Frailty is associated with transition to diabetes in humans (association conditional on baseline state; sensitive to prevalent-case design) (TIR 0.65, 95% CI 0.49–0.85; baseline condition-free restriction: 0.099, 95% CI 0.056–0.141).
“Both transition ratios were below 1 (TIR diabetes→frailty 0.22, 95% CI 0.18–0.29; TIR frailty→diabetes 0.65, 95% CI 0.49–0.85).”

The modeled death rate was about 0.16 per person-year with frailty alone versus 0.07 with neither frailty nor diabetes.The modeled death rate was about 0.16 per person-year with frailty alone versus 0.07 with neither frailty nor diabetes.
