Core Tip	Cognitive frailty is a concept describing a condition in older adults characterized by the simultaneous presence of physical frailty and cognitive impairment. This prodromal stage of dementia refers to the early phase where subtle cognitive changes are evident, but not yet meeting the criteria for a full diagnosis. Cardiovascular risk factors, e.g., hypertension, diabetes and high cholesterol, play a significant role in this stage. They contribute to vascular damage and compromise blood flow to the brain, increasing the risk of cognitive decline. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationships between cardiovascular risk factors and older persons with cognitive frailty.
