Common Characteristics Between Frailty and Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1: A Narrative Review

Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is an inherited neuromuscular disorder often considered a model of accelerated aging due to the early appearance of certain age-related clinical manifestations and cellular and molecular aging markers. Frailty, a state of vulnerability related to aging, has been recen...

Frailty, a state of vulnerability related to aging, has been recently studied in neurological conditions but has received considerably less attention in neuromuscular disorders. This narrative review aims to describe 1) the common characteristics between Fried’s frailty phenotype criteria (muscular weakness, slow gait speed, weight loss, exhaustion/fatigue, and low physical activity) and DM1, and 2) the psychological and social factors potentially contributing to frailty in DM1. This review gathered evidence suggesting that DM1 patients meet four of the five frailty phenotype criteria. Additionally, longitudinal studies report the deterioration of these criteria over time in DM1. Patients also exhibit psychological/cognitive and social factors that might contribute to frailty. Monitoring frailty criteria in the DM1 population could help to implement timely preventions and interventions to reduce the disease burden and severity of frailty symptoms.This work was supported by Centro de Investigación Biomédica en Red de Enfermedades Neurodegenerativas (Ref: 609), from the Institute of Health Carlos III cofounded by the European Union [PI22/01118 to Andone Sistiaga]; Basque Government [2022111031 to Andone Sistiaga; IT1732-22 to Joana Garmendia, Garazi Labayru, Andone Sistiaga and Adolfo López de Munain]; University of the Basque Country [PIF 20/238 to Joana Garmendia].This work was performed in the context of the IHU HealthAge, which was benefited from funding by the Agence Nationale de la Recherche under the France 2030 program [ANR-23-IAHU-0011 to Philipe de Souto Barreto].Aging and Disease Editorial202520252025info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10810/75135reponame:Addi.
