Description
Haiyu Jin asks in 2023 whether feeling healthy can blunt the care costs that come with frailty in China. Frailty's root biology is unclear, so care tends to target function and symptoms. Self-rated health, a one-line self-score, may mark which frail people are in fact more resilient.
Data came from a large China aging survey, with people classed as not frail, pre-frail, or frail, and self-scores split into poor and good. Frailty and poor self-scores often went together, Jin notes, yet over a third of frail people rated their health good. Models split costs into clinic, hospital, and self-care lines. If a good self-score truly cuts frail people's costs, a cheap survey line could help target scarce elder care funds.
