Trajectories of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate predict mortality in older adults: the cardiovascular health study.
BACKGROUND Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) has been proposed as an antiaging hormone, but its importance is unclear. Assessment of an individual's ability to maintain a DHEAS set point, through examination of multiple DHEAS levels over time, may provide insight into biologic aging. METHODS Using Cox proportional hazard models, we examined the relationship between DHEAS trajectory patte...
متن کاملLow serum levels of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate predict all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in elderly Swedish men.
CONTEXT The age-related decline in dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) levels is thought to be of importance for general and vascular aging. However, data on the association between DHEA and mortality are conflicting. OBJECTIVES We tested the hypothesis that low serum DHEA and DHEA sulfate (DHEA-S) levels predict all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) death in elderly men. DESIGN, SETTING, AN...
متن کاملDepressive symptoms, physical inactivity and risk of cardiovascular mortality in older adults: the Cardiovascular Health Study
BACKGROUND Depressed older individuals have a higher mortality than older persons without depression. Depression is associated with physical inactivity, and low levels of physical activity have been shown in some cohorts to be a partial mediator of the relationship between depression and cardiovascular events and mortality. METHODS A cohort of 5888 individuals (mean 72.8 ± 5.6 years, 58% fema...

متن کاملMortality in Pharmacologically Treated Older Adults with Diabetes: The Cardiovascular Health Study, 1989–2001
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus (DM) confers an increased risk of mortality in young and middle-aged individuals and in women. It is uncertain, however, whether excess DM mortality continues beyond age 75 years, is related to type of hypoglycemic therapy, and whether women continue to be disproportionately affected by DM into older age. METHODS AND FINDINGS From the Cardiovascular Health Study, ...
