Description
Paola Sosa-Sarmiento, Jose Ocampo-Chaparro, and Carlos Reyes-Ortiz studied heart and blood vessel disease and frailty in Colombia, in a paper from twenty twenty-three. They used a national survey of adults aged sixty and older. Frailty was judged by weakness, slow walking, low activity, tiredness, and weight loss.
About six in ten adults in the sample had some form of cardiovascular disease, and one in five was frail. People with one such disease had higher odds of frailty. People with two or more had higher odds still. The authors suggest that preventing heart and vessel disease may also help prevent frailty in older adults.
