Geriatric Frailty Is Associated With Oxidative Stress, Accumulation, and Defective Repair of DNA Double-Strand Breaks Independently of Age and Comorbidities
9 Oct 2022
Abstract excerpt
Defects in the DNA damage response and repair (DDR/R) network accumulate during the aging process. Physical frailty, a state of reduced physiological function and decreased resilience to biological stressors, is also exacerbated by aging, but its link with DDR/R aberrations beyond the effect of age and comorbidities is unclear. Fifty-three community-dwelling older adults, aged 65-102 years, who underwent frailty...
