Socioeconomic inequalities in frailty among older adults in six low- and middle-income countries: Results from the WHO Study on global AGEing and adult health (SAGE)

Substantial socioeconomic inequalities in frailty were observed in LMICs, but additional research is needed to find explanations for these. Given that the population of older adults in many LMICs is expanding at a greater rate than in many high-income countries, our results indicate an urgent public health need to address frailty in these countries.
