In the LRGS-TUA study, a comprehensive interview-based questionnaire was administered to obtain the socio-demographic information of the participants, followed by assessments to examine the cognitive function, functional status, dietary intake, lifestyle, psychosocial status and biomarkers associated with cognitive frailty. The factors associated with cognitive frailty were assessed using a bivariate logistic regression (BLR).Results: The majority of the older adults were categorized as robust (68.4%), followed by cognitively pre-frail (37.4%) and cognitively frail (2.2%). The data on the cognitively frail and pre-frail groups were combined for comparison with the robust group. A hierarchical BLR indicated that advancing age (OR=1.04, 95% CI:1.01–1.08, p<0.05) and depression (OR=1.49, 95% CI:1.34–1.65, p<0.001) scored lower on the Activity of Daily Living (ADL) scale (OR=0.98, 95% CI:0.96–0.99, p<0.05), while low social support (OR=0.98, 95% CI:0.97–0.99, p<0.05) and low niacin intake (OR=0.94, 95% CI:0.89–0.99, p<0.05) were found to be significant factors for cognitive frailty. Higher oxidative stress (MDA) and lower telomerase activity were also associated with cognitive frailty (p<0.05).Conclusion: Older age, a lower niacin intake, lack of social support, depression and lower functional status were identified as significant factors associated with cognitive frailty among older Malaysian adults. MDA and telomerase activity can be used as potential biomarkers for the identification of cognitive frailty.Keywords: frailty, mild cognitive impairment, cognitive frailty, older adultsMalek Rivan NFShahar SRajab NFSingh DKADin NCHazlina MHamid TATADove Medical Pressarticlefrailtymild cognitive impairmentcognitive frailtyolder adultsGeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 14, Pp 1343-1352 (2019)
