Mediation indicated that change had an effect on score (T) T2 dimensions dysfunction health. All adjusted for age, multimorbidity T1.Poor is common problem poor after year, progression mediates this association.The findings provide better understanding elucidate mediating frailty. Regular screening effective treatment by healthcare providers problems are necessary improve their enhance healthy ageing.Participants provided all analysis manuscript.
