Anthropometric age gap

2 papers10 findings

A human study associates anthropometric age gap with neurodegenerative disease, osteoporosis and connective tissue disease after adjustment for age, sex and race. It also reports mediation between osteoporosis and muscle strength, and between neurodegenerative disease and rapid gait speed.
