Description
Ana Alfaro and co-authors measure how often frailty and thinking problems overlap in older adults on dialysis. Their 2023 study draws a diverse sample from a wider project on mind, mood, and mobility. Dialysis patients face high risk on both fronts, yet the overlap was little mapped.
Thirty-five people took part, with an average age near seventy-four. About one fifth spoke Spanish, and the group spanned Asian, Black, and Hispanic backgrounds. Eighty-three percent scored in the impaired range on a standard thinking test. Eighty-six percent were frail or nearly so. Most, sixty-nine percent, carried both burdens at once. The authors urge care plans that treat the pair together, above all for underserved groups.
