SF-36 mental component summary score

SF-36 mental component summary score is associated with incident frailty in humans (Bottom versus top quartile of MCS; FFP-defined frailty at older ages) (HR 1.49, 95% CI 1.15–1.93).

“MCS [HR = 1.49 (1.15, 1.93)] were associated with a higher risk of FFP-defined frailty at older ages.”

SF-36 mental component summary score is linked with a lower risk of mortality in humans (incident lung cancer) (-24% hazard of death (p < 0.0001)).

“An above average physical or mental component summary score was associated with 16 and 24% decreases in the hazard of death, respectively (p < 0.0001).”
