...Participants with none of these features were considered nonfrail, those with one or two were intermediate frail, and three or more qualified as frail.

Plasma vitamin E levels were measured, as were confounders including lower extremity muscle strength, cognitive function, diseases and factors related to vitamin E metabolism.

The general conclusion: Cal should be better, certainly should have been better in 2005-06.
