Type 2 diabetes in octogenarians is associated with decreased low molecular weight adiponectin.
BACKGROUND Adiponectin circulates in the blood in three different multimer isoforms, of which the high molecular weight form (HMW) is presumed to mediate insulin sensitivity. We examined whether adiponectin oligomer distribution is associated with aging and type 2 diabetes (T2D) in octogenarians without characteristic features of metabolic syndrome. METHODS The study included 154 octogenarian...

Very elderly patients have higher mortality rates than younger patients after acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, the mechanism by which increasing age contributes to such mortality remains unclear. In addition, the efficacy and safety of invasive coronary procedures for octogenarians with ACS have not been well established. We compared the clinical characteristics and in-hospital outcome o...

متن کاملMajor abdominal surgery in octogenarians: should high age affect surgical decision-making?
BACKGROUND Over the last decades longevity has increased significantly, with more octogenarians undergoing surgery. Here, we assess surgical outcomes after major abdominal surgery in octogenarians. METHODS Observational cohort of 874 patients undergoing major abdominal elective surgery between January 2009 and March 2014. Seventy-six octogenarians were propensity matched to 76 younger patient...
متن کاملAssociation between older age and outcome after cardiac surgery: a population-based cohort study
