Physical, Psychological, Cognitive and Social Frailty Domains in Community-Dwelling Adults Aged 45-85: a Cross-sectional Analysis of the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Reported estimates of frailty prevalence vary considerably. At least partially attributable to differences in the conceptualization of frailty used, a better understanding of the inter-relationships among frailty domains could clarify contributors to the noted heterogeneity.

Methods

A global frailty index (FI) created from baseline data on 30,097 Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging comprehensive cohort participants was used to define physical, psychological, cognitive, and social domain-specific FIs. These were divided into quintiles with the highest 20% (Q5) representing the frailest participants. Logistic regression was used to estimate the associations between age group and biological sex with domain-specific FIs in unadjusted and adjusted (income, smoking sta
