To evaluate the effectiveness of a wearable airbag belt in preventing fall-related hip injuries among older adults at high risk for injurious falls in older adult care settings.
The Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) program provides nursing home–level care to older adults living in the community. We sought to characterize provider perceptions of PACE patients’ unmet palliative care needs and quantify the palliative care educational needs of multidisciplinary PAC...
As an increasing number of hospitalized inpatients are older and frail, cognitive impairment is becoming more common. Cognitive impairment may increase susceptibility to adverse events (AEs). This study aimed to identify the prevalence of AEs, potentially preventable AEs, and deaths in patients with and wi...
We aimed to compare the incidence of motoric cognitive risk syndrome (MCR)—a pre-dementia syndrome that is identified by a combination of slowed gait speed and cognitive complaints—and previous mild parkinsonian signs (MPS) in older adults without Parkinson disease who do not have dementia.
Ultrasound only has low-to-moderate accuracy for sarcopenia. We aimed to investigate whether ultrasound radiomics combined with machine learning enhances sarcopenia diagnostic accuracy compared with conventional ultrasound parameters among older adults in long-term care.
This study investigated the interactive associations of age, apolipoprotein E ε4 (APOE4) genetic status, physical activity energy expenditure (PAEE), and physical functioning on processing speed over a 10-year period.
Serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an important biomarker associated with various physiological processes and diseases. Although alkaline phosphatase's impact on health has been extensively studied, its specific relationship with sarcopenia remains unclear.
To examine racial and rural-urban disparities in discharge disposition following hospitalization for ischemic stroke, stratified by 90-day postdischarge survival status.
