Association between frailty and pain in older people at high risk of future hospitalization by Huan-Ji Dong, Joakim Yang, Maria M. Johansson, Maria M. Johansson, Anneli Peolsson, Anneli Peolsson, Marco Barbero, Magnus Nord, Magnus Nord

“…However, the models with ADL-staircase score (OR: 1.4, 95% CI: 1.2–1.6) had a higher explanatory power (Nagelkerke R2: 0.39) in predicting frailty than those without this aspect (R2: 0.10 and 0.13).ConclusionIn older people at high risk of hospitalization, pain frequency seemed to be related to frailty, whilst ADL dependency demonstrated a stronger association.…”
