Handgrip Strength and Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate in a Frailty Unit: A Retrospective Study.

Introduction: Frailty is characterized by vulnerability and decline in physical, mental, and social activity, significantly contributing to adverse health outcomes. Frailty encompasses nutritional status, muscle strength, inflammation, and hormones. Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) is one of the hormones hypothesized to play a role in frailty.
