BACKGROUND: The association between frailty and adverse outcomes has been clearly defined. Frailty is associated with age, but different frailty evolution patterns might determine the incidence of adverse outcomes at older ages. So far, few observational studies have examined how distinct frailty tr...

BACKGROUND: Frailty and sarcopenia are age-associated syndromes that have been associated with the risk of several adverse events, mainly functional decline and death, that usually coexist.

BACKGROUND: β-Hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (HMB) is a bioactive metabolite formed from the breakdown of leucine, which increases muscle protein synthesis and reduces muscle breakdown. Previous studies have shown an inverse association between HMB levels and frailty in older adults. This study aims to as...
