Exploring concepts and trends in informal caregiver burden: systematic review using citation network and content analysis
CONCLUSION: For future studies, we suggest considering the intersectionality of factors contributing to the burden on informal caregivers. This approach could enhance the well-being of both caregivers and older care recipients.PMID:37907665 | DOI:10.1007/s40520-023-02582-w (Source: Aging Clinical and Experimental Research)

Differential eye movement features between Alzheimer's disease patients with and without depressive symptoms
CONCLUSIONS: Eye movement differences may help to differentiate D-AD patients from nD-AD patients in a non-invasive and cost-effective manner.PMID:37910289 | DOI:10.1007/s40520-023-02595-5 (Source: Aging Clinical and Experimental Research)

The "Little Circles Test" (LCT): a dusted-off tool for assessing fine visuomotor function
CONCLUSIONS: This study proposes the initial standardization of a versatile, time-efficient, and cost-effective neuropsychological tool for assessing fine visuomotor coordination. We propose renaming the VMSPT as the more approachable "Little Circles Test" (LCT).PMID:37910290 | DOI:10.1007/s40520-023-02571-z (Source: Aging Clinical and Experimental Research)

Advances in mobility aid use reporting: situational context and objective measurement improve understanding of daily aid use in older adults
CONCLUSIONS: Enhanced subjective aid use reporting and objective measurements of walking and aid use may improve aid prescription and inform intervention to support safe and effective mobility in older adults.PMID:37907663 | DOI:10.1007/s40520-023-02533-5 (Source: Aging Clinical and Experimental Research)

Lower gastrocnemius muscle stiffness, derived from elastography, is an independent factor for falls in older adults
CONCLUSION: This is the first study to reveal the relationship between falls and SWE-defined lower GCM stiffness independently of muscle mass and strength.PMID:37907664 | DOI:10.1007/s40520-023-02605-6 (Source: Aging Clinical and Experimental Research)
