Objective: To establish the norms of the Hong Kong Brief Cognitive Test (HKBC) among Chinese older adults and to examine its utility for differentiating neurocognitive disorders from cognitively normal controls.
Methods: Two thousand three hundred twelve participants aged 40 years and above were recruited from six regions of China as the norm construction sample. 93 normal participants and 246 cognitive impairment patients were included for diagnostic test of HKBC.
Purpose: To compare the patient-reported outcomes and radiologic outcomes of the patients with medial and lateral cystic osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLTs) following bone marrow stimulation (BMS).
Methods: Patients with cystic OLTs who underwent BMS between January 2016 and February 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, and the minimum follow-up time was more than 24 months. Patients were paired in a 1:1 ratio (medial cystic OLT [MC-OLT]/lateral cystic OLT [LC-OLT]) based on the OLT area within 30 mm, follow-up within 1 year, age within 5 years, and ligament surgery (yes/no).

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the relationship between digital exclusion, such as neither mobile payments nor WeChat use, and cognitive impairment in Chinese individuals aged 45 and older.
Methods: A population-based cross-sectional study utilizing data from the fourth national survey of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). In the fourth wave of CHARLS, 10,325 participants aged 45 and older with complete information were included in this analysis.
Background: This study aimed to explore the prevalence of elder neglect (EN) and its associated factors among community-based Chinese older adults.
Methods: We used data from the 2018 phase of a nationwide cross-sectional study, the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS), which recruited 15,854 older adults to complete the study interviews that incorporated six dimensions of EN, namely, life neglect, social isolation, medical neglect, poor living situation, family neglect, and social neglect. Multivariate logistic regression was used to explore factors associated with EN.
Background: Previous studies have described an association between single time point calf circumference (CC) and mortality. Evidence of associations between CC change and mortality is lacking. We aimed to determine the relationship between the CC change over time and all-cause mortality.
