Peak Expiratory Flow and Its Trajectories Associated With Frailty in Older Adults: A Prospective Cohort Study
Low PEF over both short and extended periods was significantly associated with an increased risk of frailty in older adults. These findings highlight the importance of monitoring pulmonary function as a potential marker for frailty risk and suggest that PEF may influence different frailty phenotypes to varying extents.
