Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common cause of disability in elderly. Clinical frailty associated with high mortality, but few studies have explored relationship between OA and frailty. The objective this study was to consider association frailty/pre-frailty an elderly population comprised six European cohorts participating EPOSA project. Longitudinal using baseline data first follow-up waves, from EPOSA; 2,455 individuals aged 65-85 years were recruited pre-existing population-based...
