Patterns of Focal Gray Matter Atrophy Are Associated With Bradykinesia and Gait Disturbances in Older Adults
Identify the neuroimaging correlates of parkinsonian signs in older adults living in the community.
Chronic Exercise Modifies Age-Related Telomere Dynamics in a Tissue-Specific Fashion
We evaluated the impact of long-term exercise on telomere dynamics in wild-derived short telomere mice (CAST/Ei) over 1 year. We observed significant telomere shortening in liver and cardiac tissues in sedentary 1-year-old mice compared with young (8 weeks) baseline mice that were attenuated in exe...
Mobility After Hospital Discharge as a Marker for 30-Day Readmission
Little is known about older patient’s mobility soon after discharge home from an acute hospitalization. We examined daily postdischarge mobility levels as marker of overall health and response to in-hospital treatment in older medicine patients.
Long-Term Supplementation With a Cystine-Based Antioxidant Delays Loss of Muscle Mass in Aging
Oxidative stress increases with age and is postulated to be a major causal factor for sarcopenia in aging. Here, we examined whether the administration of a cystine-based antioxidant (F1) can alleviate/delay age-specific changes in skeletal muscles. C57BL6 male mice aged 17 months (middle aged) wer...

Physical Resilience: Opportunities and Challenges in Translation

Researchers now think that predicting manifestations of age can be done using physical resistance indicators. They posit that the fundamental biology of aging ultimately drives chronic disease, multimorbidity, and death and that early-to-midlife resilience may be able to predict life span.
