OBJECTIVES To examine the capacity of existing cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk algorithms widely used in primary care, to predict frailty. DESIGN Prospective cohort study. Risk algorithms at baseline (1997-1999) were the Framingham CVD, coronary heart disease and stroke risk scores, and the Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation. SETTING Civil Service departments in London, UK. PARTICIPANTS 3895 participants (73% men) aged 45-69 years and free of CVD at baseline. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Status of frailty at the end of follow-up (2007-2009), based on the following indicators: self-reported exhaustion, low physical activity, slow walking speed, low grip strength and weight loss. RESULTS At the end of the follow-up, 2.8% (n=108) of the sample was classified as frail. All four CVD risk scores were associated with future risk of developing frailty, with ORs per one SD increment in the score ranging from 1.35 (95% CI 1.21 to 1.51) for the Framingham stroke score to 1.42 (1.23 to 1.62) for the Framingham CVD score. These associations remained after excluding incident CVD cases. For comparison, the corresponding ORs for the risk scores and incident cardiovascular events varied between 1.36 (1.15 to 1.61) and 1.64 (1.50 to 1.80) depending on the risk algorithm. CONCLUSIONS The use of CVD risk scores in clinical practice may also have utility for frailty prediction.

Can nutrient profiling help to identify foods which diet variety should be encouraged? Results from the Whitehall II cohort.

Higher variety of recommended foods, identified arbitrarily based on dietary guidelines, has been associated with better health status. Nutrient profiling is designed to identify objectively, based on nutrient content, healthier foods whose consumption should be encouraged. The objective was to assess the prospective associations between total food variety (food variety score, FVS) and variety ...
