Cognitive frailty and 5-year adverse health-related outcomes for the Malaysian elders longitudinal research (MELoR) study
Purpose: To determine the risk of adverse outcomes among prefrail and frail individuals with and without cognitive impairment as well as those with isolated cognitive impairment compared to robust individuals without cognitive impairment. Methods: Data from the Malaysian elders longitudinal resea...

Methods: Data from the Malaysian elders longitudinal research (MELoR) study were utilised. Baseline data were obtained from home-based computer-assisted interviews and hospital-based health-checks from 2013 to 2015. Protocol of MELoR study has been described in previous study (Lim in PLoS One 12(3):e0173466, 2017).

Sarcopenia at follow-up was determined using the strength, assistance with walking, rising from a chair, climbing stairs, and falls (SARC-F) questionnaire. Results: Follow-up data was available for 776 participants, mean (SD) age 68.1 (7.1) years and 57.1% women. At baseline, 37.1% were robust, 12.8% had isolated cognitive impairment, 24.1% were prefrail, 1.0% were frail, 20.2% were prefrail with cognitive impairment, and 4.8% had CF. Differences in age, ethnicity, quality of life, psychological status, function and comorbidities were observed across groups. The association between CF with hospitalisation and falls compared to robust individuals was attenuated by ethnic differences. Pre-frail individuals were at increased risk of memory worsening compared robust individuals [aOR(95%CI) = 1.69 (1.09-2.60)]. Frail [7.70 (1.55-38.20)], prefrail with cognitive impairment [3.35 (1.76-6.39)] and CF [6.15 (2.35-16.11)] were significantly more likely to be sarcopenic at 5-year follow-up compared to the robust group.

Baseline data were obtained from home-based computer-assisted interviews and hospital-based health-checks from 2013 to 2015. Protocol of MELoR study has been described in previous study (Lim in PLoS One 12(3):e0173466, 2017).
