Background: Older adults have highly heterogeneous aging rates.
Objective: To explore the association of biological age (BA) and accelerated aging with frailty in community-dwelling older adults.
Methods: We assessed 735 community-dwelling older adults from the Coyocan Cohort.

Body composition assessment using instruments such as dual X-ray densitometry (DXA) can be complex and their use is often limited to research. This cross-sectional study aimed to develop and validate a densitometric method for fat mass (FM) estimation using 3D cameras. Using two such cameras, stereographic images, and a mesh reconstruction algorithm, 3D models were obtained.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines the prognostic risk for mortality in adults hospitalized with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia by comparing several risk assessment scales (APACHE, SOFA, CURB-65) with measurements of body composition, specifically phase angle (PA) and muscle strength (MS).
- It involved 104 hospitalized adults and incorporated various assessments, including bioelectrical impedance for PA and dynamometry for MS, alongside demographic and health metrics.
- Results indicated that survivors had higher PA and MS compared to non-survivors, suggesting that lower PA and MS could have significant predictive value for mortality, potentially surpassing traditional scoring systems.
