The Group-based trajectory modeling (GBTM) was adopted to identify the potential heterogeneity of longitudinal changes over the past 5 years and to investigate the relationship between baseline BMI and trajectories of cognitive function. Three trajectories were identified in results: the slow decline (...
systems’ approach30,31when moving, body schema is discussed as a factor that influences motor control31in general, and postural control more specifically33,34. Moreover, body schema and body image have been discussed to interact with each other in a co-constructive manner and reshape one ...
