App-based health surveys are gaining traction, but how reliable are they for assessing complex conditions like frailty? This study linking abdominal obesity to increased frailty risk highlights the need for caution when interpreting data from self-reported ...
Patients with increased waist circumference are at higher risk of developing frailty, and this can be detected early using smartphone-based questionnaires. Incorporating waist circumference measurements into routine assessments can help identify at-risk ind...
Research on frailty and nutrition has surged since 2000, but crucial gaps remain. This analysis spotlights under-explored areas that demand urgent attention to improve geriatric care.
Frailty and nutrition are intertwined, yet research trends may overlook key aspects of this relationship. A bibliometric review highlights the exponential growth in publications but raises concerns about the scope and focus of current studies.
Elderly displacement intersects with frailty and multimorbidity, shaping healthcare use through disrupted continuity of care . In Israel, older Ukrainian arrivals showed concentrated primary care contact and medication renewal, indicating chronic disease ma...
Among older adults with dementia , oral health interventions face consistent barriers and facilitators that cut across settings. Caregiver-mediated delivery, behaviorally informed techniques, and community-based models repeatedly emerge as enabling strategi...
In dementia-focused oral health, community-delivered interventions face multilevel obstacles and enablers. A scoping synthesis maps patient, caregiver, provider, and system determinants, emphasizing cognitive workflows, caregiver capacity, and delivery logi...
In community-dwelling older adults with dementia , oral health interventions are often hindered by memory deficits, sensory sensitivities, and care fragmentation. A scoping synthesis identifies practical facilitators, including caregiver training, simplifie...
