To assess the potential role of body composition in the association of insulin resistance (IR) with functional decline and mortality in nondiabetic older persons.
We aimed to examine the relationship between the fat-free mass index (FFMI; FFM/height) and appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI; ASM/height), measured using both bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and investigate the effects of age and obesity. We a...
Awake bruxism is an understudied manifestation of frontotemporal dementia, yet awake bruxism can have fatal consequences in the aging population. This report presents a patient suffering from awake bruxism associated with frontotemporal dementia being treated with a mouthguard, which ultimately becomes lod...

The aim of this study was to investigate...
