Heritability estimates for these age-related forms have been reported for WML in elderly male twins (Carmelli et al., 1998) in a large population based sample of middle aged elderly sibships (Atwood et al., 2004), within non-Hispanic white and black hypertensive siblings (Turner et al., 2004), and in siblings discordant for Alzheimer disease (Cuenco et al., 2008).
In this population-based sample of elderly men, we found that increased left ventricular internal dimension in diastole, at age 68, is associated with decreased verbal and spatial ability, both at baseline as well as at follow-up.
The objective of this study was to find the test or tests that best predicted falls in a population-based sample of elderly women.
We identified a significant positive association between insulin sensitivity and GFR in a community-based sample of elderly men.
6 In a community-based sample of elderly individuals in Europe, low-grade albuminuria was a marker for subclinical cardiovascular damage, which predisposed heart failure in the future.
To investigate associations between serum cathepsin S, impaired insulin sensitivity, defective insulin secretion, and diabetes risk in a community-based sample of elderly men without diabetes.
Objective: Because very few studies have been conducted in humans, we assessed the associations between different POPs and inflammatory markers in a large population-based sample of elderly men and women (all 70 years of age) from Sweden.
Accordingly, we investigated the association between serum cathepsin S and the two major underlying causes of diabetes impaired insulin sensitivity and impaired insulin secretion in a community-based sample of elderly men without diabetes.
In summary, in a community-based sample of elderly men, lower insulin sensitivity was associated with lower renal function, even in individuals with normal glucose levels and normal GFR.
Sundström et al. (16) reported that oral glucose tolerance test 2-h glucose levels, but not fasting plasma glucose, was significantly related to LV relative wall thickness and LV concentric remodeling but less related to LVH in a population-based sample of elderly men.
