Frailty: An Emerging Research and Clinical Paradigm—Issues and Controversies
Howard Bergman,L. Ferrucci,Jack M. Guralnik,David B. Hogan,Silvia Hummel,Sathya Karunananthan,Christina Wolfson +6 more
TL;DR: The 2006 Second International Working Meeting on Frailty and Aging as mentioned in this paper discussed the distinction between frailty and aging, its relationship with chronic disease, and the critical domains in its operational definition.
Journal ArticleDOI
A reevaluation of the duration of survival after the onset of dementia
Christina Wolfson,David B. Wolfson,Masoud Asgharian,C E M'Lan,Truls Østbye,Kenneth Rockwood,David B. Hogan +6 more
TL;DR: Median survival after the onset of dementia is much shorter than has previously been estimated; the estimate was adjusted for length bias.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence, Attributes, and Outcomes of Fitness and Frailty in Community-Dwelling Older Adults: Report From the Canadian Study of Health and Aging
Kenneth Rockwood,Susan E. Howlett,Chris MacKnight,B. Lynn Beattie,Howard Bergman,Réjean Hébert,David B. Hogan,Christina Wolfson,Ian McDowell +8 more
TL;DR: Fitness and frailty form a continuum and predict survival, even in old age, and are potentially useful markers of the risk for adverse health outcomes, and add value to traditional medical assessments that focus on diagnoses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of lipid-lowering agents, indication bias, and the risk of dementia in community-dwelling elderly people.
Kenneth Rockwood,Susan Kirkland,David B. Hogan,Chris MacKnight,Heather R. Merry,René Verreault,Christina Wolfson,Ian McDowell +7 more
TL;DR: Lipid-lowering agent use was associated with a lower risk of dementia, and specifically of Alzheimer disease, in those younger than 80 years, an effect that persisted after adjustment for sex, educational level, and self-rated health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Imaging axonal damage of normal-appearing white matter in multiple sclerosis.
L. Fu,Paul M. Matthews,N. De Stefano,Keith J. Worsley,Sridar Narayanan,Gordon S. Francis,Jack P. Antel,Christina Wolfson,Douglas L. Arnold +8 more
TL;DR: Results add to data suggesting that axonal damage or loss may be responsible for functional impairments in multiple sclerosis, and may be of particular significance for understanding chronic disability in this disease.
