Using Comprehensive Korean Frailty Instrument (CKFI), participants classified into robust, pre-frail, groups. Binominal logistic regression used. Analysis performed using SPSS 25. Three models set.

For all models, probability according Likelihood Ratio statistic value less than 0.01. p-value According z-statistics it confirmed Rheumatoid Arthritis/Osteoarthritis (16.17), hypertension (13.54), diabetes (13.14), lumbago (11.75), stroke (11.96) osteoporosis (OST) (10.92) affect 2). 2 RHE (12.45), DIA (10.82), high blood pressure (10.62), LUM (10.15) had effect 3). there no results with more 10. Though model significant, explanatory power low 4). Conclusion We significant correlation diseases. future, is necessary causal longitudinal studies.
