Aging Research

KEY FINDING: Persons aging with disability and older adults share similar chronic conditions, necessitating a unified approach to intervention development.

KEY FINDING: COM motion indicates challenges in maintaining balance and the success of neural responses. COP provides information about the CNS response to COM imbalance, reflecting neuromuscular attempts to respond to instability.

KEY FINDING: Twenty studies using 22 question-based tools were identified, with the number of questions varying from 1 to 41.

KEY FINDING: Significant demyelination occurs primarily in the white matter, with anatomically specific age-related differences in myelination observed.

KEY FINDING: Age, lower albumin levels, high blood glucose, cervical OPLL, anterior vertebral hematoma, and severe neurological symptoms are independent risk factors for respiratory dysfunction.

KEY FINDING: Age, basic mobility, primary health care payer and parking limitations were common predictors of comorbidities and secondary conditions.

KEY FINDING: The number of elderly patients with cervical fractures and spinal cord injuries significantly increased over the 10-year study period.

KEY FINDING: 3.5% of elderly patients with CSI were complicated with BCVI.

KEY FINDING: Sarcopenia was associated with a higher prevalence of polypharmacy (OR: 1.65, 95% CI [1.23, 2.20], I2 = 84%, P < 0.01).

KEY FINDING: The study identified six key factors that contribute to the risk of delirium: old age (≥80 years), hypoalbuminemia, cervical fracture, major organ injury, dependence on pre-injury mobility, and comorbid diabetes.
