Prevalence and incidence of frailty among community-dwelling older adults in Slovenia [Elektronski vir] = Razširjenost in pojavnost krhkosti med starejšimi odraslimi v SlovenijiJazbar, Janja, farmacevtka ...Introduction: Frailty is recognized as one of the most important global health challenges as the population is aging. The aim of this study was to evaluate prevalence and incidence of frailty, and ... associated factors, among the population of older adults in Slovenia compared to other European countries. Methods: The prevalence and 4-year incidence of frailty among older adults (>%65 years) were evaluated using data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE). Frailty was defined by the SHARE operationalization of Frailty phenotype. Multiple logistic regression model was used to explore factors associated with frailty. Results: Age-standardized prevalence (95% CI) of frailty and pre-frailty in Slovenia were 14.9% (13.3-16.5) and 42.5% (39.8-45.2), respectively. Factors (OR, 95% CI) associated with increased frailty in Slovenia included age (75- 84 years: 5.03 (3.08-8.22); >85 years 21.7 (10.6-44.7) vs. 65-74 years), self-rated health (fair: 4.58 (2.75-7.61), poor: 54.6 (28.1-105.9) vs. excellent/very good/good), number of chronic diseases (1.20 (1.03-1.40)), and polypharmacy (yes: 3.25 (1.93-5.48) vs. no). Female gender and lower education were significantly associated with pre-frailty, but not frailty, in the adjusted model. Independently of these characteristics, age-standardized prevalence of frailty varied among geographical regions. Age-standardized 4-year incidence of frailty and pre-frailty in Slovenia were 6.6% (3.0-10.1) and 40.2% (32.7-47.6), respectively. Conclusion: Among the Slovenian population of older adults aged 65 years and older, the age-standardized prevalence of frailty is 15% and 4-year incidence of frailty is 7%. Regional differences in Slovenia show the lowest prevalence in central Slovenian regions and the highest in northeastern Slovenian regions.Source: Slovenian journal of public health [Elektronski vir] : the journal of National Institute of Public Health. - ISSN 1854-2476 (Vol. 60, iss. 3, 2021, str. 190-198)Type of material - e-article ; adult, seriousPublish date - 2021Language - englishCOBISS.SI-ID - 70222083
