Figure 2

Conceptual diagram of study. This figure illustrates the relationship between social frailty (independent variable) with intermediary outcome variables of nutrition, mood, physical performance, physical activity and life space mobility, which in turn can lead to downstream frailty and disability (not measured in this study). Physical frailty as measured by modified Fried criteria is a confounder variable which can affect both social frailty and intermediary outcomes. * defined by FRAIL criteria; GDS, Geriatric Depression Scale; IPAQ, International Physical Activity Questionnaire; LSA, Life–Space Assessment; MNA, Mini Nutritional Assessment; SFS-8, 8-item Social Frailty Scale; SPPB, Short Physical Performance Battery.
