Associations Between Deficit Accumulation Frailty and Baseline Markers of Lifestyle in the US POINTER Trial.

Background: Multidomain lifestyle interventions may have the potential to slow biological aging as captured by deficit accumulation frailty indices. We describe the distribution and composition of the 49-component frailty index (FI) developed by the U.S.

Behavioral weight loss interventions in college health centers: A qualitative analysis of barriers and facilitators to implementation.

Background: Emerging adults are underrepresented in standard behavioral weight loss interventions (BWLIs).
