We present results on a range of vascular factors and their associations with frailty in a socially and geographically representative sample of older British men.
The estimates log baseline hazards of the nine onsets are displayed and compared with the true one in Figure 2. The samples with the larger frailty effect (q = 2) give the closest estimates to the true baseline hazard.
Why are we only fascinated with frailty?
All of our covariates were significantly associated with frailty when they were independently tested.
Mortality was positively associated with frailty.
Several variables correlated strongly with frailty.
Poor hearing was strongly associated with frailty, but not with pre-frailty status in our study.
Clinical OA is associated with frailty and pre-frailty in older adults in European countries.
Clinical OA is strongly associated with frailty and pre-frailty in older adults.
These loadings show how differently the frailty indicators correlate with frailty, compared to their specific factors.
