The contribution of depression and anxiety to frailty in men and women: data from a longitudinal population-based cohort study
Depression and anxiety are two potentially treatable conditions contributing to frailty over time, with anxiety specifically affecting women. As frailty status can change from pre-frail to robust over time, recognizing pre-frailty is paramount to start interventions at this stage with the aim of improving frailty status.
