Abstract: Objective To analyze the status of frailty in patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and its influencing factors in Luoyang region, to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of frailty. Methods From January 2020 to June 2022, a questionnaire survey was conducted among patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in 4 hospitals in Luoyang City, Henan Province, to obtain relevant data. The descriptive analysis method was used to analyze the frailty status of patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and univariate and multivariate analysis methods were used to analyze the influencing factors of frailty of patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Results In this study, a total of 3 375 patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases were analyzed, and 1 581 patients had different degrees of frailty, with an incidence rate of 46.84%. Among 1 581 patients with frailty, 1 075 cases were in the pre‐frailty stage, accounting for 67.99%, and 506 cases were in the frailty stage, accounting for 32.01%. The results of ordered multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that female (OR=1.606), aged 65 and over (OR=3.513, 6.201, 7.628), moderate to severe severity of major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (OR=1.491, 1.682), number of chronic diseases ≥ 1 (OR=1.406), living alone (OR=1.341), family per capita monthly income ≤ 5 000 yuan (OR=1.442, 1.301), smoking (OR=1.255, 1.593), drinking (OR=1.215, 1.649), irregular exercise (OR=1.360), insufficient sleep at night (OR=1.197), and poor nutritional status (OR=1.273) were independent influencing factors for frailty in patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Conclusions Nearly half of the patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in Luoyang region have frailty. Gender, age, severity of major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, number of chronic diseases, living conditions, family per capita monthly income, smoking, drinking, regular exercise status, night sleep status, and nutritional status are all important factors affecting frailty.
