The y-axis shows frailty index percentages ranging from 10% to 35% in increments of 5%. The x-axis displays ages from 51 to 90, with markers every three years. Three trend lines show frailty progression by race/ethnicity, with their corresponding values: "Black": starts at ~14% at age 51, rising steadily to ~33% by age 90 "Hispanic": begins at ~12.5% at age 51, increasing to ~30% by age 90 "White": begins at ~10.5% at age 51, climbing to ~29% by age 90 A annotation shows that "At age 55, the average frailty for Black men is the same as that of White men who are 13 years older," with a visual connection between these points. A note on the figure reads, "Frailty index is defined as the fraction of a set of potential health deficits reported by the respondent."

These health deficits include medical conditions, such as diabetes and cancer diagnoses, as well as difficulties with daily living activities such as eating, paying bills, walking up stairs, and healthcare utilization. They find that while both measures of health are highly predictive of key economic outcomes, frailty is marginally more so. It also has the advantage of offering a quantitative interpretation. </p><p>Using frailty to measure health inequality by race, ethnicity, and gender, the researchers report three findings. First, there is substantial health inequality by race, ethnicity, and gender. At age 55, Black men and women have frailty levels, which could be viewed as “biological age,” comparable to those of White men and women 13 and 20 years older, respectively. Hispanic men and women exhibit frailty levels similar to those of White men and women 5 and 6 years older, respectively.</p><p>Second, most of the specific health deficits that together make up frailty are more prevalent among Black and Hispanic than White individuals, with the exception of deficits that require a medical diagnosis. The researchers impute medical diagnoses for Black and Hispanic individuals and conclude that there may be significant underdiagnosis, particularly among Black men. The most underreported deficit relative to their imputations is lung disease, while the least underreported is high blood pressure. The researchers compute a measure of “potential frailty” that accounts for potential underreporting and it suggests even larger gaps than the frailty measures based on actual reports. At age 55, Black men have the potential frailty of White men 21 years older, and Black women have the potential frailty of White women 25 years older.</p><p>Third, frailty at age 55 is a powerful determinant of health and economic inequality later in life. If Black individuals at age 55 had the health of their White peers, the life expectancy gap between these two groups would halve, and the gap in disability duration would decrease by more than 40 percent. These findings suggest that targeted health interventions for minority groups before middle age could substantially reduce disparities in the length and quality of life at older ages.</p><p class="text-align-right"><em>— Greta Gaffin</em></p><hr><p>The research reported herein was performed pursuant to grant RDR18000003 from the US Social Security Administration (SSA), funded as part of the Retirement and Disability Research Consortium.
