Journal ArticleDOI
Racial variation in the relationship of anemia with mortality and mobility disability among older adults
Kushang V. Patel,Tamara B. Harris,Marion Faulhaber,Sara Angleman,Stephanie Connelly,Douglas C. Bauer,Lewis H. Kuller,Anne B. Newman,Jack M. Guralnik +8 more
TL;DR: In conclusion, anemia was significantly associated with increased risk of death and mobility disability in community-dwelling older whites, and older blacks classified as anemic by World Health Organization criteria were not at risk for adverse events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiology of balance and dizziness in a national population: findings from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing
TL;DR: The epidemiology of impaired balance differs from that of dizziness, and risk assessment approaches to prevent falls may need to elicit information on different problem-specific factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
A genome-wide association analysis of serum iron concentrations.
Toshiko Tanaka,Cindy N. Roy,Wenliang Yao,Amy M. Matteini,Richard D. Semba,Dan E. Arking,Jeremy D. Walston,Linda P. Fried,Andrew B. Singleton,Jack M. Guralnik,Gonçalo R. Abecasis,Stefania Bandinelli,Dan L. Longo,Luigi Ferrucci +13 more
TL;DR: The results confirm the association of TMPRSS6 variants with iron level and provide further evidence of association with other anemia-related phenotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unexplained anaemia in older persons is characterised by low erythropoietin and low levels of pro-inflammatory markers
Luigi Ferrucci,Jack M. Guralnik,Stefania Bandinelli,Richard D. Semba,Fulvio Lauretani,Annamaria Corsi,Carmelinda Ruggiero,William B. Ershler,Dan L. Longo +8 more
TL;DR: Unexplained anaemia is associated with reduced kidney EPO response, low levels of pro‐inflammatory markers and low lymphocyte counts, and Iron deficiency anaemia was characterised by significantly higher EPO levels compared with other types of anaemia and normal haemoglobin, B12 and/or folate deficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Educational Differences in the Prevalence of Mobility Disability in Old Age The Dynamics of Incidence, Mortality, and Recovery
TL;DR: Efforts to reduce the disparity in disability rates by socioeconomic status in old age should focus mainly on preventing disability, because differences in the course of mobility disability after onset appear to play a limited role in the observed prevalence disparities.
