BACKGROUND Frail health in old age has been conceptualized as a loss of physiologic reserve associated with loss of lean mass, neuroendocrine dysregulation, and immune dysfunction. Little work has been done to define frailty and describe the underlying pathophysiology. METHODS Frailty status was defined in participants of the Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS), a cohort of 5,201 community-dwel...
متن کاملAssociations of kidney injury markers with subclinical cardiovascular disease: the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis.
Sir, – Novel urinary biomarkers have been found to indicate kidney tubular injury prior to a detectable rise in serum creatinine or decline in eGFR. These biomarkers may indicate chronic kidney tubular injury and progressive kidney disease [1, 2, 3].

متن کاملImportance of frailty in patients with cardiovascular disease.
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. With the ageing population, the prognostic determinants among others include frailty, health status, disability, and cognition. These constructs are seldom measured and factored into clinical decision-making or evaluation of the prognosis of these at-risk older adults, especially as it relates to high-risk interven...
متن کاملIs Subclinical Thyroid Dysfunction Associated With with Coronary Heart Disease?
Introduction: Previous cohort studies reported contradictory data on the association between subclinical thyroid dysfunction and coronary heart disease (CHD). Regarding this, the present study was conducted to illuminate this relationship. Materials and Methods: For the purpose of the study, 3,066 participants employed in a study conducted by Azizi et al. aged ≥ 20 years were subjected to thyro...
