Associations of Inflammatory, Metabolic, Malnutrition, and Frailty Indexes with Multimorbidity Incidence and Progression, and Mortality Impact: Singapore Longitudinal Aging Study

Conclusion: The onset and progression of multimorbidity and its mortality impact are driven by systemic factors, including inflammation, metabolic dysfunction (insulin resistance), malnutrition, and frailty. The measurement of these systemic factors using simple, inexpensive clinical and blood chemistry tools can help in strategies to prevent and reduce its mortality impact.Gerontology
