Abstract

Cognitive frailty (CF) is the coexistence of physical frailty and cognitive impairment. Transition to institutional care (TIC) refers to the move from home to a long‐term care institution and represents a major change in living arrangement and care needs among older adults. Both CF and TIC are pressing challenges in ageing populations; however, evidence on their association remains limited.
