Prevalence and factors associated with frailty and pre-frailty in the older adults in China: a national cross-sectional study.

Objective: Frailty increases poor clinical outcomes in older adults, the aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and factors associated with frailty and pre-frailty in older adults in China.

Research Design And Methods: Data were obtained from the Sample Survey of the Aged Population in Urban and Rural China in 2015, which was a cross-sectional study involving a nationally representative sample of older adults aged 60 years or older from 31 provinces/autonomous regions/municipalities in mainland China. The frailty index (FI) based on 33 potential deficits was used to classify individuals as robust (FI < 0.

Prevalence of frailty and pre-frailty and related factors in older adults with cardio-cerebral vascular disease in China: a national cross-sectional study.

Objective: Frailty increases adverse clinical outcomes in older patients with cardio-cerebral vascular disease (CCVD). The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of frailty and pre-frailty in older adults with CCVD in China and the factors associated with it.

Research Design And Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we used data from the fourth Sample Survey of Aged Population in Urban and Rural China.

Epidemiological status and associated factors of frailty and pre-frailty in older adults with asthma in China: A national cross-sectional study.

Objective: There are few studies on the prevalence and factors associated with frailty and pre-frailty in older adults with asthma worldwide. The aim of this study was to examine the epidemiological status and factors associated with frailty and pre-frailty in older adults with asthma in China.

Research Design And Methods: Data were obtained from the Sample Survey of Aged Population in Urban and Rural China in 2015, a nationwide cross-sectional survey covering 224,142 older people aged 60 years or older in 31 provinces/autonomous regions/municipalities in mainland China.

A study on the prevalence and related factors of frailty and pre-frailty in the older population with hypertension in China: A national cross-sectional study.

Objective: To explore the prevalence and factors associated with frailty and pre-frailty in elderly Chinese patients with hypertension.

Background: In China, there have been few national studies into the prevalence and factors associated with frailty and pre-frailty in elderly patients with hypertension.

Methods: Through the 4th Sample Survey of Aged Population in Urban and Rural China (SSAPUR) in 2015, the situation of hypertension subjects aged 60 years or older in 31 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities in mainland China was obtained.

[Reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate and proteinuria are associated with increased cardiovascular events rate in octogenarian population].

Objective: To determine the relationship between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and proteinuria with cardiovascular events in subjects aged 80 years or older.

Methods: Data for this retrospective prognostic study were drawn from the patient database for routine checkup in Beijing hospital between January 2001 to December 2001. Baseline eGFR and proteinuria were evaluated in 340 subjects [mean age: (85.

Clinical characteristics and prognosis of heart failure with normal left ventricular ejection fraction in elderly patients.

Background: The term heart failure with normal ejection fraction (HFNEF) is often used to describe the syndrome of heart failure with normal ejection fraction. Based on the previous studies, HFNEF has a significant morbidity and mortality and is associated with a similar prognosis to heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFREF). The present study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of HFNEF in elderly patients.

[Prognostic value of adenosine triphosphate myocardial perfusion tomography in octogenarians.].

Objective: To evaluate the prognostic value of (99m)Tc-MIBI myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (MPS) with adenosine triphosphate in patients aged 80 years or older.

Methods: A total of 265 patients [mean age (84.2 +/- 3.

[Value of the electrocardiographic Cornell criteria for detecting left ventricular hypertrophy in elderly men].

Objective: To explore the value of electrocardiographic (ECG) Cornell criteria for detecting left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in elderly Chinese men.

Methods: Since 1990, 244 autopsies were performed in our hospital in elderly men, LVH was determined in these autopsy hearts and correlated to ECG LVH signs recorded within 3 months before death according to Cornell (SV3+RaVL) and Sokolow-Lyon criteria (SV1+RV5 or RV6). The reference value of Cornell criteria was obtained based on values from autopsied healthy hearts, the sensitivity and specificity of Cornell and Sokolow-Lyon criteria for detecting left ventricular hypertrophy in these elderly men were calculated.
