Summary: The reward system dysfunction, including reduced dopamine and glutamate activities and loss of neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA), during aging may contribute to cognitive and motoric frailty and accelerate the progression of neurodegenerative diseases.

Summary: MCR and SG-A are associated with global cognitive decline, particularly in non-memory domains, and lower functional scores. The prevalence of MCR increases with age, especially among elderly females. The SG prevalence is highest in the Malay ethnic group.

Summary: This study revealed distinct metabolic subtypes of pre-dementia syndrome MCR, with subjective cognitive complaints (SCCs) and slow gait (SG) leading to different metabolic changes in the development of MCR.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the associations between sarcopenia, sarcopenia parameters, and Motoric Cognitive Risk Syndrome (MCR) among Chinese older adults. The results indicated that sarcopenia, lower handgrip strength (HGS), and longer five-times sit-to-stand test time (FTSSTT) were significantly associated with a higher risk of MCR. Additionally, the relationship between HGS and MCR was found to be linear, while the relationship between FTSSTT and MCR was nonlinear.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association and potential pathways between sarcopenia and motoric cognitive risk syndrome (MCR) in community elderly individuals. The results showed that sarcopenia was associated with MCR, and apathy symptoms partially mediated this relationship. Physical activity played a moderating role, as increasing physical activity could alleviate the indirect effect of sarcopenia on MCR.

Summary: Higher CRP levels are associated with increased odds of prevalent MCR-MI but not MCR-non-MI among community-dwelling older adults.

Summary: This study assessed the relationship between multimorbidity and motoric cognitive risk syndrome (MCR), and found a positive association between multimorbidity and MCR. Older adults with cardiovascular multimorbidity had the highest risk of developing MCR.

Summary: This longitudinal study found that a single fall was associated with incident motoric cognitive risk (MCR) at baseline and increased the likelihood of developing MCR over time among older Chinese adults. This association remained significant even after controlling for various factors. Falls may be a useful indicator for predicting future MCR risk in this population.

Summary: This study aimed to analyze the overall prevalence and associated characteristics of MCR among older adults. By analyzing data from 62 studies, it was found that MCR is relatively common among older adults and is influenced by various epidemiological characteristics.

Summary: In older individuals, changes in the gut microbiota due to aging may accelerate the progression of neurodegenerative diseases, particularly in cognitive and motor function. Hospitalization stress can lead to dysbiosis and negative clinical outcomes. The interaction between liver dysfunction and gut microbiota represents a promising marker for prognostic trajectories in older patients.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the associations between social isolation, loneliness, and motoric cognitive risk syndrome (MCR) among older adults in China. Loneliness is positively associated with incident MCR among female older adults in China, while social isolation is not significantly associated.

Summary: This study examined the association between depression and motoric cognitive risk syndrome (MCR) and found that depression is an independent risk factor for MCR among community-dwelling Chinese older adults, particularly among females. These findings highlight the importance of providing special care for individuals with depression to reduce the occurrence of MCR and even dementia.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the cardiovascular and noncardiovascular factors associated with motoric cognitive risk syndrome (MCR). The results showed significant associations between MCR and cardiovascular factors such as diabetes, hypertension, stroke, obesity, smoking, as well as noncardiovascular factors including low education, sedentary lifestyle, and depression. Additionally, MCR was found to significantly increase the risk of incident dementia, cognitive impairment, falls, and mortality.

Summary: This study explored the association between sleep disturbance and MCR syndrome in elderly Chinese population and found that long night sleep duration, poor sleep quality, and taking sleep drugs were significantly associated with higher odds of having MCR syndrome. Further research is needed to explore the underlying mechanisms.
