The interrelationship of frailty, multimorbidity and disability in Parkinson’s disease: PRIME-UK cross-sectional study
Amongst a representative sample of people with parkinsonism, there was a high frequency and co-occurrence of pre-frailty/frailty, sarcopenia, multimorbidity, polypharmacy and disability. This has implications for the structuring of health services for people with parkinsonism. There may also be opportunities to intervene to stop or slow the trajectory towards disability.
