A longitudinal study on multiple frailty and its associations with depression and social participation in older adults.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
To explore the changes in the physical, cognitive, and social frailty over a two-year follow-up and to identify the predictors associated with multiple frailty. This longitudinal cohort study utilized data from 2,534 recruited participants aged ≥ 70 years from the Korean Frailty and Aging Cohort Study (2016-2019). From baseline to follow-up, the percentages of physical, cognitive, and social frailty decreased from 3.6% to 3.0%, 2.9% to 2.1%, and 18.3% to 10.5%, respectively. Factors that influenced multiple frailty were taking more than five medications increased the risk of physical and cognitive frailty (odds ratio [OR] = 1.34, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.18-1.53, OR = 2.27, 95% CI: 1.53-3.38, respectively). The absence of national health check-ups increased the risk of physical and social frailty by 1.31 times and 1.30 times (95% CI: 1.11-1.54, 95% CI: 1.04-1.63, respectively). Depression and lower social participation emerged as key risk factors across multiple frailty. This research comprehensively understands modifiable and non-modifiable factors contributing to multiple frailty. By identifying depression and social participation as the most significant predictors across multiple frailty, this study highlights the urgent need for integrated interventions to prevent and manage multiple frailty.
