    • Exploring genetic outcomes as frailty biomakers 

      Valdiglesias, Vanessa; Sánchez-Flores, María; Marcos-Pérez, Diego; Lorenzo-López, Laura; Maseda, Ana; Millán-Calenti, José Carlos; Pásaro, Eduardo; Laffon, Blanca (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 ...
    • Frailty in older adults Is associated with plasma concentrations of inflammatory mediators but not with lymphocyte subpopulations 

      Marcos-Pérez, Diego; Sánchez-Flores, María; Maseda, Ana; Lorenzo-López, Laura; Millán-Calenti, José Carlos; Gostner, Johanna; Fuchs, Dietmar; Pásaro, Eduardo; Laffon, Blanca; Valdiglesias, Vanessa (Frontiers, 2018-05-16)
      [Abstract] Frailty denotes a multidimensional syndrome that gives rise to vulnerability to stressors and leads to an increase of the age-related decline of different physiological systems and cognitive abilities. Aging-related ...
