Biomarker Signatures of Two Phenotypical Pre-Frailty Types in The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing
(2022)Abstract: We investigated the biomarker signatures of two previously reported phenotypical prefrailty (PF) types in the first wave of The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA): PF1 (unexplained weight loss and/or ... -
Interrupting Bedtime to Reverse Frailty Levels in Acute Care: A Study Protocol for the Breaking Bad Rest Randomized Controlled Trial
(2023)Background Hospitalized older patients spend most of the waking hours in bed, even if they can walk independently. Excessive bedrest contributes to the development of frailty and worse hospital outcomes. We describe the ... -
One-dimensional statistical parametric mapping identifies impaired orthostatic cerebrovascular and cardiovascular response in frailty index
(2020)Background: Orthostasis is a potent physiological stressor which adapts with age. The age-related accumulation of health deficits in multiple physiological systems may impair the physiological response to orthostasis ... -
Transitions between degrees of multidimensional frailty among older people admitted to intermediate care: a multicentre prospective study
(2022)Background: Frailty is a dynamic condition that is clinically expected to change in older individuals during and around admission to an intermediate care (IC) facility. We aimed to characterize transitions between degrees ...
