Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Cortisol levels increase with age and hypercortisolism is associated with muscle weakness. This study examines the relationship between cortisol, muscle mass and muscle strength in community-dwelling older persons and the role of genetic variations in the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). DESIGN/PATIENTS: The study was conducted within the Longitudinal Ageing Study Amsterdam (LASA, 1992-ongoing), a cohort...
