Mediating effect of social participation in the association between cognitive frailty and health-related quality of life among hospitalized older adults: a cross-sectional study in Xi’an, China
The findings suggest that social participation mediates the association between cognitive frailty and HRQoL, particularly for women. This study expands the current literature on designing policy solutions to promote participation in social activities among older adults with cognitive frailty, with the goal of maintaining their HRQoL at a favorable level.
