Frailty and affective disorders throughout adult life: A 5-year follow-up of the Lifelines Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Frailty is an important concept for risk stratification in clinical practice, but it is hardly acknowledged at all in mental healthcare settings. This paper aims to assess the impact of frailty on the course of depression and anxiety, and the impact of these affective disorders on the course of frailty.

Methods

Lifelines, a prospective population-based cohort study, evaluated 167,729 people living in the northern Netherlands. Frailty was based on the deficit accumulation model, which resulted in a 60-item frailty index (FI) at baseline and a 35-item FI at baseline and 5-year follow-up. Current depressive and anxiety disorders were assessed with the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview according to DSM-IV criteria. Bidirectional associations between frailty and affective disorders were investigated using separate multivariable regression analyses in younger (<60 years) and older adults (≥60 years).

Results

The FI was associated with the onset of a depressive disorder (younger adults: odds ratio [OR] = 1.12; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.11-1.13; older adults: OR = 1.13; 95% CI 1.09-1.16) as well as any anxiety disorder (younger adults: OR = 1.10; 95% CI 1.09-1.10; older adults: OR = 1.07; 95% CI 1.04-1.09). The other way around, depressive disorder and anxiety disorders were associated with an accelerated increase of frailty over time (depressive disorder: younger adults: beta [β] = 0.03, p < 0.001; older adults: β = 0.04, p < 0.001; and any anxiety disorder: younger adults: β = 0.02, p < 0.001; older adults: β = 0.01, p < 0.142), although the effect of anxiety disorders was less equivocal among older adults.

Conclusions

Affective disorders are reciprocally related to frailty. Results with respect to the impact of anxiety disorders on frailty suggest most impact at lower levels of frailty. Our results might imply that interventions to slow biological aging should be broadened towards younger and middle-aged people as well as non-frail older patients. To develop targeted treatment, future clinical and epidemiologic studies on the underlying pathways of this bidirectional association are needed.

Project description:BackgroundFabry disease, an X-linked genetic condition, results from alpha-galactosidase deficiency and increased accumulation of glycosphingolipids in cardiovascular tissues. Clinical manifestation includes vasculature associated complications. Hyperlipidaemia is one of the cardiovascular risk factors however it has never been well defined in Fabry disease. Enzyme Replacement Therapy (ERT) is available but its effect on serum cholesterol is unknown. The aim of this project was to assess the influence of long-term ERT on lipid profile in a large cohort of adult patients with Fabry disease.MethodsThis was a retrospective analysis of lipid profile results. Patients with Fabry disease were on ERT for 10 years, were not treated with statins and had no severe renal impairment. All patients had lipid profile measured before ERT was commenced and 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 120 months later. Statistical analysis included ANOVA, Student t-test and descriptive statistics.ResultsAmong 72 patients, 40 were females (median age 45; range 29-75), 32 males (median age 46; range 20-69). There was no significant difference in total cholesterol or HDL-cholesterol measured at baseline before ERT was commenced and 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 120 months after ERT was commenced in 72 patients (ANOVA; P = 0.673 and P = 0.883, respectively). Female patients on ERT had higher mean HDL-cholesterol as compared to female patients with Fabry disease who were asymptomatic and not treated (P ≥ 0.05). Total cholesterol between treated and non-treated female patients was comparable. Female patients on ERT have higher total cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol when compared to lipid results in male patients on ERT. Total cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol ratio was low in female and male patients on ERT over 10 years.ConclusionAdult patients with Fabry disease have remarkably elevated HDL-cholesterol and as a result, elevated total cholesterol. It is possible that elevated HDL-cholesterol has a cardioprotective effect in patients with this condition. Long term ERT does not have a significant impact on lipid profile in female and male population with Fabry disease.

Project description:ObjectiveThis study aimed to report the presence of categorical and dimensional personality disorders (PD) in adults with longstanding eating disorders (ED) over a period of 17 years and to investigate whether changes in PD predict changes in ED symptoms or vice versa.MethodsIn total, 62 of the 80 living patients (78% response rate) with anorexia nervosa (n = 23), bulimia nervosa (n = 25), or other specified feeding or ED (n = 14) at baseline were evaluated during hospital treatment and at 1-year, 2-year, 5-year, and 17-year follow-up. PD were assessed using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis II disorders, and the eating disorder examination (EDE) interview was used to assess ED. Data were analyzed using multilevel modeling.ResultsFrom baseline to the 17-year follow-up, the number of patients with any PD decreased significantly from 74.2% to 24.2%, and the total number of PD diagnoses declined from 80 to 22. Mean EDE score was significantly reduced from 4.2 (SD: 1.1) to 2.0 (SD: 1.6). There was a positive association between ED and PD where the initial level of either disorder was followed by similar levels of the other disorder throughout the entire follow-up period. High baseline levels of borderline PD predicted less decrease in ED symptoms. No significant within-person effects were found.ConclusionsBoth ED and PD significantly declined over time. As the severity of either disorder seems to be associated with the other, thorough assessment and treatment that incorporates both the ED psychopathology and the personality disturbances are advisable.Public significance statementWhile personality disorders were highly prevalent in the sample of patients with longstanding eating disorders, both disorders were significantly reduced at the 17-year follow-up. The disorders are related in the sense that an initial high level of either disorder is associated with a high level of the other over time. A thorough assessment and attention to both illnesses are advisable in therapy.Clinical trial identifierNCT03968705.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Frailty in older adults is a common multidimensional clinical entity, a state of vulnerability to stressors that increases the risk of adverse outcomes such as functional decline, institutionalization or death. The aim of this study is to identify the factors that anticipate the future inclusion of community-dwelling individuals aged ?70?years in home care programmes (HC) and nursing homes (NH), and to develop the corresponding prediction models. METHODS:A prospective cohort study was conducted in 23 primary healthcare centers located in Catalonia, Spain, with an eight-year follow-up (2005-2013). The cohort was made up of 616 individuals. Data collection included a baseline multidimensional assessment carried out by primary health care professionals. Outcome variables were collected during follow-up by consulting electronic healthcare records, and the Central Registry of Catalonia for mortality. A prognostic index for a HC and NH at 8 years was estimated for each patient. Death prior to these events was considered a competing risk event, and Fine-Gray regression models were used. RESULTS:At baseline, mean age was 76.4?years and 55.5% were women. During follow-up, 19.2% entered a HC program, 8.2% a NH, and 15.4% died without presenting an event. Of those who entered a NH, 31.5% had previously been in a HC program. Multivariate models for a HC and NH showed that the risk of a HC entry was associated with older age, dependence on the Instrumental Activities of Daily Living, and slow gait measured by Timed-up-and-go test. An increased risk of being admitted to a NH was associated with older age, dependence on the Instrumental Activities of Daily Living, number of prescriptions, and the presence of social risk. CONCLUSIONS:Prognostic models based on comprehensive geriatric assessments can predict the need for the commencement of HC and NH admission in community-dwelling older adults. Our findings underline the necessity to measure functional capacity, mobility, number of prescriptions, and social aspects of older adults in primary healthcare centers. In such a setting they can be offered longitudinal holistic assessments so as to benefit from preventive actions in order to remain independent in the community for as long as possible.
