About 50% of patients with heart failure with a reduced ejection fraction meet guideline criteria for an iron deficiency state,1 but these criteria are based on the assessment of blood-borne iron biomarkers, which were developed as measures of systemic iron stores, in order to identify iron deficiency in erythroid precursors.

Clinical Research in Cardiology, Aug 2023 A high body mass index (BMI) confers a paradoxical survival benefit in patients with heart failure (HF) or diabetes mellitus (DM). There is, however, controversy whether an obesity paradox is also present in patients with HF and concomitant DM. In addition, the influence of glycaemic control and diabetes treatment on the presence or absence of the obesity paradox in patients with HF and DM is unknown.

We found that joint pain was strongly associated with current and future frailty in the IMH&W cohort, even after adjusting for baseline age, sex, BMI, and frailty status. Greater pain severity increased the risk of transitioning from non-frail to a frail state over one-year of follow-up but did not appear to be a significant barrier to the transition from frail to a non-frail state over the same timeframe.
