As grip strength differed significantly between females and males, we ran fully adjusted models to test the main effects of HGS and an interaction between HGS and sex on MCI. The interaction term was significant between HGS and sex on incident MCI (Table S1), and all analyses were stratified...
Prior to the olfactory test, a series of pre-exam screening questions were carried out to determine any conditions that could potentially bias the test results, such as, runny nose, sinus pain, or nasal blockage. The eight odorants (a-chocolate, b-strawberry, c-smoke, d-leather, e-soap,...
Behavioral test. The mice of four groups at 0, 3 and 6 months age were trained and then tested on a battery of behavioral tests that were comprised of swim tank (swimming, motivation and coordination) and rotarod (coordination, balance and neuro-muscular strength) tests55,56. Swim tank...
proactive balance (i.e., Functional Reach Test; Timed Up and Go Test), reactive balance (i.e., perturbation test during bipedal stance; Push and Release Test), strength (i.e., hand grip strength test; Chair Stand Test), and power (i.e., Stair Climb Power Test; countermovement jump)...
(NMR) measurements and pseudo-triaxial compression test for tight sandstones. The relationship between the compressive strength and the NMR obtained parameters are investigated completely, aiming for a better estimation of the compressive strength using the NMR data. The result shows that the rock’s ...
In order to ensure the reliability of the test, each participant had to perform the tests with their arm extended and their hand attached to their hip. A 4-s maximal voluntary contraction was fixed as a necessary requirement. The evaluations began with the right arm and after a rest period...
Post hoc tests were completed using emmeans, adjusted using Tukey's test for multiple comparisons. We used the vegan package [51] for multivariate statistics to analyze the 16S rRNA Illumina data. Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) was performed using the decostand function for ordination ...
