endpoint - показатель?? med.

[Baskakova]

Контекст:
Whichever type of study is carried out, it was agreed
that standardized multiparameter measurements are
necessary, to be combined with factors not overtly
immunological, ie. biological, functional and cognitive
markers of ageing (including ADL, IADL, MMSE, GDS).
If not using mortality as a robust but perhaps less than
optimally informative endpoint, what clinical parameters
can be utilised to assess the impact of immunosenescence?
The above-mentioned functional tests could be
good endpoints in elderly subjects.

Вопрос 1: Являются ли ADL, IADL, MMSE, GDS функциональными тестами? (расшифровывать не надо).

Вопрос 2: "robust endpoint" в данном случае может ли быть "надежным показателем", а "less than optimally informative endpoint" - "малоинформативным показателем"??
