Article Synopsis
- This study explored how common frailty is and what factors contribute to it among Taiwanese patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).
- Researchers conducted a cross-sectional study with 188 AF patients over the age of 20 in northern Taiwan, using structured questionnaires to gather various health and lifestyle data.
- The results showed that more than two-thirds of AF patients were at risk for frailty, particularly as they aged, with significant predictors being sex, cognitive function, nutrition, sleep quality, and depression, highlighting the need for better assessment and management strategies.
