Background and objectivesKidney disease is associated with physiologic changes that may predispose to frailty. This study sought to investigate whether lower levels of kidney function were associated with prevalent or incident frailty in Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS) participants.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsCHS enrolled community-dwelling adults age 65 years between 1989-1990 and 1992-1993. To examine prevalent frailty, included were 4150 participants without stroke, Parkinson disease, prescribed medications for Alzheimer disease or depression, or severely impaired cognition. To examine incident frailty, included were a subset of 3459 participants without baseline frailty or development of exclusion criteria during follow-up. The primary predictor was estimated GFR (eGFR) calculated using serum cystatin C (eGFR(cys)). Secondary analyses examined eGFR using serum creatinine (eGFR(SCr)). Outcomes were prevalent frailty and incident frailty at 4 years of follow-up. Frailty was ascertained on the basis of weight loss, exhaustion, weakness, slowness, and low physical activity.ResultsThe mean age was 75 years and the median eGFR(cys) was 73 ml/min per 1.73 m(2). Among participants with an eGFR(cys)
