Associations between healthy lifestyle and mortality across different social environments: a study among adults with frailty from the UK Biobank.

Among people living with frailty, adherence to a healthy lifestyle may be a low-cost and effective strategy to decrease frailty-induced health risks across different social environments.

Methods
