Key Points

This research aims to understand the differing self-rated health trajectories among frail older adults.
Utilized group-based trajectory modeling to analyze health patterns.
Examined factors like social participation, health behaviors, and economic resources.
Focused on a population of frail older adults.
Identified varied self-rated health trajectories within the frail older adult group.
Found social participation, health behaviors, and economic resources significantly influence health patterns.
Proposed self-rated health as a useful indicator for identifying high-risk groups for targeted interventions.

Abstract

Frail older adults demonstrate heterogeneous SRH trajectories. Social participation, health behaviors, and economic resources are key determinants of SRH patterns. SRH may serve as a practical screening indicator for identifying high-risk groups and informing tailored community-based care strategies.
