2026-07-30
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Age-related decline in kidney function is associated with adverse geriatric outcomes such as cognitive impairment, falls, and sarcopenia. In older adults, creatinine-based estimates of glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) may underestimate renal impairment due to reduced muscle mass, whereas cystatin C (CysC) may better capture functional vulnerability. Evidence from Latin Amer...
