Objective: To identify which cognitive functions and specific neuropsychological assessments predict falls in older people living in the community.
Methods: Five electronic databases were searched until 30/08/2022 for studies assessing the association between specific cognitive functions and faller status (prospective and retrospective), in community-dwelling older people. Risk of bias was assessed with the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale.
Article Synopsis
- Understanding the dietary specialization of early European hominins is essential for examining the evolution of their craniofacial structure and dental wear from food processing methods.
- Previous research has largely centered on Neandertals, leaving a gap in knowledge about the dental wear of earlier hominins, particularly regarding their dietary behaviors.
- The study reveals that Homo antecessor had a unique microwear pattern indicating a diet rich in hard and brittle foods, suggesting these early hominins faced tough environmental conditions and had diets more mechanically demanding than later populations, which may have contributed to evolutionary changes in brain size.
