Adiposity and Cognitive Performance in Older Men and Women from the Study of Muscle, Mobility and Aging (SOMMA)

BACKGROUND: Aging is accompanied by changes in body composition and cognition. Although adiposity has been linked to metabolic dysfunction and dementia risk, associations with specific cognitive domains in later life remain unclear. METHODS: This cross-sectional study examined as...

Greater D3-Creatine Muscle Mass and MRI Thigh Muscle Volume are Associated with Higher Bone Strength in Older Adults: Exploratory Findings in The Study of Muscle, Mobility and Aging (SOMMA)

Abstract Low bone mineral density (BMD) and impaired bone strength are established risk factors for fractures in older adults. Decreased muscle size also contributes to fracture risk, however, the relationship between muscle size and bone density, microarchitecture, and strength...
