Evaluation of Multimorbidity Burden in Frailty Transitions in Costa Rican Older Adults Using Multistate Markov Models
Multimorbidity is a predictor for dynamic transitions to frailty or death. It favors the transition to "Frailty" more than to death and impacts mortality mostly in people with a "Pre-frail" state, encouraging them to explore opportunities for intervention.
