Development and validation of a predictive model for cognitive frailty in community-dwelling older adults: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cognitive frailty (CF) is a geriatric syndrome involving both physical frailty and cognitive impairment, increasing vulnerability to adverse health outcomes. However, practical prediction models integrating easily accessible, modifiable risk factors for community settings are lacking. This study aimed to develop and validate a predictive model for CF in community-dwelling older adults.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted from September 2022 to May 2024 in Pudong New District, Shanghai, with 979 participants aged 60 and above. Data on sociodemographic characteristics, behavioral factors, nutritional status, sleep quality, depression, as well as lifestyle, health-related factors, physical frailty, and cognitive function were collected through questionnaire
