Clinical and Objective Cognitive Measures for the Diagnosis of Cognitive Frailty Subtypes: A Comparative Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cognitive frailty (CF) includes reversible and potentially reversible subtypes; the former is known as concurrent physical frailty (PF) and pre-mild cognitive impairment subjective cognitive decline (pre-MCI SCD), whereas the latter is known as concurrent PF and MCI. The diagnoses of pre-MCI SCD and MCI are based on clinical criteria and various subjective cognitive decline questionnaires. Heterogeneous assessment of cognitive impairment (CI) results in significant variability of CI, CF, and their subtype prevalence in various population-based studies.

Objective

This study aimed to compare the classification differences in CI and CF subtypes from PF and normal cognition by applying clinical and objective cognitive criteria. Clinical criteria comprised Fried PF and
