For older adults, playing video games can support cognitive function and memory.

It can also provide relief for symptoms of depression and stress.

And for those who have never played video games, it could be a way to learn something new- & spend time with a grandchild.

Changes in memory do not necessarily mean Alzheimer’s disease. In Alzheimer’s disease, changes are typically larger- like forgetting the name of your grandchild or not knowing where to go even though you’ve been there many times. We may also see aggression or changes in personality.

Our paper on Biomarker Signatures for Slow Gait Speed in Older Adults, is available : www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Elevated levels of circulating IL-6, CRP, HbA1c, and IL-8 predicted low gait speed.

Our study on blood biomarkers and gait speed in older adults has been accepted in Brain, Behavior, and Immunity!

We used machine learning to identify key biomarkers (like IL-6 and CRP) that predict slow gait speed. Full details coming soon.
