Patterns, predictors, and outcomes of frailty trajectories in community-dwelling older adults: Results from the FREEDOM Cohort Study

•The primary question addressed by this study?•This cohort study allowed to determine frailty trajectories among community-dwelling older adults population.•What is the main finding of this study?•The more significant predictive factors for poor frailty trajectories were cognitive impairment and dementia. Hypertension was discriminate factor between (frail regressing to pre-frail) and (frail progressing to more severe frailty).•Frailty trajectories were associated with clinical outcomes including falls, hospitalization, and cognition deficit.•What is the meaning of the finding?•This study determines four frailty trajectories among community-dwelling older adults. The modifiable predictive factors associated with poor frailty trajectory were hypertension, cognitive deficit and depressive symptoms.
