Characteristics of 400-meter walk test performance and subsequent mortality in older adults.

TL;DR: It is concluded that multiple aspects of performance in the 400-meter walk test provide complementary information on mortality prognosis in older persons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Age and disability affect dietary intake.

TL;DR: More attention to functional problems in the elderly population and the provision of formal or informal help to those who have difficulty in purchasing, processing and eating food may reduce, at least in part, the percentage of older persons with poor nutrition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gait speed under varied challenges and cognitive decline in older persons: a prospective study

TL;DR: Measureting fast gait speed in older persons may assist in identifying those at high risk of cognitive decline, and J-test showed that the model including fast speed quartiles as a regressor was significantly more predictive of SCD than the models with usual speed or walking-while-talking speed quartile.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of DHEAS on Skeletal Muscle Over the Life Span: The InCHIANTI Study

TL;DR: In men aged 60-79 years, circulating DHEAS is an independent correlate of muscle strength and calf muscle area and the possible causal role of declining DHEas in age-related sarcopenia should be further explored in longitudinal studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Socio-environmental exercise preferences among older adults.
