Apolipoprotein E-polymorphism, frailty and mortality in older adults.

Journal of cellular and molecular medicine - 1 Dec 2008

Rockwood Kenneth, Nassar Bassam, Mitnitski Arnold

Abstract excerpt

Although apolipoprotein E (ApoE) polymorphism is associated with variable risks of several illnesses, and with mortality, no persuasive relationship has been demonstrated with frailty. Here, the clinical examination cohort (n=1452 older adults, aged 70+ years at baseline) of the Canadian Study of Health and Aging was evaluated, with 5-year follow-up data. Frailty was defined using both the phenotypic definition...
