Multidimensional Frailty-Related Vulnerability Profiles Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A Data-Driven Cluster Analysis of the 2023 National Survey of Older Koreans

Background

/Objectives: Frailty-related vulnerability spans health, physical function, health behaviors, cognition, and psychological well-being. A single summary score may not fully convey how these features co-occur within individuals. This study identified data-driven frailty-related profiles among community-dwelling older adults and compared the magnitude of between-profile differences.
