The temporal trend in frailty prevalence from 2011 to 2020 and disparities by equity factors among middle-aged and older people in China: A population-based study
The prevalence of frailty among the middle-aged and older population in China has increased. There will be an associated health and social care cost. Interventions targeted at older adults, those in rural areas, women, as well as those less educated, having no social engagement, and non-drinkers to mitigate the negative effects of frailty may be warranted.
