Cognitive frailty — the coexistence of physical frailty and cognitive impairment—is a phenotype of frailty in the elderly. The coexistence of physical frailty and cognitive impairment, known as cognitive frailty, is one of the phenotypes of frailty in the elderly. Cognitive frailty predicts adverse health outcome more accurately than does physical frailty. In this study, we aim to determine whether the polypharmacy common among the elderly is linked with cognitive frailty.
