New paper by Clarice Martins et al., University of Porto 🇵🇹, with @lisabarnettphd.bsky.social. Age- and sex-specific percentile curves for TGMD-2 & TGMD-3 developed from 7,263 children (3–5 yrs) across 13 countries 🌐, providing benchmarks for assessing motor competence and guiding early interventions

Our new editorial in Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience underscores the potential of cognitive frailty as a dynamic and reversible state, advocating for early detection, personalised care, and integrated assessments that go beyond traditional cognitive tests. doi.org/10.3389/fnag...
