This study examines the relationship between frailty and caregiving burden across two geographical settings in China and the USA.

The increase in total hours of help received is driven by increases in unpaid help as well as help from family members. Through our findings, policymakers should consider that frailty primarily burdens familial caregivers, and that frailty has an economic cost beyond just healthcare costs. |
