Anemia as a mediator: bridging the frailty index and hip fractures in older Chinese populations

The findings suggest that FI and anemia were positively associated with hip fracture, and anemia played a mediating role in the association between FI and hip fracture. Intervention based on exercise, nutrition and medical management can combat anemia and reduce FI and may be an effective way to prevent or delay hip fractures.
