“…To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first to have (i) estimated the prevalence of a large number of frailty parameters among middle-aged community-dwellers (aged 50–65) and (ii) evidenced associations with adverse events. Most previous studies focused on older (over-65) participants or considered a small number of criteria (either the five CHS criteria or a few specific parameters), and none investigated the parameters’ prognostic value in multivariate models 8 , 9 , 13 – 21 . Although the frailty parameters were associated with adverse health events, the parameters’ clinical significance among younger adults may differ from that among older adults.…”

“…Although the early detection of frailty is potentially important (since the condition might be reversible in its early stages) 11 , 12 , the prevalence of various components of frailty assessments (hereafter referred to as “frailty parameters”) among middle-aged populations and the parameters’ relationships with further adverse events have not been extensively documented in the literature. Most of the literature studies have focused on older adults or on a small number of frailty parameters, and none investigated the parameters’ prognostic value in multivariate models 1 , 8 , 9 , 13 – 21 .…”

Although frailty can arise in middle age, very few studies have investigated frailty before 65 years. Our objectives were to assess the prevalence of frailty parameters in middle-aged individuals and probe the association with future adverse events. We performed cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses of community-dwelling individuals aged 50 to 65 (n = 411, median age: 59.0) having undergone a multidomain geriatric assessment (2010–2015) in an outpatient clinic in the greater Paris area of France (SUCCEED cohort). The primary outcome was a composite measure of adverse events (non-accidental falls, fractures, unplanned hospitalizations, death), recorded in 2016/2017. Multivariable logistic regression models were built to identify independent predictors. Six frailty parameters were highly prevalent (> 20%): low activity (40.1%), exhaustion (31.3%), living alone (28.5%), balance impairment (26.8%), weakness (26.7%), and executive dysfunction (23.2%). Female sex (odds ratio: 2.67 [95% confidence interval: 1.17–6.11]), living alone (2.39 [1.32–4.33]), balance impairment (2.09 [1.16–3.78]), executive dysfunction (2.61, [1.18–5.77]), and exhaustion (2.98 [1.65–5.39]) were independent predictors of adverse events. Many frailty parameters are already altered in middle-aged individuals and are predictive of adverse health events. Our findings highlight a possible need for frailty screening and preventive programs targeting middle-aged individuals.

“…In the current study, the IPS was the best balancing test in comparison with other balancing tests in terms of showing the broadest association with the cognitive domains measured (data not shown). The IPS is characterized by high correlation with the Berg balance scale, high reproducibility, and not having a ceiling effect [ 33 ]. In addition, the degree of difficulty in the IPS may have been suitable compared with other balance tests in middle-aged individuals.…”

“…TUG was performed as follows: the participant stood up from a chair without elbow rests and walked 3 meters forward and back as quickly as possible [ 32 ]. IPS was measured using a stabilometer (GP-6000, Anima, Tokyo, Japan) as described elsewhere [ 33 ]. First, participants stood in a resting position with the inside of the foot at a distance of 10 cm on the stabilometer to measure instantaneous fluctuations in the center of pressure (COP) at a sampling frequency of 20 Hz.…”

Aim. We investigated the relationship between cognitive function and olfactory and physical functions in middle-aged persons with and without type 2 diabetes (T2D) to examine the potential of olfactory and physical functions as biomarkers for early cognitive impairment. Methods. Enrolled were 70 T2D patients (age 40 to <65 y) and 81 age-matched control participants without diabetes. Cognitive function was assessed by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Trail Making Test parts A and B (TMT-A/-B), Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST), Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology Self-Report (QIDS), and Starkstein Apathy Scale (SAS). Multiple linear regression analyses were performed. Results. Odor identification was an independent determinant shown in the results of the TMT-A in the entire participant group and was independently associated with the MoCA and TMT-B in the T2D group. Balance capability assessed with a stabilometer was independently associated with all cognitive function tests except for QISD and SAS in the entire participant group and the T2D group and was independently associated with TMT-A in the control group. Knee extension strength was independently associated with the SAS in the entire participant group and the T2D group. Conclusions. Odor identification, balance capability, and knee extension strength were potential markers for cognitive decline in middle-aged persons with T2D.

“…The Index of postural stability (IPS) was evaluated while barefoot and while wearing shoes with insoles. The IPS measurement was carried out according to the previous study 5,6) . From the measurements, IPS was calculated as "log[(area of stability limit + area of postural sway)/area of postural sway]."…”

This study examined characteristics of dynamic standing balance, with an without an insole, in patients with spastic diplegia cerebral palsy (CP). [Participants and Methods] This cross-sectional study used a crossover design. Eleven patients with spastic diplegia CP and gross motor levels between I and III with spastic diplegia CP (according to the Gross Motor Function Classification System expanded and revised version) were randomly allocated to either the barefoot or insole groups. The Index of postural stability (IPS) was evaluated while each patient was barefoot and while wearing insoles. The Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI) was used to measure functional self-care and mobility domains. [Results] While wearing the insoles, the center movement distance between right and left positions was significantly higher. While barefoot, IPS and area of postural sway correlated with the PEDI subscales for mobility and self-care. [Conclusion] Insoles promote standing balance and dynamic balance to move the center of pressure within the base of support. Such improvements may enhance activities of daily living in patients with spastic diplegia CP.
