Half a Marathon a Day: Excessive Walking in People With Dementia Living in Long-Term Care Facilities
People with dementia in general walk less compared to people without cognitive impairment resulting from a lack of initiative and a decline of executive functioning.1 Two studies in community dwelling people with dementia showed an average around 3000 steps/day.2,3 In long-term care facilities (LTCFs), however, we assume there is a group of residents with dementia who daily walk impressive distances and are expected to have a high energy expenditure. To our knowledge, this has not been quantified to date. (Source: Journal of the American Medical Directors Association)

A Mendelian Randomization Study Supports Bidirectional Causal Associations Between Hearing Loss and Frailty
We read with great interest a recent study conducted by Assi et  al.1 that proposed an association of hearing loss and hearing aid user with increased likelihood of frailty among older adults in 4 community cohorts. However, because of the cross-sectional nature of this study and potential confounding factors, establishing the causality may pose a challenge. Co nducting a more thorough investigation and comprehensive assessment of the unvouched causal effects would greatly enhance the understanding of the exact correlations between hearing impairment and frailty, thereby offering invaluable insights for its clinical manag...
