Frailty predicted persistent fatigue in older breast cancer survivors

A longitudinal cohort study of 543 women aged 60 and older linked greater pre-treatment frailty to persistent fatigue after breast cancer.A longitudinal cohort study of 543 women aged 60 and older linked greater pre-treatment frailty to persistent fatigue after breast cancer.

Upright women form a large dark blue-green group and a smaller gray group beside breast tissue with branching ducts and a localized mass.

Low-dose aspirin did not prevent functional decline in older adults

Women assigned aspirin had a small extra decline versus placebo, with an estimated effect of minus 0.006 on the capacity score; men showed no effect.Women assigned aspirin had a small extra decline versus placebo, with an estimated effect of minus 0.006 on the capacity score; men showed no effect.

Plant-based diet quality linked to frailty in older adults

Higher overall plant-based diet scores, compared with lower scores, were linked to lower frailty odds, with odds ratios of 0.71 to 0.80.Higher overall plant-based diet scores, compared with lower scores, were linked to lower frailty odds, with odds ratios of 0.71 to 0.80.

Aging measures not consistently linked to cancer in survivors

An observational study of 4,272 childhood cancer survivors found no consistent link between aging measures and later malignancies; median follow-ups were 5.9, 5.0 and 4.9…An observational study of 4,272 childhood cancer survivors found no consistent link between aging measures and later malignancies; median follow-ups were 5.9, 5.0 and 4.9 years.
