Association between Muscle Fatigability, Self-Perceived Fatigue and C-Reactive Protein at Admission in Hospitalized Geriatric Patients.

ABSTRACT: Background: The capacity to perceived vitality (CPV) ratio is a novel measure for intrinsic capacity or resilience based on grip work and self-perceived fatigue. CPV has been associated with pre-frailty in older adults and post-surgery inflammation in adults. To better understand the utility of this measure in a frail population, we examined the association between CPV and inflammation in geriatric inpatients. Methods: Data were obtained from 104 hospitalized geriatric patients. The average age of participants was 83.3 ± 7.5 years, and 55.8% of participants were women. In the cross-sectional analyses, associations between C-reactive protein (CRP), grip work (GW), self-perceived fatigue (SPF) and the CPV ratio (higher values indicate better capacity) were examined using linear
