Association between physical activity level and frailty status among community-dwelling older adults with multimorbidity: a cross-sectional study.

Among community-dwelling older adults with multimorbidity, higher physical activity levels were cross-sectionally associated with lower frailty status.

Overall physical activity level may better reflect current frailty status than single exercise components.

These findings support the value of promoting overall physical activity in community health management, but longitudinal studies are needed to determine whether increasing physical activity can prevent frailty onset or slow frailty progression.
