Background: Interstitial lung diseases (ILD) are a heterogenous group of that involve inflammation and/or fibrosis the parenchyma. ILD can exert significant stress on person’s extrapulmonary systems, eroding organ and physical function. Thus, accelerate age-related vulnerabilities lead to early onset frailty, which makes frailty prevalent in at any age. Frailty confers three-fold increase of, predicts, mortality ILD. Objective: To present feasible approach understanding addressing holistic health fortify psychological capacity markedly enhances tolerance aging. Methods: From our previous published work consisted serial Medline PubMed scoping reviews (with search terms such as interstitial disease, ILD, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, IPF, systemic sclerosis, sarcoidosis, well-being), patient focus groups, outcome measures deconstruction linking World Health Organization’s International Classification Disability, nominal processes, we iteratively isolated factors seem and, importantly, protect against reverse frailty. These were presented The Eastern Pulmonary Conference September 2024 summarized herein. Results: result is collective statement (a) summarizes health-care system responsibilities providing sustainable, humane environments for patients clinicians; (b) advocates intervention shared decision-making from time diagnosis well-being when living with ILD; (c) offers guidance physical, mental, social well literacy strength voice.
