Incidence of Frailty, Dementia, and Disability Among Community‐Living Older Americans According to County‐Level Disadvantage
Community-living older Americans who reside in disadvantaged counties have a higher incidence of frailty, probable dementia, and ADL disability over a 5-year follow-up period compared to their non-disadvantaged counterparts. Findings underscore the vital, underappreciated role that county-level social contextual disadvantage plays on clinically meaningful outcomes in older persons in the U.S.
