Evolving definitions of frailty, and improved understanding of molecular and physiological declines in multiple systems that may increase vulnerability in frail, older adults ha...
Weight Change in Old Age and its Association with Mortality
OBJECTIVES: Previous studies of weight change and mortality in older adults have relied on self‐reported weight loss, have not evaluated weight gain, or have had limited informa...
Nonlinear Multisystem Physiological Dysregulation Associated With Frailty in Older Women: Implications for Etiology and Treatment
Overall, these findings indicate that the likelihood of frailty increases nonlinearly in relationship to the number of physiological systems abnormal, and the number of abnormal...
Impact of Anemia and Cardiovascular Disease on Frailty Status of Community-Dwelling Older Women: The Women's Health and Aging Studies I and II
In community-dwelling older women, mildly low and low-normal Hb levels were independently associated with increased frailty risk. This risk was synergistically modified by the p...
Designing Randomized, Controlled Trials Aimed at Preventing or Delaying Functional Decline and Disability in Frail, Older Persons: A Consensus Report
The discovery of effective interventions to prevent or delay disability in older persons is a public health priority. Most likely to benefit from such interventions are frail in...
