Abstract Frailty, a complex, syndromic condition primarily affecting older adults, faces a lack of evidence-based management strategies due to scarce randomized controlled trials. So far, frailty interventions have employed a spectrum of strategies, including health behavior interventions (e.g., diet and exercise), pharmacological interventions targeting specific biological pathways, and personalized geriatric care models. However, the field faces significant challenges that hinder its progress. A notable issue is that there is a noticeable lack of comprehensive management strategies for frail
