Change in frailty among older COVID-19 survivors

COVID-19 survivors are at greater risk for new medical conditions. Among older adults, where multimorbidity and functional impairment are common, frailty measurement provides a tool for understanding how infection impacts future health beyond a one-disease-at-a-time approach. We investigated whether...

Zusammenfassung:	COVID-19 survivors are at greater risk for new medical conditions. Among older adults, where multimorbidity and functional impairment are common, frailty measurement provides a tool for understanding how infection impacts future health beyond a one-disease-at-a-time approach. We investigated whether COVID-19 was associated with change in frailty among older Veterans. Data were from the Veterans Affairs (VA) COVID-19 Observational Research Collaboratory, which extracted VA medical record data. We included Veterans who had COVID-19 from March 1, 2020, to April 30, 2021 and matched uninfected controls. We excluded those
