People with HIV (PWH) likely need short-term skilled nursing facility (SNF) care more than people with greater financial and social support to remain home. Therefore, we sought to understand how frailty among health profiles with distinct driving conditions, antiretroviral therapy (ART), and sociodemograph...
Frailty and poor psychological functioning remain major aging-related public and clinical health challenges. The multidimensional nature of these constructs, along with diverse assessment methods, complicate the study of their relationship. This study aims to examine the cross-sectional and longitudinal re...
Antithrombotic therapy, including antiplatelet therapy, direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), and vitamin K antagonists (VKAs), is increasingly prescribed. These therapies pose complex challenges in patients with hip fracture due to risks of bleeding, risks of thromboembolism, and their potential role as mar...
Older people residing in retirement villages (RVs) (elsewhere called continuing care retirement communities) are thought to live in a relatively age-friendly environment. Many RVs have facilities and resources for health care and home-based supports and opportunities for physical activity and social engage...
To examine the association of meeting the moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and resistance training (RT) components of the physical activity guidelines with frailty and mortality and to determine if these associations vary by age and sex.
Home-based primary care (HBPC) is uniquely capable of meeting the health care needs of homebound older adults, many of whom experience diminished access to primary care. Research demonstrations of HBPC have often recruited patients based on prior acute care utilization or around the time of hospital discha...
This study aims to explore the relationship among household air pollution, physical activity (PA), and the risk of frailty among middle-aged and older adults.
Although frailty can increase the risk of premature death, whether reversal of frailty reduces the risk of premature death and what factors contribute to the reversal of frailty have not been thoroughly investigated. This study aimed to investigate the link between frailty reversal and all-cause mortality ...
