Predicting mortality and hospitalization of older adults by the multimorbidity frailty index
BACKGROUND Existing operational definitions of frailty are personnel-costly and time-consuming, resulting in estimates with a small sample size that cannot be generalized to the population level. The objectives were to develop a multimorbidity frailty index using Taiwan's claim database, and to understand its ability to predict adverse event. METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study. Subj...
متن کاملValidation of the FNIH sarcopenia criteria and SOF frailty index as predictors of long-term mortality in ambulatory older men.
OBJECTIVE we aimed to evaluate the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH) criteria for weakness and low muscle mass and the Study of Osteoporotic Fractures (SOF) frailty index for prediction of long-term, all-cause mortality. DESIGN community-based cohort study. SETTING semi-rural community of Merelbeke (Belgium). SUBJECTS ambulatory men aged 74 and more (n = 191). METH...
متن کاملLuteinizing hormone and different genetic variants, as indicators of frailty in healthy elderly men.
We investigated the possible clinical correlates between the serum LH concentration and characteristics of frailty and determined the presence and concentration of a genetic LH variant in an independently living population of elderly men. After exclusion of subjects with severe mobility problems and signs of dementia, 403 healthy men (aged 73-94 yr) were randomly selected from a population-base...
متن کاملMultimorbidity, disability, and mortality in community-dwelling older adults.
OBJECTIVE To describe factors associated with multimorbidity in community-dwelling older adults; to determine if a simple measure of multimorbidity predicts death over 5 years; and to assess if any effect of multimorbidity on mortality is independent of key covariates. DESIGN Analysis of an existing population-based cohort study. Cox proportional hazards models were constructed for time to de...
متن کاملCholesterol fractions and apolipoproteins as risk factors for heart disease mortality in older men.
BACKGROUND The relevance of blood lipid levels as risk factors for ischemic heart disease (IHD) in older people is uncertain; hence, cholesterol-lowering therapy is not routinely prescribed in older populations. METHODS We assessed IHD mortality associations with plasma levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, apolipoprotein B, an...
