Small dense low-density lipoprotein as biomarker in the elderly Open
Lipid and apolipoprotein concentrations of the elderly were high compared to the recommended target values. In addition, lipid and apolipoprotein baseline concentrations were not higher in the ASCVD group than in the control group. Our res…

High-sensitivity cardiac troponin T and N-terminal b-type natriuretic propeptide are associated with cardiac and all-cause mortality in older adults – A population-based ten-year follow-up study Open
Our study shows that older population with higher cTnT and proBNP concentrations have an increased risk of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. Acknowledging the elevated risk may aid in targeting follow-up, prevention, and treatment ad…

New reference limits for cardiac troponin T and N-terminal b-type natriuretic propeptide in elders Open
Age-specific reference limits for cTnT and proBNP are needed to better evaluate cardiac symptoms.

Ceramides and Phosphatidylcholines Associate with Cardiovascular Diseases in the Elderly Open
Background The ceramide- and phospholipid-based cardiovascular risk score (CERT2) has been found to predict the risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) events, especially cardiovascular mortality. In the present study, our aim was to estimat…

A Novel Easy-to-use Index to Predict Institutionalization and Death in Older Population – a 10-year Population-based Follow-up Study Open
Background: Various indexes have been developed to estimate the risk for mortality, institutionalization, and other adverse outcomes for older people. Most indexes are based on a large number of clinical or laboratory parameters. An index …

A practical laboratory index to predict institutionalization and mortality – an 18-year population-based follow-up study Open
Background Previously, several indexes based on a large number of clinical and laboratory tests to predict mortality and frailty have been produced. However, there is still a need for an easily applicable screening tool for every-day clini…
