A new study illuminated the consequences of a tighter interconnection between different domains of functional capacity in the elderly, pointing towards a reduced resilience in the system. This study reveals that in older populations and those in poorer health, the domains of functional capacity--mobility, sensory, cognitive, and mental functions--are more closely linked, making the system vulnerable to cascading failures.
