The aim of this study is to assess the effect of the sit-to-stand activity on the mobility, function, and health-related quality of life of nursing home residents with dementia.
The purpose of this study was to test a model of the resident and community factors that are associated with quality of care interactions among nursing home (NH) residents living with dementia and test for invariance between model fit when tested with the Black versus White residents and female versus male...
Reaching the moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) recommendations of 150 min/wk is difficult for older adults, particularly among those living with frailty and its associated risk of dementia. We examined the dose-response relationship between MVPA and dementia risk among at-risk persons living wi...
Despite the growing importance of slow gait as a universal screen of health, systematic investigation of risk factors for incident slow gait is lacking. Our objective was to identify potentially modifiable risk factors for incident slow gait.
There are nonlinear risk associations of body mass index (BMI) with mortality in type 2 diabetes (T2D) and elderly populations although similar information in elderly individuals with T2D are lacking.
The phenotypic frailty (PF) model (including slow walking, low physical activity, exhaustion, weakness, and unintentional weight loss) has been widely used to quantify the degree of frailty and predict risks of adverse health outcomes for the elderly. However, evidence has shown that not all the components...
