Frailty and disability among older adults residing in Rohingya refugee camp in Bangladesh
The findings underscore the need for long-term care and health promotion activities to alleviate the burden of frailty and disability among older adults in humanitarian settings. Efforts should particularly target the most vulnerable groups- older individuals (≥80 years), women, those without formal education, those living in large families, and those with non-communicable diseases.
