ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Accelerated biological ageing is a major underlying mechanism of frailty development. This study aimed to investigate if the biological age measured by a blood biochemistry-based ageing clock is associated with frailty in geriatric rehabilitation inpatients.METHODS:
Within the REStORing health of acutely unwell adulTs (RESORT) cohort, patients' biological age was measured by an ageing clock based on completed data of 30 routine blood test variables measured at rehabilitation admission. The delta of biological age minus chronological age (years) was calculated. Ordinal logistic regression and multinomial logistic regression were performed to evaluate the association of the delta of ages with frailty assessed by the Clinical Frailty Scale. Effect modification of Cumulative Illness Rating Scale (CIRS) score was tested.RESULTS:
A total of 1187 geriatric rehabilitation patients were included (median age 83.4 years, IQR 77.7-88.5; 57.4 % female). The biochemistry-based biological age was strongly correlated with chronological age (Spearman r = 0.883). After adjustment for age, sex and primary reasons for acute admission, higher biological age (per 1 year higher in delta of ages) was associated with more severe frailty at admission (OR 1.053, 95 % CI1.012-1.096) in patients who had a CIRS score of <12 not in patients with a CIRS score >12. The delta of ages was not associated with frailty change from admission to discharge. The specific frailty manifestations as cardiac, hematological, respiratory, renal, and endocrine conditions were associated with higher biological age.CONCLUSION:
Higher biological age was associated with severe frailty in geriatric rehabilitation inpatients with less comorbidity burden.Palavras-chave
