Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of frailty and social contact on cognitive decline among Chinese older patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), and examine the mediating role of social contact between frailty and cognitive decline. A total of 205 eligible participants were recruited from a tertiary A hospital in Anhui province, China. A structural equation modeling was conducted to test the hypothetical mediating model. Frailty and cognitive decline were significantly and negatively correlated with social contact. Meanwhile, frailty exerted a significant positive effect on cognitive decline. The indirect effect of frailty on the cognitive decline through social contact was 0.401. Social contact could exert a partial mediating effect on the relationship between frailty and cognitive decline in this population. These findings could help guide effective interventions to improve the cognitive abilities of AD patients, thereby reducing the burden of this population on their caregivers.
