Associations of frailty and cognitive impairment with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in older adults: a prospective cohort study from NHANES 2011–2014
Our study highlights the ubiquity of frailty and cognitive impairment in older adults and underscores the heightened risk of mortality associated with their coexistence. These findings suggest the critical need for proactive screening and management of frailty and cognitive function in clinical practice to improve outcomes for the older adults.
