Abstract

Introduction: To report clinical predictors of transition to dementia in motoric cognitive risk syndrome (MCR), a predementia syndrome characterized by cognitive complaints and slow gait. Methods: We examined if cognitive or motoric impairments predicted transition to dementia in 610 older adults with MCR from three cohorts. Association of cognitive (logical memory, clinical dementia rating, cognitive complaint severity, and Mini–Mental State Examination) and motoric factors (gait velocity) with dementia risk was computed using Cox models. Results: There were 156 incident dementias (134 Alzheimer's disease). In the pooled sample, logical memory (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 0.91), cognitive complaint severity (aHR 1.53), and Mini–Mental State Examination (aHR 0.75) predicted transition of MCR to dementia. Clinical dementia rating score ≥0.5 predicted dementia (aHR 3.18) in one cohort. Gait velocity did not predict dementia. Discussion: While MCR is a motoric‐based predementia syndrome, severity of cognitive but not motoric impairments predicts conversion to dementia.

  • The STAMINA study was a 12-week, single-arm, open-label, pre-post pilot study in 12 older adults with slow gait speed and MCI.

    “The STAMINA (Senolytics To Alleviate Mobility Issues and Neurological Impairments in Ageing) study is a 12-week, single-arm, open-label, pre-post pilot study implementing intermittent doses of DQ in 12 older adults aged ≥65 years with slow gait speed and MCI, which are both precursors to the development of Alzheimer’s disease.”

    From A pilot study of senolytics to improve cognition and mobility in older adults at risk for Alzheimer's disease (2025) · cites this paper as [9]

    The Methods describe an analysis of three aging cohorts, not a STAMINA pilot study. Searches for STAMINA, its 12-week design, and intermittent DQ dosing found no passage addressing the claimed trial. The Introduction discusses slow gait and dementia risk, but does not establish the study details in the claim. (LLM, conf=0.76)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
