Comparison of two different frailty metrics and associations with COVID-19: A bidirectional Mendelian randomization study

2023-08-03

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Several traditional observational studies suggested a strong association between frailty with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, whether the observed association reflects causality remained unclear. We employed a bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) study to investigate the causal relationship of frailty, measured by the Frailty Index and Fried Frailty Score, with COVID-19. M...
