Frailty linked to multiple heart, blood-vessel or metabolic diseases
Higher versus lower frailty scores were linked to multiple heart, blood-vessel or metabolic diseases, with a hazard ratio—a relative rate measure—of 1.33.Higher versus lower frailty scores were linked to multiple heart, blood-vessel or metabolic diseases, with a hazard ratio—a relative rate measure—of 1.33.
