Abstract |
Background |
Frailty may increase the risk of adverse outcomes and the presence of comorbidities in hypertension. Understanding the prevalence of frailty in older adults with hypertension is of great importance, whereas estimates of the prevalence of frailty in this population vary greatly.
Objectives |
A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to estimate the pooled prevalence of frailty and prefrailty among community-dwelling older adults with hypertension, and to examine the risk factors associated with (pre)frailty in this population.
Methods |
PubMed, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and CINAHL were searched from the inception to May 10, 2023. Investigators assessed eligibility, extracted data, and evaluated methodological quality. The pooled prevalence of frailty and prefrailty was calculated using the random-effects model. Meta-regression analysis and subgroup analysis were conducted to explore sources of heterogeneity. Sensitivity analysis was undertaken by the leave-one-out method and by removing studies with moderate/high risk of bias. The Mantel-Haenszel or inverse variance method was used to estimate risk factors of frailty.
Results |
A total of 14 studies met the inclusion criteria, involving 185,249 participants. The pooled prevalence in older adults with hypertension was 23% (95% CI 0.09–0.36) for frailty and 46% (95% CI 0.38–0.54) for prefrailty. The pooled prevalence of frailty was greater in studies with a higher proportion of females (24%, 95% CI 0.05–0.50), using multidimensional tools to define frailty (30%, 95% CI 0.10–0.51) and conducted in Western Pacific (27%, 95% CI 0.17–0.39). Age, female sex, depression, and previous hospitalizations were risk factors of frailty among older adults with hypertension.
Conclusion |
Frailty and prefrailty are prevalent in community-dwelling older adults with hypertension, and limited risk factors are identified. This implicates the importance of frailty assessment integrated into the routine primary care for older adults with hypertension in community settings as well as the understanding of potential factors.
