Factors affecting cognitive frailty improvement and progression in Taiwanese older adults.

Background: Knowledge of predictors of cognitive frailty (CF) trajectories is required to develop preventive strategies to delay or reverse the progression from CF to dementia and other adverse outcomes. This 2-year prospective study aimed to investigate factors affecting the progression and improvement of CF in older Taiwanese adults.

Methods: In total, 832 community-dwelling people aged ≥ 65 years were eligible.

Predictors of lower knee function improvement two years after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Objectives: The extent to which knee functions improve after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) varies. This study aimed to determine the factors that affect lower knee function improvement after two years of ACLR.

Methods: The study included 159 patients who underwent ACLR in the Indonesian ACL community between August 2018 and April 2020.

Predictors of incident reversible and potentially reversible cognitive frailty among Taiwanese older adults.

Background: Few studies emphasize on predictors of incident cognitive frailty (CF) and examine relationships between various gait characteristics and CF. Therefore, we conducted a 2-year prospective study to investigate potential predictors, including gait characteristics, of incident reversible CF (RCF) and potentially RCF (PRCF) among Taiwanese older adults.

Methods: Eligible participants were individuals aged ≥ 65 years, who could ambulate independently, and did not have RCF/PRCF at the baseline.

Specific cognitive domains and frailty trajectories among older Taiwanese adults.

: To investigate the associations of specific cognitive functions and with the frailty trajectory among older Taiwanese adults. At baseline, 730 community-dwelling older adults were recruited from outpatient clinics of a general hospital. Frailty status was defined using phenotype criteria.
