Risk aversion and time preference among elderly: does frailty matter?
Article in International journal of health economics and management, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Frailty among older adults is a critical determinant of economic choices and individual behavior. While risk and time preferences are key factors in decision-making, their relationship with frailty remains unexplored. This study addresses this gap by examining how frailty influences attitudes toward risk and intertemporal choices. We collected data from older adults in two regions of Côte d'Ivoire, using a gambling-based method to measure risk and time preferences, along with a 30-item frailty questionnaire. A copula-based endogenous treatment effect model is employed to account for potential endogeneity between frailty and behavioral outcomes. Our findings show that frailty makes older adults less risk-averse and more focused on immediate rewards. These results suggest that reducing frailty could also influence economic choices and improve long-term well-being for aging populations.
