Association between frailty and subjective life expectancy in Sub-Saharan Africa: Evidence from Côte D'Ivoire
Aim
Frailty and Subjective Life Expectancy are important determinants of the health and well-being of older adults. This study aims to investigate the relationship between frailty and Subjective Life Expectancy in Sub-Sahara Africa.
Methods
This study is a cross-sectional study involving 1,017 older adults aged 50 years and above across three regions of Côte d'Ivoire. A 30-item Frailty Index was used to determine the prevalence of frailty. Subjective Life Expectancy was measured using self-reported estimates of expected lifespan. The point estimate and probabilistic procedures were used, with target ages set at 60, 80, 85, and 90 years. A non-parametric estimation procedure was used to compute the average life expectancy at individual level based on data from the probabilistic procedure. The distributional effects of frailty on Subjective Life Expectancy were assessed with the quantile selection model.
Results
The results indicate that, more than half (59.3 %) of the study participants were frail, 24.6 % were pre-frail and 16.1 % were non-frail. Being frail was negatively associated with Subjective Life Expectancy. Frail individuals had up to 3.7 years lower Subjective Life Expectancy compared to the non-frail individuals. Compared to individuals aged 50–54, those aged 55–59 and 80+ years had 4.8 and 27.8 years lower Subjective Life Expectancy respectively.
Conclusion
The study demonstrates a close connection between frailty and Subjective Life Expectancy among older adults, suggesting that interventions aimed at preventing or reducing frailty can influence Subjective Life Expectancy and overall well-being.
期刊介绍:
Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics provides a medium for the publication of papers from the fields of experimental gerontology and clinical and social geriatrics. The principal aim of the journal is to facilitate the exchange of information between specialists in these three fields of gerontological research. Experimental papers dealing with the basic mechanisms of aging at molecular, cellular, tissue or organ levels will be published.
Clinical papers will be accepted if they provide sufficiently new information or are of fundamental importance for the knowledge of human aging. Purely descriptive clinical papers will be accepted only if the results permit further interpretation. Papers dealing with anti-aging pharmacological preparations in humans are welcome. Papers on the social aspects of geriatrics will be accepted if they are of general interest regarding the epidemiology of aging and the efficiency and working methods of the social organizations for the health care of the elderly.
