Motoric Cognitive Risk Syndrome in Chinese Older Adults: Prevalence and Outcomes

A cross-sectional analysis of 5,242 participants aged 60+ from the CHARLS study, with a 3-year prospective follow-up. The dataset, published by figshare admin karger in 2026, investigates the prevalence, associated factors, and adverse outcomes of motoric cognitive risk syndrome (MCR) among community-dwelling older adults in China.

Use Cases

• Predicting MCR prevalence based on physical performance measures like the five-time sit-to-stand test and handgrip strength.
• Analyzing the association between social factors (education, social activity) and cognitive risk syndrome.
• Modeling the prospective risk of activities of daily living (ADL) disability based on MCR status.
• Ranking feature importance for MCR classification using methods like XGBoost as described in the study.

Strengths

• Includes data from a large cohort of 5,242 participants.
• Features a 3-year prospective follow-up for outcome evaluation.
• Analysis employed multiple methods including Boruta feature selection and XGBoost classification.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is provided as a 1.5 MB DOCX file, which may require conversion for analysis.
