Leukocyte Circular RNAs Correlate with Frailty

Researchers here report that increased levels of some circular RNAs in leukocytes isolated from blood samples correlate well with age-related frailty. Interventions such as structured exercise programs that known to help with frailty may reduce levels of these circular RNAs, though more exploration than took place in the present study would be needed to confirm that this is the case. As to why this relationship exists between frailty and specific circular RNAs, that is a question for researchers to explore in the years ahead.

Frailty is an intermediate and reversible geriatric syndrome that often precedes dependence. Therefore, its identification is essential to prevent dependence. Several molecules have been proposed as <a hr…
