Associations of cachexia and frailty with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis by Tracy L. Peters, Weihong Qiu, Haomin Yang, Wuqing Huang, Yizhen Hu, Zhangyu Zou, Weimin Ye

“…In this prospective study, we extracted cachexia and frailty status from the UK Biobank cohort to study the associations of these conditions (as determined via international classification of disease-10 codes) with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. There was a greater risk of developing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis among individuals with cachexia and frailty status after adjusting for age, sex, income (pounds), body mass index, UK Biobank centers and smoking status. …”
