Journal ArticleDOI
Sarcopenia and mortality among a population-based sample of community-dwelling older adults.
TL;DR: Sarcopenia is a risk‐factor for all‐cause mortality among older adults, but it is unknown if sarcopenia predisposes older adults to specific causes of death and how this differs between males and females, and obese and non‐obese individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This conference achieved its intent to highlight the importance of frailty in organ transplantation and to plant the seeds for further discussion and research in this field.
Journal ArticleDOI
New Solutions to Reduce Discard of Kidneys Donated for Transplantation
TL;DR: This review examines the risks associated with accepting various categories of donated kidneys, including discarded kidneys, compared with the risk of remaining on dialysis and describes feasible proposals to increase acceptance of currently discarded organs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional Status, Time to Transplantation, and Survival Benefit of Kidney Transplantation Among Wait-Listed Candidates
Peter P. Reese,Justine Shults,Roy D. Bloom,Adam Mussell,Meera N. Harhay,Peter L. Abt,Matthew H. Levine,Kirsten L. Johansen,Jason Karlawish,Harold I. Feldman +9 more
TL;DR: Even patients with low function appear to live longer with kidney transplantation versus dialysis, and global health measures such as functional status may be more useful in counseling patients about the probability of transplantation than in identifying who will derive a survival benefit from it.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical function as a prognostic biomarker among cancer survivors
TL;DR: Objectively measured physical function may predict mortality among cancer survivors and among older adult cancer survivors.
