Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) polymorphism predicts rapid gait changes in healthy older adults
Sprague, B. N., Rosso, A. L., Zhu, X., Bohnen, N. I., & Rosano, C. (in press). Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) polymorphism predicts rapid gait changes in healthy older adults. Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, epub ahead of print. doi: 10.1111/jgs.17351
Including a tweet by JAGS!
The ability to adapt one’s gait is important for safe everyday mobility. New work suggests dopamine may play a role in one’s ability to maintain this skill over time. #geriatricshttps://t.co/ObbbqOOvx1 pic.twitter.com/fLvOG7Txtk

Running on fumes may be detrimental to your health! Greater declines in self-reported energy are associated with greater incident mobility disability, mortality risk among older adults. #geriatricshttps://t.co/zOXN7XEaiB pic.twitter.com/6QkwfMJ1Fp
