TL;DR

Cognitive frailty is common among community-dwelling older adults worldwide and systematic identification and targeted multi-domain interventions should be prioritized in aging societies.

Abstract

Cognitive frailty, defined as the co‐occurrence of physical frailty/prefrailty and cognitive impairment in the absence of dementia, is a potentially reversible condition that may signal high risk for disability and dementia. This systematic review and meta‐analysis estimated the global prevalence of cognitive frailty among community‐dwelling older adults and examined methodological and contextual moderators of prevalence differences.
