Abstract

The role of frailty in all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality is debatable, and the modification effect of biological aging remains unclear. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the joint association of frailty index and biological aging with all-cause and cause-specific mortality.

The following analysis is generated by AI and may contain errors. It is separate from the authors’ abstract and is not peer review.

Research summary

The paper claims to evaluate the joint association of frailty index and biological aging with mortality outcomes. This study is relevant as it explores the interplay between frailty and biological aging, which are critical factors in understanding longevity and age-related health outcomes.
