摘要/Abstract

摘要： 衰弱是一种复杂的老年综合征,表现为生理储备能力下降、生理功能减退及对应激事件的易感性增加。环境暴露作为衰弱的重要外部因素,逐渐成为研究热点。本文旨在梳理环境暴露对衰弱的影响,探讨主要环境暴露因素及其作用机制、流行病学、干预策略及未来研究方向,为衰弱的早期识别及干预提供更多科学依据。

关键词: 环境暴露, 衰弱, 老年综合征, 影响, 预防

Abstract: Frailty is a complex geriatric syndrome characterized by decreased physiological reserve capacity, decreased physiological function and increased susceptibility to stressful events. As an important external factor of frailty, environmental exposure has gradually become a research hotspot. This article aims to review the effects of environmental exposures on frailty and explore the main environmental exposure factors and their mechanisms, epidemiology, intervention strategies, and future research directions, so as to provide more scientific basis for early identification and intervention of frailty.

Key words: environmental exposure, frailty, geriatric syndrome, influence, prevention
