Early cognitive frailty can reverse in rural older adults

In rural older adults, transition intensity from reversible cognitive frailty was 0.429 toward cognitive impairment alone and 0.291 toward physical frailty, versus 0.224…In rural older adults, transition intensity from reversible cognitive frailty was 0.429 toward cognitive impairment alone and 0.291 toward physical frailty, versus 0.224 toward further deterioration.
