Associations of interleukin-6 with functional trajectories in older adults with cancer: Findings from the Health, Aging, and Body Composition Study

Associations of interleukin-6 with functional trajectories in older adults with cancer: Findings from the Health, Aging, and Body Composition Study

Background: Elevated markers of inflammation, such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), are associated with aging, cancer, and functional decline. We assessed the association of pre-diagnosis IL-6 levels with post-diagnosis functional trajectories among older adults with cancer. Black and White participants exp...
