Abstract

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (https://www.elsevier.com/about/our-business/policies/article-withdrawal). This article has been retracted at the request of the Editors-in-Chief. The authors have plagiarized part of a paper that had already appeared in Samper-Ternent R, Al Snih S, Raji MA, et al. Relationship Between Frailty and Cognitive Decline in Older Mexican Americans. J Am Geriatr Soc 2008; 56(10): 1845-1852. One of the conditions of submission of a paper for publication is that authors declare explicitly that their work is original and has not appeared in a publication elsewhere. Re-use of any data should be appropriately cited. As such this article represents a severe abuse of the scientific publishing system. The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and apologies are offered to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process.

Keywords: Cognitive frailty; Fried; cognitive impairment; frailty; motoric cognitive risk; older adults.
