Studying frailty is crucial for enhancing the health and quality of life among older adults, refining healthcare delivery methods, and tackling the obstacles linked to an aging demographic. Approaches to frailty modeling often utilise simple analytic...
Recently, methods of quickly and accurately screening for geriatric depression have attracted substantial attention. Short forms of the 30-item Geriatric Depression Scale have been developed based on classical test theory, such as the GDS-4, GDS-5, a...
BACKGROUND: Screening for frequent hospitalizations in the community can help prevent super-utilizers from growing in the inpatient population. However, the determinants of frequent hospitalizations have not been systematically examined, their operat...
OBJECTIVE: This study on the aged population in China first used a large-scale longitudinal survey database to explore how different life factors affect their ability to engage in daily activities. We select and integrate multiple machine models to o...
Frailty is common among older adults with chronic pain, and early identification is crucial in preventing adverse outcomes like falls, disability, and dementia. However, effective tools for identifying frailty in this population remain limited. This ...
