Trajectories of frailty in aging: Prospective cohort study.

<h4>Background</h4>Emerging evidence suggests that there is significant variability in the progression of frailty in aging. We aimed to identify latent subpopulations of frailty trajectories, and examine their clinical and biological correlates.<h4>Methods</h4>We characterize...

Clinical risk profile and walking while talking performance as a clinical marker of trajectories were examined.

Four distinct classes of frailty trajectories were also shown in an independent sample of 515 older adults (60% women, 68% White, 26% Black).
