Aim: The serum creatinine/cystatin C ratio (CCR) or sarcopenia index is considered a useful marker of muscle mass. However, its usefulness in late-stage older adults remains unclear. We aimed to determine the usefulness of CCR as an indicator of sarcopenia in community-dwelling Japanese adults aged >75 years.

Article Synopsis
- This study explored the effectiveness of an inertial measurement unit for analyzing gait differences between frail and robust older adults.
- Six participants in their 80s were evaluated based on established health criteria, measuring factors like sole clearance and stability shifts during walking.
- Results showed that frail participants had lower sole clearance and less center of mass shift, highlighting potential applications for rehabilitation programs and the design of supportive walking equipment.
Article Synopsis
- * Researchers assessed frailty using the Japanese version of Cardiovascular Health Study criteria and sleep status using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), highlighting differences in sleep duration and quality amongst age groups.
- * The findings indicated that in participants in their 70s, long sleep duration and sleep medication use correlated with frailty, while in those in their 80s, poor sleep quality was linked to frailty, suggesting tailored approaches to sleep evaluation can aid in preventing frailty.
Longitudinal association of hypertension and dyslipidemia with cognitive function in community-dwelling older adults: the SONIC study.

The associations among cognitive function, hypertension, and dyslipidemia in older adults are controversial. Therefore, we investigated the associations among cognitive decline, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and their combination in community-dwelling older people in their 70s, 80s, and 90s in the long-term observational Septuagenarians, Octogenarians, Nonagenarians, Investigation with Centenarians (SONIC) study. We administered the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Japanese version (MoCA-J) by trained geriatricians and psychologists, and conducted blood testing and blood pressure (BP) measuring by medical staff involving 1186 participants.
