Frailty syndrome: Visceral adipose tissue and frailty in patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis

Abstract

In patients with symptomatic severe AS, EATVi is associated with frailty, independently of age and gender, but not with MAFVi or VAFAi. Moreover, frailty and EATVi are associated with impaired cell membrane integrity and function assessed by PA.

Phase Angle and Frailty are Important Prognostic Factors in Critically Ill Medical Patients: A Prospective Cohort Study

“…An association between frailty and PhA values have been suggested in the general population and in patients with specific diseases (35)(36)(37)(38), but it has not been studied in the context of critical illness outcomes. In this study, PhA and KMBI measured at the admission to ICU showed positive correlation.…”
