Paper

Abstract

Given that low-grade inflammation is implicated in the pathophysiology of age-related frailty, we tested the hypothesis that individual blood biomarkers are associated with the risk of developing frailty in later life.

Research summary

The paper claims that individual blood biomarkers are associated with the risk of developing frailty in later life. This research is relevant as it explores the relationship between low-grade inflammation and age-related frailty, which could contribute to understanding the biological mechanisms of aging.
