Linda P. Fried,Catherine M. Tangen,Jeremy D. Walston,Anne B. Newman,Calvin H. Hirsch,John S. Gottdiener,Teresa E. Seeman,Russell P. Tracy,Willem J. Kop,B Gregory Burke,Mary Ann McBurnie +10 more
TL;DR: This study provides a potential standardized definition for frailty in community-dwelling older adults and offers concurrent and predictive validity for the definition, and finds that there is an intermediate stage identifying those at high risk of frailty.
Journal ArticleDOI
International variation in the prevalence of COPD (The BOLD Study): a population-based prevalence study
A. Sonia Buist,Mary Ann McBurnie,William M. Vollmer,Suzanne Gillespie,Peter Burney,David M. Mannino,Ana Maria Menezes,Sean D. Sullivan,Todd A. Lee,Kevin B. Weiss,Robert L. Jensen,Guy B. Marks,Amund Gulsvik,Ewa Nizankowska-Mogilnicka +13 more
TL;DR: This worldwide study showed higher levels and more advanced staging of spirometrically confirmed COPD than have typically been reported and variations in disease prevalence-other factors also seem to be important.
Journal ArticleDOI
Frailty and Activation of the Inflammation and Coagulation Systems With and Without Clinical Comorbidities Results From the Cardiovascular Health Study
Jeremy D. Walston,Mary Ann McBurnie,Anne B. Newman,Russell P. Tracy,Willem J. Kop,Calvin H. Hirsch,John S. Gottdiener,Linda P. Fried +7 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that there is a specific physiological basis to the geriatric syndrome of frailty that is characterized in part by increased inflammation and elevated markers of blood clotting is supported and that these physiological differences persist when those with diabetes and cardiovascular disease are excluded.
Journal ArticleDOI
Associations of Subclinical Cardiovascular Disease With Frailty
Anne B. Newman,John S. Gottdiener,Mary Ann McBurnie,Calvin H. Hirsch,Willem J. Kop,Russell P. Tracy,Jeremy D. Walston,Linda Fried +7 more
TL;DR: Cardiovascular disease was associated with an increased likelihood of frail health and infarct-like lesions in the brain on magnet resonance imaging were related to frailty as well.
Journal ArticleDOI
The 6-min Walk Test: A Quick Measure of Functional Status in Elderly Adults
Paul L. Enright,Mary Ann McBurnie,Vera Bittner,Russell P. Tracy,Robert M. McNamara,Alice M. Arnold,Anne B. Newman +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the standardized 6-min walk test (6MWT) to measure the impact of multiple comorbidities, including cardiovascular disease, lung disease, arthritis, diabetes and cognitive dysfunction and depression, on exercise capacity and endurance in older adults.
