Article Synopsis
- Contemporary guidelines recommend considering frailty in decisions about coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) due to its impact on patient outcomes.
- In a study of over 13,500 veterans undergoing CABG, frail patients had significantly higher five-year mortality rates compared to non-frail patients, with frailty impacting hospital recovery days.
- The findings highlight the importance of assessing frailty in CABG patients to better predict long-term outcomes and inform clinical decisions.
Introduction: Although stroke is an emerging cause of disability and mortality globally, associations between physical capability markers and mortality in stroke survivors are elusive. This study investigated the individual and combined associations of walking pace and grip strength with all-cause and stroke mortality in stroke survivors.
Methods: Individual and combined associations of walking pace and grip strength with stroke deaths and all-cause mortality were investigated using Cox proportional-hazard models adjusted for sociodemographic, lifestyle, and health-related variables.
Background: fragility is characterized by loss of biological reserves and vulnerability to adverse outcomes. An intervention with beneficial effects on the prevention and management of frailty is the regular practice of physical activity (PA). Objective: to determine the association between levels of PA, sedentary time and frailty in older Chileans by sex.
