description
Older adults who are physically frail have poorer cognition compared to their robust peers. The mechanisms behind this association have yet to be established. Recent research has suggested that self-perceptions of aging are important predictors of physical and cognitive function in later life. This paper investigated whether self-perceptions of aging modify the relationship between frailty and cognitive function.
