OBJECTIVES: While several biomarkers were previously associated with frailty and mortality, data are still contradicting. We aimed to evaluate the association between novel biomarkers and frailty among community-dwelling older adults to enhance understanding of the pathophysiology of frailty.
METHODS: Nine hundred and sixty-three older adults were screened during the third phase (1999-2008) of the Israel study on Glucose Intolerance, Obesity, and Hypertension (GOH). Frailty was defined as sedentary individuals, past 10 years hospitalizations, or at least one of the following: body mass index (BMI) <21 kg/m2; albumin <3.2 g/dl; ≥2 major baseline diseases. Biomarkers were evaluated for their association with frailty, all-cause, and cardiovascular mortality.
RESULTS: Mean baseline age was 72 ± 7 years, 471 (49%) were women, and 195 (20%) were classified as frail. Median follow-up for cardiovascular and all-cause mortality was 11 and 13 years, with 179 (18.6%) and 466 (48.4%) deaths recorded, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression showed greater odds for frailty with lower quartile of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (OR = 1.8, 95%CI: 1.2-2.8, p = 0.01), and for each 5 µmol/L increment in homocysteine levels (OR = 1.3, 95%CI: 1.1-1.5, p = 0.001). Multivariate Cox regression showed greater all-cause and cardiovascular mortality risk for individuals with low ALT (HR = 1.6, 95%CI: 1.3-2.0, p < 0.001 and HR = 1.5, 95% CI: 1.0-2.2, p = 0.03, respectively), and high homocysteine (HR = 1.1, 95%CI: 1.1-1.3, p = 0.003 and HR = 1.2, 95%CI: 1.0-1.3, p = 0.04, respectively). Homocysteine association with mortality was more pronounced in those with baseline ischemic heart disease (IHD) compared with subjects free of IHD (P for interaction = 0.01).
CONCLUSIONS: Lower ALT and higher homocysteine were associated with frailty, all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. These available and low-cost biomarkers underscore the nutritional and metabolic aspects of frailty when screening high-risk older adults, especially those with IHD, and may be considered as preferable screening biomarkers to be tested among these individuals for frailty and mortality risk.
