Study Title
The Association between Circulating Cytokines and Body Composition in Frail Patients with Cardiovascular Disease
Key Findings
- Frail patients have significantly reduced fat-free mass and a higher prevalence of diabetes.
- Several cytokines, including FGF basic and follistatin, showed associations with frailty.
- Multiple cytokines were found to correlate with fat-free mass, a key indicator of frailty.
Practical Implications
- Identifying specific cytokines associated with frailty could lead to targeted interventions for improving body composition in frail patients.
- Understanding the role of cytokines in frailty may provide insights for developing new treatments and interventions for cardiovascular disease in the aging population.
Value
- Insights from this study could contribute to the development of personalized therapies for frail patients with cardiovascular disease.
- Understanding the relationship between cytokines and body composition may lead to improved management and outcomes for frail individuals.
