Abstract(s)
The
2D:4D
ratio
is
an
indicator
of
prenatal
testosterone
exposure
(Fink,
Manning,
&
Neave,
2006)
and
it
is
a
fairly
stable
one
(Anders,
2007).
While
there
are
some
studies
about
the
role
of
testosterone
on
frailty
(Srinivas-‐Shankar
&
Wu,
2009)
and
cognitive
decline
(Moffat,
2005)
in
older
adults,
very
few
analyze
the
impact
of
prenatal
testosterone
exposure
(Halil
et
al.,
2013).
Our
aim
was
to
understand
the
rela7on
between
2D:4D
ra7o,
frailty
and
cognitive
decline
in
community-dwelling
elderly
people.
