We created a joint scale based on all items with a total score range of 0–125 (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.80, for wave 5 and Cronbach’s alpha = 0.76, for wave 6). The higher the score, the higher the participant’s cognitive ability78. These cognitive measures are validated ...

Self-reported knee instability was defined as the perception of any episode of buckling, shifting, or giving way of the knee in the past 3months. Knee pain was assessed using a numeric rating scale, and knee extensor and flexor strength were measured using an isokinetic dynamometer. Activity ...
Standing height was collected with a fixed stadiometer and absolute body mass was measured with a digital scale (Mettler-Toledo International Inc.; Columbus, OH). Body mass index (BMI) was calculated as body mass in kilograms divided by height in meters-squared (kg/m2). Persons classified as...

With the discovery of existing circulating cell-free fetal DNA (ccffDNA) in maternal plasma and the advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology, there is substantial hope that prenatal diagnosis will become a predominately non-invasive process
