Translated Title
Published in
J Nutr Health Aging 2018; 22(1):8-15
Abstract
Previous studies showed a U-shaped association between BMI and (physical) frailty. We studied the association between BMI and physical, cognitive, psychological, and social frailty. Furthermore, the overlap between and prevalence of these frailty domains was examined.
