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

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.
TL;DR: The findings suggest that exercise programs should be tailored to meet the needs and wishes of subgroups of this population, and programs must take varying preferences into account and explore their meaning for program design.
