To determine the association between physical activity (PA) and subjective cognitive complaints (SCCs), and the influential factors in this association.
This study investigated the potential of physical exercise habit as a lifestyle modification against cognitive and functional decline at the community level.
Cognitive frailty has recently been defined as the co-occurrence of physical frailty and cognitive impairment. Late-life depression is associated with both physical frailty and cognitive impairment, especially processing speed and executive functioning. The objective of this study was to investigate the as...
The purpose of this study was to determine whether frailty is an important and independent predictor of incident depressive symptoms in elderly people without depressive symptoms at baseline.
We first estimated the prevalence of physical frailty in older subjects from the population-based Salus in Apulia Study (Apulia, Southern Italy), and its impact on all-cause mortality. Second, we explored the relationship between multimorbidity and physical frailty.
We investigated the differences in the physical function test results across stages from normal cognition (NC) to moderate Alzheimer disease (AD) and how risk factors of physical function decline are correlated with the physical function test results.
Identifying strong predictors for falls and mobility limitations in older adults with a falls-related emergency department visit is crucial. This study aimed to compare, in this clinical population, the incremental predictive value of the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) component tests for incide...
