Dual trajectories of social participation and frailty in Chinese older adults: a longitudinal study based on CLHLS from 2008 to 2018.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

This study aimed to identify the dual trajectories of social participation (SP) and frailty index (FI) among Chinese older adults, and investigate common influential factors of both trajectories.

Methods

Utilizing data from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) 2008-2018 surveys, 1,645 individuals were analyzed. A group-based dual trajectory model and logistic regression were used to examine trajectories, their interrelations and shared influencing factors.

Results

This study identified three SP, two FI trajectories and six distinct sub-groups of individuals. The study confirmed a long-term, interrelated relationship between two outcomes and identified some common factors. Compared to participants in the lower SP trajectory, those who
