An Easy Assessment of Frailty at Baseline Independently Predicts Prognosis in Very Elderly Patients With Acute Coronary Syndromes
Information about the impact of frailty in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) is scarce. No study has assessed the prognostic impact of frailty as measured by the FRAIL scale in very elderly patients with ACS.

Frailty in Hospitalized Older Adults: Comparing Different Frailty Measures in Predicting Short- and Long-term Patient Outcomes
Data for the assessment of frailty in acutely ill hospitalized older adults remains limited. Using the Frailty Index (FI) as “gold standard,” we compared (1) the diagnostic performance of 3 frailty measures (FRAIL, Clinical Frailty Scale [CFS], and Tilburg Frailty Indicator [TFI]) in identifying frailty, a...

Association Between Sodium Excretion and Cardiovascular Disease and Mortality in the Elderly: A Cohort Study
High dietary sodium intake is a risk factor for cardiovascular events and death. Recently, a J-shaped correlation between sodium intake and adverse outcomes has been shown. The evidence on the association between sodium intake and cardiovascular outcomes in the elderly is scant. The objective of this study...
