Cluster means for each variable were standardized by calculating cohort means and standard deviations and converting the cluster means to z-scores. This standardization eliminated numerical differences between variables, facilitating comparisons. Radar charts display z-scores for each subtype, highlighting distinctive patterns across variables. a Subtype I, low GlycA and Val related frailty (LGVF); b Subtype II, high Alb and LA related frailty (HALF); c Subtype III, low Alb and LA related frailty (LALF); d Subtype IV, high GlycA and Val related frailty (HGVF); e Non-frail.
