Frailty trajectories in three longitudinal studies of aging: Is the level or the rate of change more predictive of mortality?
Background frailty shows an upward trajectory with age, and higher levels increase the risk
of mortality. However, it is less known whether the shape of frailty trajectories differs by age …
