A systematic review and meta‐analysis of studies that have evaluated the role of mitochondrial function and iron metabolism in frailty

Abstract Frailty is a condition of global impairment due to depletion of physiological reserves. However, the underlying biological mechanisms are poorly understood. The aims of the current study were to identify the differences in mitochondrial function and iron metabolism between frail and nonfrai...
