Sarcopenic obesity and risk of falls: findings in Middle-aged and older Chinese population from CHARLS

2 weeks ago
CONCLUSION: Sarcopenic obesity is associated with an increased risk of falls among middle-aged and older adults, especially in longitudinal analyses. Age-stratified results suggest that the impact of SO on falls may be more pronounced in the middle-aged group. Our findings support the need for early identification and targeted interventions for individuals with SO to mitigate fall-related risks in aging populations.

Age-Related Alterations in Hippocampal Microstructure Quantified Using High-Gradient Diffusion MRI (dMRI) in an Unfolded Hippocampal Space

2 weeks ago
The hippocampus, a brain region critical for memory, undergoes significant age-related changes at both the macroscopic and microstructural levels. This study investigates these changes using high-gradient diffusion MRI (dMRI) data analyzed in an unfolded hippocampal space. We applied the Soma and Neurite Density Imaging (SANDI) model to quantify microstructural alterations in 72 cognitively healthy participants aged 19-85 years, scanned on a 3 T Connectome MRI scanner with a maximum gradient...
