Core Tip	Older adults' combined frailty and social isolation should be addressed to prevent adverse health outcomes. Social isolation is negatively associated with health literacy. Health literacy is associated with psychological distress in older adults. This study identified a mediating role of health literacy between social isolation and psychological distress among pre-frail older adults. It is significant to develop intervention programs to foster social connection as well as health literacy in the future for pre-frail older persons with psychological distress.
