...Xin Xia; Zhongli Yang; Zhigang Xu; Jingyi Tang; Gongchang Zhang; Birong Dong; Xiaolei Liu Introduction: Although the relationship between the number of teeth and frailty has been extensively studied, the mediating role of nutrition status in the association between the number of teeth and frailty...

... (MCI), its association with cognitive frailty (CF), a comorbidity of both, is unclear. This study aims to examine the association between CF and arterial stiffness in community-dwelling older adults. Methods: A cross-sectional analysis of 511 community-dwelling older adults aged 65 years or older (mean...

... of organ dysfunction scores of both acute conditions (e.g., sequential organ failure assessment [SOFA] score) and chronic health issues (e.g., clinical frailty scale [CFS]). Recent work suggests that increased CFS is associated with a worse outcome in elderly major trauma patients. We aimed to test whether...

... worldwide and typically tends to manifest at an older age. Marked heterogeneity in time-dependent functional decline in older adults results in varying grades of clinically manifest patient fitness or frailty. The biological age-related adaptations that accompany functional decline have been shown...

...Mitsutoshi Oguri; Hideki Ishii; Rin Fujita; Hiroshi Takahashi; Toyoaki Murohara Introduction: We aimed to investigate the prognostic impact of frailty (defined by the Study of Osteoporotic Fracture [SOF] index and the Clinical Frailty Scale [CFS]) in hospitalized patients with acute decompensated...

... to accelerate the evolution of each other by representing a common pathway toward frailty. Objectives: The objective of the study was to investigate the association of the pentagon-copying task with physical and motor performances and with frailty, in a sample of older adults. Method: This observational, cross...

...Ge Bai; Yunzhang Wang; Jonathan K.L. Mak; Malin Ericsson; Sara Hägg; Juulia Jylhävä Introduction: Although frailty is commonly considered as a syndrome of old individuals, recent studies show that it can affect younger adults, too. Whether and how frailty differs in younger adults compared to old...

.... Of these, 2,450 (75–79 years: 1,238, 80–84 years: 861, 85–89 years: 351) died over the 15-year study period. Hazard ratios for death in frailty as determined by the t-KCL score were 1.337 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.162–1.540) for the pre-frail group and 2.012 (95% CI, 1.7756–2.305) for the frail group at 75...

...Danya Pradeep Kumar; Bijan Najafi; Kaveh Laksari; Nima Toosizadeh Introduction: Frailty is a common geriatric syndrome associated with decline in physiological reserve. While several digital biomarkers of daily physical activity (DPA) have been used in frailty assessment, the association between...

..., and frailty indexes with multimorbidity onset and progression and their predictions of multimorbidity-associated mortality risk. Methods: A prospective cohort study (Singapore Longitudinal Aging Study [SLAS]) of 5,089 community-dwelling older adults aged ≥55 years in two waves of recruitment (SLAS-1: March...

...; Dorota Religa; Juulia Jylhävä Introduction: Frailty, a measure of biological aging, has been linked to worse COVID-19 outcomes. However, as the mortality differs across the COVID-19 waves, it is less clear whether a medical record-based electronic frailty index (eFI) that we have previously developed...

...Jesús del Pozo-Cruz; Borja del Pozo Cruz; Miguel Á. Perez-Sousa; Rosa M.

Methods: This prospective...

... such as comorbidities, frailty, body mass index, and some hemochemical parameters. Results: Centenarians had normal body mass indexes, relatively good health status, and 21.95% of them had no comorbidities; 53.6% were classified as frail, and 7% were classified as robust. In addition, 17% of centenarians were...
