The relationship between frailty and urinary incontinence (UI) remains highly complex. There is limited data on the impact of frailty on new-onset UI among hospitalized older adults. Thus, we examined the ability of frailty to predict incident UI among them.
Frailty, a multidimensional syndrome characterized by vulnerability to stressors, is an emerging public health priority with high prevalence in older adults. Frailty has been identified to predictive negative health outcomes, yet quantified evidence regarding its effect on health care systems is scarce. Th...
This study aimed to examine the cross-sectional and longitudinal relationships between physical frailty at baseline and depressive symptoms at baseline and at follow-up.
Frailty is a heterogeneous syndrome with distinct patterns. This study aimed to identify frailty risk patterns and their predictive value for mortality in older adults.
To investigate the ability of the fatigue, resistance, ambulation, incontinence or illness, loss of weight, nutritional approach, and help with dressing (FRAIL-NH) tool to predict mortality.
