  1. CHARLS China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, OR odds ratio, CI confidence interval, CI-PF cognitive impairment and physical frailty, FI frailty index, MCR Motoric Cognitive Risk syndrome, NHANES National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, HR hazard ratio
  2. Notes: aAs previously reported (Chen et al., 2020), significant differences in all-cause mortality between the four CI-PF groups were observed
  3. Model 1: adjusted for age, and sex
  4. Model 2: adjusted for age, sex, education, and residence (in CHARLS) or ethnicity/race (in NHANES)
