BACKGROUND: Frailty and multimorbidity have been suggested as risk factors for
severe COVID-19 disease. AIMS: We investigated, in the UK Biobank, whether
frailty and multimorbidity were associated with risk of hospitalisation with
COVID-19. METHODS: 502,640 participants aged 40-69 years at baseline (54-79 years
at COVID-19 testing) were recruited across UK during 2006-10. A modified
assessment of frailty using Fried's classification was generated from baseline
data. COVID-19 test results (England) were available for 16/03/2020-01/06/2020,
mostly taken in hospital settings. Logistic regression was used to discern
associations between frailty, multimorbidity and COVID-19 diagnoses, after
adjusting for sex, age, BMI, ethnicity, education, smoking and number of
comorbidity groupings, comparing COVID-19 positive, COVID-19 negative and
non-tested groups. RESULTS: 4510 participants were tested for COVID-19
(positive?=?1326, negative?=?3184). 497,996 participants were not tested.
Compared to the non-tested group, after adjustment, COVID-19 positive
participants were more likely to be frail (OR?=?1.4 [95%CI?=?1.1, 1.8]), report
slow walking speed (OR?=?1.3 [1.1, 1.6]), report two or more falls in the past
year (OR?=?1.3 [1.0, 1.5]) and be multimorbid (??4 comorbidity groupings vs 0-1:
OR?=?1.9 [1.5, 2.3]). However, similar strength of associations were apparent
when comparing COVID-19 negative and non-tested groups. However, frailty and
multimorbidity were not associated with COVID-19 diagnoses, when comparing
COVID-19 positive and COVID-19 negative participants. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
Frailty and multimorbidity do not appear to aid risk stratification, in terms of
positive versus negative results of COVID-19 testing. Investigation of the
prognostic value of these markers for adverse clinical sequelae following
COVID-19 disease is urgently needed.
