摘要: BACKGROUND frailty fluctuations, that is, within-person up and down deviations from individual long-term index trajectories represent a hitherto both conceptually empirically untapped facet of among older adults. OBJECTIVE to assess the size fluctuations in old age their association with levels, growth as well sex socio-economic position. METHODS total 18,704 biannual observations 4,514 community-dwelling adults (65+) 10 European countries over 12 years Survey Health, Ageing Retirement Europe (SHARE) were analysed. A was constructed based on 50 items. Long-term modelled simultaneously using Bayesian mixed-effects location-scale regression models. RESULTS non-negligible adults, amounting 0.04/0.05 FI or 2.0/2.5 health deficits average. 30% between 0.04 0.1 (2 5 deficits) 8% larger than (5 deficits). Fluctuations increased higher women, those low position (education) individuals who died during follow-up. CONCLUSIONS refer instabilities an person's status but relevant aspect vulnerability age. Future analysis should be number repeated shorter time intervals.
