In the model’s validation sample, screening the highest-risk 20% identified 55.6% of frailty cases, a 2.78-fold improvement over random screening.In the model’s validation sample, screening the highest-risk 20% identified 55.6% of frailty cases, a 2.78-fold improvement over random screening.
Across both cohorts, the odds ratio for frailty was 0.52 when comparing Spanish older adults in the highest versus lowest third of diet scores.Across both cohorts, the odds ratio for frailty was 0.52 when comparing Spanish older adults in the highest versus lowest third of diet scores.
