Abstract

The purpose of this 2 year longitudinal study was to identify the relationship between self‐care agency, lifestyle, physical condition, and frailty among community‐dwelling older people in a rural area of Japan. The participants were 133 older individuals aged 65 years or above. Data collection was conducted via face‐to‐face interviews using self‐administered questionnaires. Background information, such as age, sex, current employment status, family structure, medication use, comorbidities, and knee and lower back pain, were assessed. The definition of frailty was based on the Frailty Checklist. Self‐care agency, lifestyle habits, and locomotive syndrome were assessed using specific assessment scores. Logistic regression analysis showed that locomotive syndrome, knee and lower back pain, and stroke are risk factors for frailty. Among the factors associated with frailty, current employment, regular exercise, and self‐care agency were recognized as preventive factors of depression, decreased cognitive function, and being housebound. Our findings suggest that enhancing self‐care agency, regular exercise, and self‐management skills for chronic illness and disability may decrease the progression of frailty among older people.
