Abstract: Background:Cognitive frailty integrating impaired cognitive domains and frailty dimensions has not been explored. Objective:This study aimed to explore 1) associations among frailty dimensions and cognitive domains over time and 2) the extended definitions of cognitive frailty for predicting all-cause mortality. Methods:This four-year cohort study recruited 521 older adults at baseline (2011–2013). We utilized 1) generalized linear mixed models exploring associations of frailty dimensions (physical dimension: modified from Fried et al.; psychosocial dimension: integrating self-rated health, mood, and social relationship and support; global frailty: combining physical and psychosocial frailty) with cognition (global and domain-specific) over time and 2) time-dependent Cox proportional hazard models assessing associations between extended definitions of cognitive frailty (cognitive domains-frailty dimensions) and all-cause mortality. Results:At baseline, the prevalence was 3.0% for physical frailty and 37.6% for psychosocial frailty. Greater physical frailty was associated with poor global cognition (adjusted odds ratio = 1.43–3.29, β: –1.07), logical memory (β: –0.14 to –0.10), and executive function (β: –0.51 to –0.12). Greater psychosocial frailty was associated with poor global cognition (β: –0.44) and attention (β: –0.15 to –0.13). Three newly proposed definitions of cognitive frailty, “mild cognitive impairment (MCI)-psychosocial frailty,” “MCI-global frailty,” and “impaired verbal fluency-global frailty,” outperformed traditional cognitive frailty for predicting all-cause mortality (adjusted hazard ratio = 3.49, 6.83, 3.29 versus 4.87; AIC = 224.3, 221.8, 226.1 versus 228.1). Conclusion:Notably, extended definitions of cognitive frailty proposed by this study better predict all-cause mortality in older adults than the traditional definition of cognitive frailty, highlighting the importance of psychosocial frailty to reduce mortality in older adults.
