| 摘要: | Background: Frailty has begun to attract attention in recent years because it is associated with adversehealth outcomes. The purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence of frailty in elderly people inTaiwan and to examine the associated factors.Methods: Data were extracted from a representative subsample of “The Coming of an Aging Society: AnIntegrative Study on Social Planning in Taiwan in 2025” that comprised 495 older adults. Multinomiallogistic regression analyses were conducted to examine the relationships between frailty status andindividual factors, health conditions, environmental factors, and activities.Results: Among all the participants, 45.9% were classified as “nonfrail”, 45.9% exhibited “prefrailty”, and8.3% were “frail”. After controlling for the dependent variables, the factors significantly influencing prefrailtywere age [odds ratio (OR) ? 1.07, p < 0.001], diabetes (OR ? 2.18, p < 0.01), depressive syndrome(OR ? 3.66, p < 0.001), and the number of activities in which the participants were involved (OR ? 1.24,p < 0.05). The factors significantly influencing frailty were age (OR ? 1.14, p < 0.001), non-Fukien ethnicity
(OR ? 3.01, p < 0.05), depressive syndrome (OR ? 6.89, p < 0.001), diabetes (OR ? 2.69, p < 0.05), and thenumber of activities in which the participants were involved (OR ? 2.39, p < 0.001).Conclusion: To prevent a decline in the functions of elderly people, the results of this study should bereferenced when developing intervention strategies in which preventive actions are implemented to aidelderly people with particular risk factors such as diabetes, depression, and infrequent participation insocial activities.Copyright © 2014, Taiwan Society of Geriatric Emergency & Critical Care Medicine.
