Factors associated with social frailty in older adults in Colombia

SF is prevalent among Colombian elderly individuals, affecting nearly seven in ten community-dwelling older adults. It is also significantly associated with demographic, health, and functional conditions. Additionally, social issues such as economic status, social isolation, loneliness, and social participation are increasingly prominent among older adults. Thus, SF resulting from social issues requires greater attention, particularly in non-developed countries. Consequently, to promote healthy aging, it is imperative to implement measures aimed at preventing and mitigating SF among older adults in light of these findings.
