Retrospectively reconstructed body mass index change patterns and their association with frailty among American adults: national health and Nutrition Examination survey 2007-2018
Rapid transitions to overweight or obesity and increasing obesity were linked to higher frailty risk compared to maintaining a normal weight. A gradual increase to overweight did not significantly affect frailty risk. Severity and speed of BMI changes are key factors of frailty.
