ObjectiveCognitive frailty refers to cognitive impairment and physical frailty. Both cognitive impairment and physical frailty include risks of falling. The purpose of the study is to examine cognitive frailty and falling with/without a fracture.DesignCross-sectional observation study.SettingGeneral communities in Japan.ParticipantsData of 10,202 older adults aged 65 years were collected.MeasurementsPhysical frailty was characterized as slow walking speed and/or muscle weakness. Assessment of cognitive function included word lists memory, attention, executive function, and processing speed. Cognitive impairment refers to one or more cognitive decline indicated by at least 1.5 standard deviations below the threshold after adjusting for age and education. We operationally defined cognitive frailty as having both cognitive impairment and physical frailty. Participants were interviewed about their falling, history of fall-related fractures, and several potentially confounding factors such as demographic characteristics.ResultsMultinomial logistic regression analysis revealed that functional decline in all groups, as compared to the robust group, was significantly associated with falling without fractures, after adjusting for the covariates; cognitive impairment group (P =.017), physical frailty group (P =.002), and cognitive frailty group (P
