Understanding Frailty, Functional Health and Disability among Older Persons in India: A Decomposition Analysis of Gender and Place of Resident

Quick takeaway

This decomposition analysis shows how frailty and disability are unevenly distributed by sex and residence, helping planners target scarce prevention resources.

Why this matters

Useful for prevention targeting because it points to where screening and support should be concentrated first.

Key caution

Secondary analysis is limited by the variables already present in the source dataset and residual confounding is likely.
