Impact of a functional gait training program as a complementary strategy to improve physical function in older adults: a randomized clinical trial
CONCLUSION: Integrating the SSM Fisior^(®) program into physical activity workshops enhances muscle activity and functional performance, in terms of Timed Up and Go Test, muscle strength, functionality and calf circumference, supporting its value in promoting healthy aging.
Frailty associated with nutritional status, functionality, physical activity and socioeconomic level, in older adults in Ecuador, post-pandemic
CONCLUSIONS: Frailty prevalence was high among older adults and was significantly associated with low physical activity and low socioeconomic status. These findings highlight critical challenges for Ecuador's public and private healthcare systems in implementing proactive measures to delay the onset of frailty and improve quality of life in this population.
Protein Catabolites as Blood-Based Biomarkers of Aging Physiology: Findings From the Dog Aging Project
Our understanding of aging has grown through the study of systems biology, including single-cell analysis, proteomics and metabolomics. Studies in lab organisms in controlled environments, while powerful and complex, fall short of capturing the breadth of genetic and environmental variation in nature. Thus, there is now a major effort in geroscience to identify aging biomarkers that might be applied across the diversity of humans and other free-living species. To meet this challenge, the Dog...
