Longitudinal norms of frailty measured by the frailty index: A cross-national comparison using data from the survey of health, aging, and retirement in Europe (SHARE)
Key Points
The research aims to establish longitudinal norms of frailty trajectories across different countries.
Utilized data from the Survey of Health, Aging, and Retirement in Europe (SHARE)
Conducted a cross-national comparison of frailty measurements
Analyzed frailty trajectories over time
Identified distinct frailty trajectory patterns across countries
Provided a framework for interpreting frailty norms internationally
Highlighted variations in frailty measurements across different nations
Abstract
Findings from this cross-national comparison provide a framework within which the longitudinal norms of frailty trajectories from different countries can be interpreted.
