Adipose tissue compartments, muscle mass, muscle fat infiltration, and coronary calcium in institutionalized frail nonagenarians.

Objective: to compare the different adipose tissue (AT) compartments, muscle mass, muscle fat infiltration, coronary calcium, as well as associations among changes in different AT compartments between frail and robust nonagenarians.

Materials And Methods: Forty-two elderly subjects took part in this study: 29 institutionalized frail elderly (92.0 ± 8 years) and 13 robust elderly (88.

Functional capacity, muscle fat infiltration, power output, and cognitive impairment in institutionalized frail oldest old.

This study examined the neuromuscular and functional performance differences between frail oldest old with and without mild cognitive impairment (MCI). In addition, the associations between functional capacities, muscle mass, strength, and power output of the leg muscles were also examined. Forty-three elderly men and women (91.
