Association of an Index of Healthy Aging With Incident Cardiovascular Disease and Mortality in a Community-Based Sample of Older Adults
Conclusions: In our large community-based sample, the HAI is a strong predictor of mortality and CVD. Other factors that are strongly associated with mortality, such as heart rate and CRP can improve the ability of the HAI to identify the healthiest older adults.

Blood Pressure Trajectory, Gait Speed, and Outcomes: The Health, Aging, and Body Composition Study
Conclusions: In this study, we found that the overall level of BP was associated with myocardial infarction, stroke, and death, and this association differed by baseline gait speed, whereas changes in BP were not associated with these outcomes.

Epidemiology of Shoe Wearing Patterns Over Time in Older Women: Associations With Foot Pain and Hallux Valgus
Conclusions: Women wear shoes with a lower heel and broader toe box as they age. Wearing constrictive footwear between the ages of 20 and 39 may be critical for developing hallux valgus in later life. (Source: Journals of Gerontology Series A: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences)

Motor Output Variability Impairs Driving Ability in Older Adults
Conclusions: This study provides novel evidence that age-related declines in motor control but not strength impair reactive driving. These findings have implications on rehabilitation and suggest that interventions should focus on improving motor control to enhance driving-related function in older adults.

Low Hemoglobin Concentrations Are Associated With Sarcopenia, Physical Performance, and Disability in Older Australian Men in Cross-sectional and Longitudinal Analysis: The Concord Health and Ageing in Men Project
Conclusion: Declines in Hb levels over time are associated with poor functional outcomes. The risks and benefits of interventions to increase Hb among older men warrant further investigation to differentiate whether this is an active contributor to age-related debility or a passive biomarker of it.

Cross-Sectional and Longitudinal Associations Between Adiposity and Walking Endurance in Adults Age 60-79
Conclusion: Excess weight and adiposity were associated with worse walking endurance in nondisabled persons aged 60–79 years and predicted accelerated decline in endurance in late mid-life adults. Weight management for mobility independence may be best targeted in obese persons approaching traditional retirement age.

Four Distinct Health Profiles in Older Patients With Cancer: Latent Class Analysis of the Prospective ELCAPA Cohort
Conclusion: We identified four health profiles that may help physicians select cancer treatments and geriatric interventions. Researchers may find these profiles useful for stratifying patients in clinical trials. (Source: Journals of Gerontology Series A: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences)

31P Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Assessment of Muscle Bioenergetics as a Predictor of Gait Speed in the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging
Conclusion: Muscle bioenergetics assessed using 31P-MRS is highly correlated with walking speed and partially explains age-related poorer performance in fast and long walking tasks. (Source: Journals of Gerontology Series A: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences)
