Description
Zhen Tian and co-authors measured, in a 2025 study, how common frailty is among hospital patients with Sjögren's disease. The autoimmune disease dries the eyes and mouth and can inflame the whole body. Frailty, a state of weak reserve, had not been charted in this group.
At one Beijing hospital, 180 patients were graded on five signs: weight loss, exhaustion, low activity, slowness, and weakness. Twenty-seven percent counted as frail and 49 percent as pre-frail. Blood inflammation, disease activity scores, and patient-reported burden each raised frailty odds on their own. The authors urge routine frailty checks in this clinic population, above all when inflammation runs high. Early action may protect strength and independence.
