Description
Hoa Trung Dinh and co-authors linked frailty to falls in 2025 among older Vietnamese outpatients with type 2 diabetes. Frailty and falls both erode health and freedom in this group, yet their tie in Vietnam was unstudied. The team read 740 patients past sixty at a Hanoi geriatric hospital. Fall risk came from a twenty-one-item index and frailty from a clinical scale.
Near a fifth were frail, and a like share had fallen in the past year. Frailty more than quadrupled fall odds after full adjustment. Age, poor sugar control, diabetes complications, and other old-age syndromes added risk. The team urges routine frailty checks in diabetes care so fall plans can target the frailest.
