Oxidative Stress Is Related to Frailty, Not to Age or Sex, in a Geriatric Population: Lipid and Protein Oxidation as Biomarkers of Frailty

Abstract

Circulating oxidative damage biomarkers, such as MDA and protein carbonylation, are related to frailty and not to age or sex. These parameters may be considered as potential biomarkers of frailty in the context of a multidisciplinary health-promoting approach for older adults.
