Abstract

Frailty is a dynamic condition, but the influence of female reproductive factors on its long-term trajectories remains unclear. This study aimed to examine whether age at menarche (AAM), age at menopause (AMP) and reproductive span (RS) predict long-term frailty trajectories in middle-aged and older women.
