Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine how common frailty is among older outpatients in rural and urban Vietnam, analyzing data from 1,084 participants aged 60 and above.
- Frailty was found to be present in 28% of patients, with slightly higher rates in urban areas (30%) compared to rural areas (26%), and associated factors included older age, being underweight, and having difficulties with daily activities.
- Conversely, higher education and engaging in productive work were linked to a lower likelihood of being frail.
