Dr. Fried points out that there are numerous strategies to combat frailty, and interestingly, having a sense of purpose alongside strong social ties can profoundly influence one’s overall health. She offers her distinct perspectives and cultural insights on how both the young and the elderly can sustain their vitality throughout their lives.
