Associations of lifestyles and frailty status with survival among older adults in China: a nationwide, community-based, prospective cohort study
Among older adults in China, lifestyles only mediate a small proportion of frailty disparities in overall survival; consequently, without direct interventions for frailty or additional favorable measures, promoting healthy lifestyles alone is insufficient to significantly reduce frailty disparities in survival. Furthermore, individuals of frailty and unhealthy lifestyles experience significantly shorter survival, highlighting the urgent need for targeted interventions for this population.
