A large proportion of older adults visit family physicians within the community. It is imperative for the family physician to be familiar with not just the common geriatric syndromes but also to be aware of modern geriatric giants such as sarcopenia and frailty as they are associated with adverse outcomes that can significantly affect an older adult’s function. Simple screening tools like SARC-F and FRAIL scale can readily identify sarcopenia and frailty. Management is multi-pronged, focusing especially on resistance exercises and protein supplementation.
