and hospitalization. 3 Frailty and multimorbidity have a bidirectional relationship, 4 with frailty potentially originating from the existence of comorbidities and also predisposing older adults to multimorbidity. 3 According to Rockwood’s concept, frailty involved the accumulation of multiple deficits, including chronic diseases. 2 Moreover, both frailty and multimorbidity are associated with increased risks of hospitalization, mortality, and disabilities. 5 Previous studies have suggested that, in Vietnam, ABSTRACT Background/Purpose: This study aimed to identify the prevalence of frailty and multimorbidity, as well as their interrelationship, among communitydwelling older people in Vietnam. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved face-to-face interviews with community-dwelling older people who living in Ho Chi Minh City. Frailty was assessed according to Fried’s criteria, and multimorbidity was defined as the coexistence of ≥2 chronic diseases. Results: The study included 598 participants (mean age: 71.2±7.8 years, 67.2% female). The prevalence of multimorbidity was 55.5%. The prevalence of frailty was 18.1%, was significantly higher among participants with multimorbidity (multimorbidity: 23.1% vs. no multimorbidity: 11.5%, p <0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that multimorbidity was an independent factor that associated with frailty (adjusted odds ratio: 1.92, 95% confidence interval: 1.17-3.17, p =0.010). Conclusion: The prevalences of frailty and multimorbidity were very high among community-dwelling older people in Vietnam. Furthermore, multimorbidity was an independent factor that associated with frailty. Therefore, early health interventions are needed to prevent and manage both frailty and multimorbidity in this vulnerable population.

Fractures of the hip remain one of the most common and potentially devastating injuries in the geriatric population. It is a significant healthcare concern, with mortality rates within the first year after hip fracture ranging from 14–36%. Furthermore, hip fractures are the commonest cause of acute orthopaedic admissions amongst the elderly. According to a systemic review of 18 studies, the probability of falling at least once in any given year for individuals 65 years and older is approximately 27 percent. Old persons are susceptible to falls for many reasons, such as poor balance, neuromuscular disease, polypharmacy, visual impairment and cognitive impairment. Hip fractures can also be very debilitating for geriatric patients, especially because they differ significantly from their younger counterparts in their ABSTRACT

Background/Purpose: This study explored psychosocial and health-related variables that influence successful aging among older adults with kidney function decline. Methods: Using a cross-sectional design that recruited 350 participants from two outpatient clinics by simple random sampling. Participants completed a set of health and psychosocial measures. Structural equation modeling was used to test a model. Results: The final model of successful aging consisted of optimism, resilience, perception of health status, and self-transcendence. The model explained 84% of the total variance. Optimism, resilience, perception of health status, and self-transcendence influenced both direct effects and indirect effects on successful aging. Additionally, self-transcendence was found to be a moderator between optimism, resilience, perception of health status, and successful aging. Conclusion: The results provide the context of understanding the significant predictors for successful aging in older people with kidney function decline. Interventions that increase the interplay of predictors are needed to assist this population.
