Frailty and Cerebrovascular Profiles Are Associated with Early Cognitive and Behavioral Impairment in a Community‐Based Southeast Asian Cohort

Abstract

Background: Frailty and cerebrovascular disease (CSVD) frequently coexist, particularly in aging populations. In a meta‐analysis, frailty affected nearly half (49%) of stroke patients, with 22% classified as frail, contributing to poorer rehabilitation outcomes and greater disability.
