Analysis shows frailty increases with age in older people in Côte d'Ivoire, suggesting emphasis on preventive strategies and chronic conditions.
The higher frailty burden among women and its progressive increase with age highlight the need for early, gender-sensitive screening approaches. Preventive strategies should begin in midlife and focus on risk factors linked to frailty, such as low physical activity and poorly managed chronic conditions. This will help to slow frailty progression in later life.
