How well do social frailty indices predict incident dementia in older adults?
Well-designed social frailty indices are an effective way to help identify older adults at increased risk of dementia. Replication of these findings in other cohorts is necessary to validate a screening tool for social frailty. Screening for social frailty using brief measures in primary care is a key next step, alongside social prescribing programs for those at risk of social frailty and cognitive decline.
