Description
Lijian Han and coauthors analyze in 2026 whether frailty predicts new depression in older adults across three national aging studies. Frailty sums the health deficits a person accumulates with age. Its long-term link with depression had not been tested across several countries with one approach.
The team followed adults aged fifty and over in United States, English, and wider European cohorts who began free of depression. Thousands developed depression over follow-ups of two to eight years, at rates that differed by country. Frailty scores were modeled against that risk with several survival methods. Grip strength was tested as a middle step that might carry part of the effect.
