This makes them more vulnerable, less able to recover and even apparently minor events (infections, environmental changes) can have drastic impacts on their physical and mental health.

The fragility index is a statistical metric used primarily in the medical literature to assess study results. It denotes the minimum number of subjects whose status would have to change from a non-event to an event in order to convert a statistically significant result of the study into a non-significant result.

[ 1 ] Taleb's thesis is that in a volatile world with a lot of destructive uncertainty, the wise economic strategy is to be antifragile: protect the downside but prepare to benefit disproportionately from ...
This representation of fragility is known as an "Angell Plot". In glass sciences, fragility or "kinetic fragility" is a concept proposed by the Australian-American physical chemist C. Austen Angell. Fragility characterizes how rapidly the viscosity of a glass forming liquid approaches a very large value approximately 10 12 Pa s
