Article Abstract
Background: The use of transport other than cars is a modifiable factor in the association between driving cessation and social frailty. Clarifying this relationship may serve as a new preventive measure against social frailty among current non-drivers. This study examined the potential association of driving status and transport use with social frailty, as well as between the frequency of transport use and social frailty, among current non-drivers.
Methods: This study included 977 middle-aged and older adults (average age 65.3 ± 4.8 years). The participants were classified as transport users (more than a few times a week) and transport non-users (less than a few times a month). Based on driving status and transport use, the groups were further classified into current driver, current non-driver/transport user, and current non-driver/transport non-user groups. We performed statistical analyses to examine the relationships between driving status, transport use, and social frailty.
Results: The current non-driver/transport non-user group showed a significant association with a higher social frailty. The current non-driver/transport user group showed no association with social frailty compared with the current driver group. The current non-driver/transport non-user group showed a significant association with a higher social frailty rate (OR 2.14, 95%CI 1.25-3.73).
Conclusions: Participants who did not drive or take transport showed significant associations with increased social frailty. Compared with current driver/transport use, current non-driver/transport non-use was associated with social frailty.

Objective: Prehabilitation may have benefits for total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA), given an aging population with multimorbidity and the growth of value-based programs that focus on reducing postoperative costs. We aimed to describe prehabilitation use and examine predictors of utilization in fee-for-service Medicare beneficiaries.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study using the Medicare Limited Data Set included fee-for-service Medicare beneficiaries who were ≥ 66 years old and who underwent inpatient elective THA or TKA between January 1, 2016, and September 30, 2021.

Aim: To investigate the risk factors associated with frailty in older patients with ischaemic stroke, develop a nomogram and apply it clinically.
Design: A cross-sectional study.
Methods: Altogether, 567 patients who experienced ischaemic strokes between March and December 2023 were temporally divided into training (n = 452) and validation (n = 115) sets and dichotomised into frail and non-frail groups using the Tilburg Frailty Indicator scale.
