Introduction: The objective was to examine the prevalence of anemia according to the state of frailty and to analyze the relationship between anemia, hemoglobin concentration and frailty in a cohort of Spanish older adults.
Material And Methods: Cross-sectional substudy of the FRADEA (Frailty and Dependency in Albacete) cohort, a population-based concurrent cohort study conducted in people older than 69 years of Albacete (Spain). Of the 993 participants included in the first wave, 790 were selected with valid data on anemia and frailty.
Objective: To analyze if anemia increases 10-year mortality risk associated to frailty and disability in older adults.
Design: Substudy of the FRADEA population-based concurrent cohort study (Frailty and dependence in Albacete), with a 10-year follow-up (2007-2017) in people older than 69years.
Setting: Albacete city, Spain.
Objective: To determine the normal values of some of the functional assessment tools most used in Spain.
Design: Cross-sectional study of the first cut of a concurrent population based cohort.
Setting: Albacete city Health Area.
Objective: To obtain a cohort of subjects of equal to or greater than 70 years, representative of a Spanish urban population, to estimate the prevalence of frailty and follow it up over time to analyse associated factors.
Material And Methods: A prospective, population-based cohort study. From a population of 18,137 elderly persons, a representative sample of 1172 was randomly stratified, of which 993 (84.
