Plasma N-Terminal Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide Is Associated with Intrinsic Capacity Decline in an Older Population

ConclusionElevated NT-proBNP levels were associated with decreased intrinsic capacity in older persons, independent of age, multimorbidity, polypharmacy, and chronic inflammation. Further longitudinal studies are required to explore the predictive role of NT-proBNP on declines in intrinsic capacity.
