NCT ID NCT02816580
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether certain blood markers (called PTMDPs) can help identify frailty in people over 65. Researchers collected blood samples from 254 elderly participants and measured these markers. The goal is to find a simple way to detect frailty early so that preventive steps can be taken.
