Tóm tắt

PURPOSE: To investigate the classification and characteristics of frailty transition in older adults over a 1-year period. METHOD: A three-wave mailed cohort survey was conducted in a community setting. Data from 361 participants who answered all items were analyzed. Group-based multivariate trajectory modeling (GBTM) was used to classify frailty transitions over the three time points. RESULTS: GBTM revealed the best fit when participants were divided into four trajectory groups (G1: "worsened frailty after 1 year" [ CONCLUSION: Four frailty transition types were identified in the three-wave survey conducted over 1 year. Swallowing function was associated with the progression or improvement of frailty. [
