Objective To explore the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and frailty among community aged people. Methods A total of 1571 aged people in two communities in Zhengzhou, Henan, China were recruited by convenience sampling method. They were divided into normal group, overweight group and obesity group according to BMI, and were assessed with Fried Frailty Criteria. Results The rates of overweight and obesity were 38.6%and 10.9%, respectively. There was significant difference in the level of frailty among dif-ferent groups (χ2=86.659, P<0.001). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that overweight and obesity were independent risk fac-tors of pre-frailty (P<0.05), and obesity was the independent risk factor of frailty (P<0.05). Conclusion The prevalence of overweight and obesity was higher in community aged people in Zhengzhou, and normal BMI was important to postpone the process of frailty.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the image quality of three-dimensional time-of-flight (TOF) magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) with sparse undersampling and iterative reconstruction (sparse TOF) with that of conventional TOF MRA. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study included 56 patients who had undergone sparse TOF MRA for intracranial artery evaluation on a 3T MR scanner. Conventional TOF MRA scans were also acquired from 29 patients with matched acquisition times and another 27 patients with matched scanning parameters. The image quality was scored using a five-point scale based on the delineation of arterial vessel segments, artifacts, overall vessel visualization, and overall image quality by two radiologists independently, and the data were analyzed using the non-parametric Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Contrast ratios (CRs) of vessels were compared using the paired t test. Interobserver agreement was calculated using the kappa test. RESULTS: Compared with conventional TOF at the same spatial resolution, sparse TOF with an acceleration factor of 3.5 could reduce acquisition time by 40% and showed comparable image quality. In addition, when compared with conventional TOF with the same acquisition time, sparse TOF with an acceleration factor of 5 could also achieve higher spatial resolution, better delineation of vessel segments, fewer artifacts, higher image quality, and a higher CR (p < 0.05). Good-to-excellent interobserver agreement (κ: 0.65–1.00) was obtained between the two radiologists. CONCLUSION: Compared with conventional TOF, sparse TOF can achieve equivalent image quality in a reduced duration. Furthermore, using the same acquisition time, sparse TOF could improve the delineation of vessels and decrease image artifacts.
