Frailty tied to prediabetes progression to diabetes and risk of CVD and mortality
China: A recent study has reported an association of frailty with the progression of prediabetes to diabetes and increased risks of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality in patients with prediabetes and diabetes. The findings of the study were produced in Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice.
There is a continual increase in diabetes patients, and it is expected to reach 300 million globally by 2025. In people with diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and death are attributed to classical risk factors, including dyslipidemia, hypertension, and smoking habits.

Frailty is a condition associated with reduced physical and mental activities with age resulting in psychological and physical weakness.

Examining the relationship of frailty with cardiovascular diseases, mortality, and hospitalization in diabetes patients is essential in medical economics and clinical.
Against the above background, Qing Chen and the research team from China conducted the study to assess the impacts of frailty on the progression of prediabetes to diabetes, CVD and all-cause mortality in people with prediabetes and diabetes.
