Association between changes of frailty status/frailty components status and rapid loss of kidney function in middle- aged and older populations.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Frailty and its components are proposed to associate with kidney function, but little attention is paid to the significance of changes in their status on rapid loss of kidney function. This study aimed to investigate the association between changes in frailty and its components status with rapid loss of renal function.

Methods

This study used data from China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). Frailty status was measured using the Fried frailty phenotype (FP) scale, including five components: slowness, weakness, exhaustion, inactivity, and shrinking. Frailty status was further classified into three levels: robust (0 component), prefrail (1-2 components) and frail (3-5 components). Changes in frailty status were assessed by frailty status at baseline
