Social isolation and cardiometabolic burden synergistically predict physical dysfunction in aging Chinese adults: Evidence of risk thresholds and the mediating role of frailty.
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the independent and synergistic effects of social isolation and multidimensional biomarkers (cardiovascular, metabolic, renal, muscular, and frailty) on physical dysfunction in middle-aged and older Chinese adults by utilizing an integrated sociobiological framework to address the limitations of the current research.
