Abstract:
With the population aging, the prevalence of chronic kidney disease(CKD)is increasing.Frailty is a complex syndrome in the elderly.Elderly CKD patients have higher risks of frailty and cognitive impairment than the general elderly population.In recent years, the relationship between frailty and cognition has gradually attracted the attention of researchers at home and abroad.Cognitive frailty is regarded as a subtype of frailty and has become one of the research hotspots in the field of gerontology.However, there are few studies on the relationship between CKD and cognitive frailty in the elderly.This article reviews research progress on the topic, including the epidemiology, evaluation methods and possible pathogenesis of cognitive frailty in elderly CKD patients.
