Introduction: The free and cued reminding test is often considered to be essential in the neuropsychological examination of elderly people consulting Memory Clinics. One of the reasons is that this test maximizes learning by inducing deep semantic processing and by controlling encoding and retrieval conditions. The aim of this study was to produce age, sex and educational level-adjusted normative data for this test.
Methods: These data were collected as part of the Three-City (3C) Study, a French population-based study on aging.
Results: The subsample of subjects analysed for this study included 1 458 non-institutionalised and non-demented elderly adults aged 65 and over. Norms were calculated according to age (65-70, 70-74, 74-78, 78-90), sex and educational level of the subjects (primary level versus and secondary or university level).
Conclusion: The interest of this work is to provide to clinicians normative scores on the free and cued reminding test which can be used as an aid to interpret a patient's performance on a test widely used to detect episodic memory deficits in aging.

Background: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) with onset in youth may be more consequential for adverse outcomes than that detected later in adulthood. Transaminitis in the general population is a marker of the prevalence of MASLD. There are no previous community-based studies in Indian youth assessing the prevalence of transaminitis.

Background: Older adults treated in emergency departments (EDs) are at higher risk for adverse outcomes. Using multiple facilities can worsen this issue through service duplication and poor care transitions. Veterans with dual insurance coverage can access both Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and non-VHA EDs.

Background: Creatine has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory effects. However, its impact on tumors remains uncertain.
Methods: This study used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2007 to 2018 to investigate the relationship between dietary creatine intake and cancer in American adults.

Purpose: Pelvic and hip motion are pivotal in maintaining postural control and energy efficient gait. An insight into influence of age and gender on the coupled motion of hip and pelvis in gait-cycle will guide clinical rehabilitation strategies and pertinent technology-design for specific age-groups. Therefore, present study evaluated pelvic and hip-joint gait kinematics in healthy females and males across adult-hood.

We evaluated if abdominal myosteatosis was associated with processing speed in a multiethnic cohort of middle aged and older adults.
Methods: The analytical sample included 1,268 adults (46-86 years old, mean 63±9 years, 53% female of 41% White, 20% Black, 14% Chinese, and 25% Hispanic), a subset from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA).
