Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the nine dysregulated proteins (FC ≥ 2, p < 0.05) that exhibited moderately strong correlation (correlation coefficient ≥ 0.60, p < 0.05) with parameters of cognitive and/or frailty assessments. See Table S3 for false positive test on diseases using single and combination of dysregulated proteins (FC ≥ 2, p < 0.05) that exhibited moderately strong correlation (correlation coefficient ≥ 0.60, p < 0.05) with parameters of cognitive and/ or frailty assessments
