Abstract

Considering the significant growth in India's aging population, it is imperative to identify factors associated with frailty among older Indians. This study examined the association between sleep quality, sleep duration, and physical frailty among older adults in India. Moreover, we examined whether the associations between sleep quality, sleep duration, and physical frailty varied by gender.

Research summary

The paper addresses factors associated with physical frailty in older adults, which is a significant aspect of aging research. However, it primarily focuses on associations rather than interventions or mechanisms that could lead to lifespan extension or address the root causes of aging. The findings may contribute to understanding frailty in the aging population, but they do not present a major advancement in the field of longevity research.
