Frailty was assessed by the physical frailty phenotype paradigm that is grounded in 5 criteria: exhaustion, low physical activity, weakness, slowness, and unintentional weight loss (www.nhats.org).

Model 2 was adjusted for age, gender, race/ethnicity, census division, residence, and income.

Model 3 was adjusted for age, gender, race/ethnicity, census division, residence, income, BMI, and smoking status.

§

Model 4 was adjusted for age, gender, race/ethnicity, census division, residence, income, BMI, smoking status, diabetes, hypertension, and number of chronic diseases.
