Objective To investigate whether there is a mediating effect of cognitive function between social participation and frailty. Methods Using the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Survey (CHARLS) database, three rounds of survey data in 2011, 2013, and 2015 were selected for the study. The data in 2011 were the baseline data, and the ID number was used to match the participants in the follow-up in 2013 and 2015. A total of 3 139 people were enrolled in this cohort study. Cox regression model and simple mediating effect model were used to analyze the relationship among social participation, cognitive function, and frailty. Results A total of 259 patients had frailty during the follow-up period. The results of multivariate Cox regression model adjusting social demography and lifestyle showed that social participation (HR=0.641, 95%CI: 0.496-0.829)and cognitive function (HR=0.952, 95%CI: 0.928-0.977) were associated with frailty. The results of the intermediary model with relevant covariates showed that cognitive function has a significant mediating effect between social participation and frailty. Conclusion Social participation and cognitive function are associated with frailty, and cognitive function has some mediating effect between social participation and frailty.
