The present findings are suggestive of an almost complete lack of evidence on the addressed topic. In particular, randomized controlled trials are strongly needed in order to gain insights about the possibility of positively affecting the frailty syndrome by acting of cognition and improving cognitive impairment by targeting the physical components of frailty. Moreover, these studies may produce the first evidences about the novel concept of 'cognitive frailty' and its potential for reversibility.

“…Type 2 diabetes disproportionately impacts the Latino community, and is a leading cause of preventable mortality and morbidity for Latinos (Espinoza, Jung, & Hazuda, 2013). In the United States, diabetes was the 5th leading cause of death for Latinos in 2010; the age-adjusted prevalence of diabetes for adult Latinos was 17.9% and the age-adjusted death rate for diabetes was 27.1 years (National Center for Health Statistics, 2013; National Center for Injury Prevention, 2007; Schiller, Lucas, Ward, & Peregoy, 2012).…”

The Impact of Neighborhood Socioeconomic Position on Prevalence of Diabetes and Prediabetes in Older Latinos: The Sacramento Area Latino Study on Aging

et al. 2015

Diabetes is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Latinos, but few studies of disease risk in this subpopulation examine both area-level socioeconomic position and its association with individual-level risk factors. This study sought to examine the cross-sectional relationship between neighborhood socioeconomic position (NSEP) and prevalent diabetes and pre-diabetes status among older Latinos. Longitudinal health data were collected from 1,789 participants in the Sacramento Area Latino Study on Aging (SALSA). Among SALSA participants, higher NSEP was associated with lower diabetes prevalence (p = 0.001). Adjustment for BMI and other individual-level factors did not affect this relationship. No association was observed between NSEP and pre-diabetes in both unadjusted and adjusted models. Neighborhoods with higher SEP had a lower prevalence of diabetes. This study highlights the importance of considering neighborhood factors that may place older Latinos at high risk for this disease.

“…This has led to studies which also evaluate the psychosocial factors associated with frailty. 27,28,29 Nonetheless, despite these limits, the strengths of the study are its population-based design, sample size, almost complete older participants follow-up, and the adjustments for an extensive number of potential confounders.…”

Objective. To describe the characteristics and prognosis of subjects classified as frail in a large sample of Mexican community-dwelling elderly. Materials and methods. An eleven-year longitudinal study of 5 644 old adults participating in the Mexican Health and Aging Study (MHAS). Frailty was defined by meeting at least three of the following criteria: weight loss, weakness, exhaustion, slow walking speed and low physical activity. The main outcomes were incident disability and death. Multiple covariates were used to test the prognostic value of frailty. Results. Thirty-seven percent of participants (n = 2 102) met the frailty criteria. Frail participants were significantly older, female, less educated, with more chronic disease, lower income, and poorer self-reported health status, in comparison with their non-frail counterparts. Frailty was a predictor both for disability activities of daily living and for mortality. Conclusion. After a follow-up of more than ten years, the phenotype of frailty was a predictor for adverse health-related outcomes, including ADL disability and death.
