Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Frailty is common in older adults; however, the central nervous system mechanisms underlying the differences between obesity and underweight remain unclear. This study investigated brain volume in frail, cognitively normal, community-dwelling older adults across three body mass index (BMI) groups: low (< 18.5), intermediate (18.5-24.9), and high (≥ 25.0). Whole and regional brain volumes were measured and analyzed. Among 3,627 participants, those in the high BMI group (n = 1,134) had significantly lower multivariate-adjusted total brain volume (66.8% vs. 67.3%, p < 0.001) and gray matter volume (36.1% vs. 36.6%, p < 0.001) than participants in the intermediate BMI group (n = 2,274). Volume differences were observed in the frontal, parietal, temporal, and cingulate cortices, as well as the hippocampal gyrus; amygdala; superior, middle, and inferior temporal gyri; temporal pole; parahippocampal gyrus; and cuneus. Compared with the intermediate BMI group, the low BMI group (n = 219) presented a significantly lower volume in the middle temporal gyrus (1.91% vs. 1.95%, p = 0.008). These findings indicate that older adults with frailty experience differences in brain volume, with atrophy patterns differing based on BMI. Therefore, the central nervous system dysfunction may play a role in the mechanisms underlying frailty.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
