Description
Summary:Highlights • The prevalence of frailty in a population with CVD was 39.8%. • Frail people are more likely to be older, have a low level of education, lower cognition and greater disability. • Low systolic and diastolic blood pressures are significantly and independently associated with frailty. • Frailty is an independent predictor for disability. • Frailty is associated with a higher mortality risk.
