Changes in frailty status in a community-dwelling cohort of older adults: the VERISAÚDE study
(Elsevier, 2018-11-15)[Abstract] Objectives: Greater understanding of changes in the degree of frailty is important for clarifying the natural history of frailty and may help clinical decision-making regarding preventive interventions. The ... -
Clinical and neuropsychological correlates of prefrailty syndrome
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2020-11-09)[Abstract] Physical frailty is closely associated with cognitive impairment. We aim to investigate the neuropsychological profiles of prefrail and non-frail dementia-free community-dwelling older adults using a comprehensive ... -
Cognitive frailty: a conceptual systematic review and an operational proposal for future research
(Elsevier, 2018-12-07)[Abstract] Objective. To analyze the definition of “cognitive frailty” and to study the conceptual and operational definitions used and their implications for empirical research. The relationships between this concept and ... -
Determinants of quality of life in pre-frail older adults according to phenotypic criteria: the VERISAUDE Study
(Springer para The International Society for Quality-of-Life Studies (ISQOLS), 2017-02-04)[Abstract] Frailty is a dynamic clinical syndrome considered as part of an age-associated continuum of severity, including pre-frailty as an intermediate frailty status with potential reversibility to robustness. The main ... -
Dual and triple tasks performance in institutionalized prefrail and frail older adults
(Willey, 2020-07-13)[Abstract] Objective: The aim of this pilot study was to investigate differences on dual- and triple-task performance in institutionalized prefrail and frail older adults. Performance on these tasks is relevant since ... -

Effects of degree of urbanization and lifetime longest-held occupation on cognitive impairment prevalence in an older spanish population
(Frontiers, 2017-02-13)[Abstract] Our aim was to estimate the prevalence of cognitive impairment in rural and urban elderly populations and to examine the relationship between lifetime occupation and general cognitive performance. A cross-sectional ... -
Exploring genetic outcomes as frailty biomakers
(Oxford, 2018-04-19)[Abstract] Frailty has emerged as a reliable measure of the aging process. Because the early detection of frailty is crucial to prevent or even revert it, the use of biomarkers would allow an earlier and more objective ... -
