The Association of Vitamin D Deficiency and Incident Frailty in Older Women: The Role of Cardiometabolic Diseases
Objectives Evidence suggests vitamin D deficiency is associated with developing frailty. However, cardiometabolic factors are related to both conditions and may confound and/or mediate the vitamin D–frailty association. We aimed to determine the association of vitamin D concentration with incidence...

Zusammenfassung: | Objectives
Evidence suggests vitamin D deficiency is associated with developing frailty. However, cardiometabolic factors are related to both conditions and may confound and/or mediate the vitamin D–frailty association. We aimed to determine the association of vitamin D concentration with incidence of frailty, and the role of cardiometabolic diseases (cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension) in this relationship.
Design
Prospective longitudinal cohort study (7 visits from 1994–2008).
Setting
Baltimore, Maryland.
Participants
Three hundred sixty‐nine women from the Women's Health and Aging Study II aged 70–79 years, free of frailty at baseline.
Measurements
Serum circulating 25‐hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) concentration was assessed at baseline and categorized as: |
