Mobility is the most studied and most relevant physical ability affecting quality of life with
strong prognostic value for disability and survival. Natural selection has built the “engine” of …

Objective To determine whether a multicomponent intervention based on physical activity
with technological support and nutritional counselling prevents mobility disability in older …

Background: A number of large-scale population studies have provided valuable information
about physical performance in aged individuals; however, there is little information about …

FERREIRA-BENDASSOLLI, Ila Maria y COSTA-DE LIMA, Kenio. Functional, nutritional and …

Background: Aerobic fitness and muscle bioenergetic capacity decline with age; whether
such declines explain age-related slowing of walking speed is unclear. We hypothesized …

Background Advances in computational algorithms and the availability of large datasets with
clinically relevant characteristics provide an opportunity to develop machine learning …

Background While physical frailty and malnutrition/obesity (parameters easily measured by
a nurse) are not the same, older persons who are malnourished/obese are more likely to be …

Prevalence of tooth loss has increased due to population aging. Tooth loss negatively
affects the overall physical and social well-being of older adults. Understanding the role of …

Background The associations between body flexibility and sarcopenia were not well
understood. This study aimed to explore the cross‐sectional and longitudinal associations of …

Objective Both slow gait speed (GS) and higher levels of frailty are associated with adverse
outcomes in community-dwelling older people. However these measures are not routinely …
