Age, chronic disease, TUG and CNAQ were significantly associated with cognitive frailty and cognitive frailty-related falls. The TUG and CNAQ have the greatest potential for improvement by intervention or lifestyle change. Further research is necessary to determine the efficacy of positive changes in these factors for symptomatic improvements. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2019; 19: 647-653.
