TL;DR: MCR is common in older adults, and is a strong and early risk factor for cognitive decline, and can be easily applied to identify high-risk seniors in a wide variety of settings.

TL;DR: This meta-analysis provides evidence that poor gait performance predicts dementia; this association depends on the type of dementia; poor gact performance is a stronger predictor of non-AD dementias than AD.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed consensus guidelines for gait assessment and spatiotemporal gait analysis based on the recorded footfalls, and reference values for healthy older adults free of cognitive impairment and multi-morbidities.

TL;DR: It is suggested that non-AD, but not AD dementia, is associated with increased falls in comparison with CHIs, and the association between gait parameters and falls also differs across cognitive status, suggesting different mechanisms leading to falls in older individuals with dementia in comparison to CHIs who fall.

TL;DR: This review provides an evidence base for an ultrasound protocol in the assessment of skeletal muscle with the use of US and creates conditions to further test the applicability of US for use on a large scale as a routine assessment and follow-up tool for appendicular muscle.
