Serum nonmercaptalbumin to total albumin ratio and bilirubin predict ADL decline in older adults with type 2 diabetes

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
In a longitudinal cohort of older adults with type 2 diabetes, incident ADL disability was evaluated. Higher HNA%, lower serum bilirubin, and older age independently predicted the risk of disability. Their combined assessment may offer clinically useful tools for identifying individuals at elevated risk of functional deterioration.
