Abstract
The identification of frailty among relatively young survivors of childhood cancer has led to a growing body of work aimed at examining potential risk factors and interventions to decrease its burden in this population. In the accompanying article, Schwartz and colleagues present their findings regarding the association between neighborhood characteristics and frailty in survivors of childhood cancer and show that survivors living in resource poor neighborhoods had increased odds of frailty compared with those in resource-rich neighborhoods. This work further supports the need for focused educational initiatives and nutrition and exercise interventions to improve survivors’ quality of health.
