Comments on “High N‐Terminal Pro‐B‐Type Natriuretic Peptide Levels Are Associated With Lower Physical Function Independent of Sarcopenia in Community‐Dwelling Older Adults: The Shizuoka Study”

Key Points

• To discuss the association between N-Terminal Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide levels and physical function in older adults.
• Analysis of data related to N-Terminal Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide and physical function in older adults.
• Focus on community-dwelling older adults in the Shizuoka Study.
• Higher levels of N-Terminal Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide are associated with lower physical function.
• The association is independent of sarcopenia status.
