“…Just as in communities described in remote areas of northern Europe and Canada (Keating 2008b), this community is ageing, and its capacity to maintain what van Abbema et al (2015) classify as external resources over time will diminish without added resources. In this study, all participants either owned their own home or had sufficient subsistence from the aged pension to pay rent and buy food.…”

“…Collectively, the resilience of the community lies in being able to mutually negotiate the resources that van Abbema et al (2015) have described as essential determinants of resilience. With these resources in place, capacity of the community would then be enhanced; people would stay and support the continued functioning of community enterprises.…”

“…This is a dynamic approach, which accords with a model of resilience in older age, based on adaptation to adversity through protective internal and external resources (van Abbema et al 2015). It implies that people are able to continually learn, grow and strengthen their own resource base, providing they live within an environment that provides external support resources that nurture the development of inner resources.…”

“…Resilience is defined as "flourishing despite adversity" (Stephens et al 2015), whereas well-being is used here as meaning an enduring sense of happiness or efficacy (van Abbema et al 2015). Resilience is a consequence of sustained well-being and relates to capacity to endure.…”

“…It implies that people are able to continually learn, grow and strengthen their own resource base, providing they live within an environment that provides external support resources that nurture the development of inner resources. According to van Abbema et al (2015), it is on this platform that older people are able to maintain physical and psychological functioning that facilitates a sense of thriving. This implies a strongly preventative and primary health direction for ageing services, rather than a more common medicalised approach (Stephens et al 2015).…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate how people managed to stay resilient as they aged in remote places. In Western developed countries, "successful ageing" is associated with older people's right to age in their chosen place. To remain resilient, older people require support to supplement diminishing self-reliance associated with increasing frailty. Such support services do not extend to remote communities, making it difficult to age in place. This article reports on a case study of ageing in remote places, from the perspective of seniors within a small community in remote northern Australia. The study found how older people attempt through volunteer efforts, to supplement the gaps in aged support services. This collective effort to achieve ageing in place demonstrated greater integration with place and social resilience within the community. However, seniors' social resilience was seen as tenuous, given collective self-reliance is based on volunteer efforts of older people.

Frailty is a complex syndrome affecting a growing sector of the global population as medical developments have advanced human mortality rates across the world. Our current understanding of frailty is derived from studies conducted in the laboratory as well as the clinic, which have generated largely phenotypic information. Far fewer studies have uncovered biological underpinnings driving the onset and progression of frailty, but the stage is set to advance the field with preclinical and clinical assessment tools, multiomics approaches together with physiological and biochemical methodologies. In this article, we provide comprehensive coverage of topics regarding frailty assessment, preclinical models, interventions, and challenges as well as clinical frameworks and prevalence. We also identify central biological mechanisms that may be at play including mitochondrial dysfunction, epigenetic alterations, and oxidative stress that in turn, affect metabolism, stress responses, and endocrine and neuromuscular systems. We review the role of metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance and visceral obesity, focusing on glucose homeostasis, adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD + ) as critical players influencing the age-related loss of health. We further focus on how immunometabolic dysfunction associates with oxidative stress in promoting sarcopenia, a key contributor to slowness, weakness, and fatigue. We explore the biological mechanisms involved in stem cell exhaustion that affect regeneration and may contribute to the frailty-associated decline in resilience and adaptation to stress. Together, an overview of the interplay of aging biology with genetic, lifestyle, and environmental factors that contribute to frailty, as well as potential therapeutic targets to lower risk and slow the progression of ongoing disease is covered.
