Transitions From Frailty States to Cardiovascular Events: An 11-Year Prospective Study of Community-Dwelling Older People
The probability of transiting from pre-frail/frail to CVD increased over time, even among initially healthy older people. Targeted prevention strategies may be helpful to delay frailty progression and reduce CVD risk in older age, particularly socioeconomically disadvantaged individuals or those residing outside major cities, and different approaches may be required in females and males.
