Type: dissertation
Abstract: Frailty can be defined as a syndrome associated with a progressive decrease in physiological systems associated with age, leading to reduced intrinsic capacity reserves, increased vulnerability to stressors and a decline in physiological systems. The objective of this thesis was first of all to present the dog as a promising model for the study of aging and frailty in humans. Secondly, it was to describe the different methods of assessing intrinsic abilities in dogs and to draw up a questionnaire. The aim of the questionnaire was to collect information about intrinsic capacities of an individual and the characteristics of the environment, two elements contributing to the concept of "Healthy Aging" according to the WHO (2016). This thesis is part of the Inspire project, a research program to study healthy aging in humans and animal models.
