• Data on the association between frailty and SARS-CoV-2 infection is inconsistent. • There are no studies addressing if frail subjects are more prone to acquire SARS-CoV-2 infection. • We assessed the relationship between previously diagnosed frailty and SARS-CoV-2 in older adults. • Frailty does not predispose to SARS-CoV-2 infection in community-dwelling older adults. • Lack of confinement to retirement homes probably accounts for our findings.
• 关于衰弱与新型冠状病毒感染之间关联的数据并不一致。
• 尚无研究探讨衰弱个体是否更易感染新型冠状病毒。
• 我们评估了老年人中先前诊断的衰弱与新型冠状病毒之间的关系。
• 在社区居住的老年人中,衰弱并不会使他们更易感染新型冠状病毒。
• 未被限制在养老院中可能是我们这一研究结果的原因。
