Salivary IL-6 Concentration Is Associated with Frailty Syndrome in Older Individuals

Abstract: Background: One of the physiological changes that is most closely associated with frailty is the increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines, and IL-6 in particular. Most studies have demonstrated this association using blood samples. We analyzed the relationship between frailty syndrome, individual frailty criteria, and IL-6 levels obtained by saliva tests. Methods: A cross-sectional pilot study was performed among women institutionalized in nursing homes. Frailty was defined as having three or more of the followi… Show more

“…In well-functioning older patients, IL-6 is found to be prospectively associated with cognitive decline. 39–41 IL-6 is also part of the core panel of frailty biomarkers 42 and has recently been suggested by Gómez-Rubio et al 43 as a useful biomarker for monitoring treatment in frail individuals. Both the proinflammatory action of IL-6 and its association with the risk factors that were discussed earlier are further pieces of evidence that lend credence to the neuroinflammatory hypothesis of delirium.…”

“…A study on the transition from frailty to depressive symptoms in older adults in Korea found that the transition of frailty in older adults was related to depressive symptoms [50]. One of the physiological changes associated with frailty is an increase in the levels of the inflammatory cytokine interleukin 6 (IL-6) [51]. IL-6 is a cytokine with multiple effects on inflammation, immune responses, and hematopoietic blood [52].…”

“…In well-functioning older patients, IL-6 is found to be prospectively associated with cognitive decline 39-41 . IL-6 is also part of the core panel of frailty biomarkers 42 , and has recently been suggested by Gómez-Rubio, Trapero, Cauli, Buigues 43 as a useful biomarker for monitoring treatment in frail individuals. The inflammatory role of IL-6 and its associations with aforementioned predisposing triggers further emphasize the neuro-inflammatory model of delirium.…”
