance for the nursing management of frailty in elderly stroke patients.
