Association of Frailty Index at 66 Years of Age with Health Care Costs and Utilization Over 10 Years in Korea: Retrospective Cohort Study
Our study demonstrates the potential utility of assessing frailty at 66 years of age in identifying older adults who are more likely to incur high health care costs and utilize health care services over the subsequent 10 years. The long-term high health care costs and utilization associated with frailty and prefrailty warrants public health strategies to prevent and manage frailty in aging populations.
