A review of balance and gait capacities in relation to falls in persons with intellectual disability
L Enkelaar, E Smulders… - Research in …, 2012 - Elsevier
Limitations in mobility are common in persons with intellectual disabilities (ID). As balance

Disparities in the pace of biological aging among midlife adults of the same chronological age have implications for future frailty risk and policy
Some humans age faster than others. Variation in biological aging can be measured in
midlife, but the implications of this variation are poorly understood. We tested associations …

Quantification of the pace of biological aging in humans through a blood test, the DunedinPoAm DNA methylation algorithm
Biological aging is the gradual, progressive decline in system integrity that occurs with
advancing chronological age, causing morbidity and disability. Measurements of the pace of …

Eleven telomere, epigenetic clock, and biomarker-composite quantifications of biological aging: do they measure the same thing?
The geroscience hypothesis posits that therapies to slow biological processes of aging can
prevent disease and extend healthy years of life. To test such “geroprotective” therapies in …

Properties of the 'timed up and go'test: more than meets the eye
Background: The 'timed up and go'test (TUG) is a simple, quick and widely used clinical
performance-based measure of lower extremity function, mobility and fall risk. We …

Effects of 8 weeks of balance training, virtual reality training, and combined exercise on lower limb muscle strength, balance, and functional mobility among older men …
Background: Poor muscle strength, balance, and functional mobility have predicted falls in
older adults. Fall prevention guidelines recommend highly challenging balance training …
