Development and Psychometric Evaluation of the Physio-Cognitive Decline Syndrome Instrument for Community-Dwelling Middle-Aged and Older Adults

Fang-Wen HU, Kah Ying YAP, Pei-Lun HSIEH

Background: Physio-cognitive decline syndrome, involving the simultaneous deterioration of physical and cognitive functions, poses a significant threat to healthy aging. The World Health Organization’s Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE) framework emphasizes the importance of integrated, person-centered care in maintaining intrinsic capacity, making it important to understand physio-cognitive decline syndrome. However, there is a lack of validated instruments designed to assess this multidimensional condition …

Who leads exercise for older adults? A comparative policy and workforce analysis of older adult exercise leadership in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, and Singapore

Yi Chen Chiu, Ya Chun Shen

Background As population aging accelerates across Asia, exercise services for older adults must address not only participation but also which professionals should provide support for individuals with different health and functional needs. Methods This study used an integrative review and comparative institutional analysis to examine workforce arrangements for older adult exercise services in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, and Singapore. Twenty-three academic and gray-literature sources were identified through a PRISMA-S …

Millicent Bowden

Individuals with advanced dementia are at high risk of experiencing pain, yet assessment and management remain complex due to impaired communication and reliance on behavioural indicators. This article considers the strengths and limitations of behavioural pain assessment tools, alongside pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches to management. Recommendations for nursing practice emphasise cautious use of validated tools, involvement of family carers, and holistic, person-centred care that combines therap …

Low Prevalence and Abundance of Akkermansia in Older Japanese Adults: Inverse Association with a Noodle-Based Dietary Pattern but Not with Physical Function

Yuji Naito, Hiroaki Kitae, Katsura Mizushima, Norihiro Ouchi, Atsuo Adachi, Tadaaki Kamitani, Jin Narumoto, Tomoya Kitani, Satoaki Matoba, Ryo Inoue, Tomohisa Takagi

Akkermansia muciniphila is regarded as a beneficial mucin-degrading commensal, yet in Japanese populations the genus Akkermansia occurs at low abundance and is frequently undetectable. We examined its dietary correlates and its relationship with physical function in 786 community-dwelling older Japanese adults (age ≥ 65 years). Dietary patterns were derived from 31 food groups by principal component analysis (PCA) with varimax rotation, and Akkermansia was quantified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and expressed as cen …

Enhancing brain health through resistance exercise: the effect of set number and intensity on brain- derived neurotrophic factor in older adults

Hung-Ting Chen, Chia-Ling Chen, Chiou-Feng Lin, Yu-Chun Chung

Background This study investigated the impact of single sessions of resistance exercise with varying training intensities and doses on serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels in older adults. Methods Nine older women aged ≥65 years were recruited for a study employing a balanced-order research design, which allowed for more robust comparisons of different resistance training modalities. All the participants completed four resistance training modalities: low-set high-intensity (LsHi), high-set high-int …

The key people paradox: human capital vulnerability in smaller voluntary sport organisations

Lindsay Findlay-King

Smaller voluntary sector organisations are increasingly expected to deliver community services, yet research into their distinctive vulnerabilities remains limited. Within UK sport, community asset transfer policies have shifted responsibility for managing local facilities from local government to voluntary organisations. These organisations depend heavily on small numbers of committed individuals, yet non-profit vulnerability research has focused on financial indicators, neglecting risks when survival depends on i …

Geriatric assessment–integrated prediction model for postoperative deep vein thrombosis in older adults undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate: retrospective cohort study

Jiaran Zhang, Yuru Yan, Wei Zhou, Hanyu Xin

Background Postoperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is an important complication in older patients undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Although associations between geriatric vulnerability and thrombosis are established, these domains are not routinely integrated into TURP-specific risk assessment. We therefore evaluated whether preoperative geriatric assessment (GA) domains add predictive information to age-adjusted D-dimer in this setting. Methods In this retrospective single-center cohort …

Perspectives of Healthcare Providers and Managers on Older Adults’ Transition to a Long-Term Care Facility in the Côte-Nord Region of Quebec

Mélanie Le Berre, Fanny Leblanc, Mathieu Hotton, Marie-Pierre Gagnon, Félix Pageau, Émilie Dionne, Marie-Soleil Hardy, Maxime Sasseville, Samira Amil, Manon Cody, Louise Bertrand, André Côté, Maude Laberge

Background/Objectives: Older adults’ transitions to long-term care facilities (LTCFs) are complex. In Quebec, Canada, recent policies promoted LTCFs as living environments. The Life Story questionnaire was suggested as one tool to support this shift. In addition, rural regions may face specific barriers to successful transitions to LTCFs. The Côte-Nord region, with a vast territory and a low population density, offers a distinctly rural setting. The objective of this study was therefore to describe healthcare provi …

Abstract Purpose Vitamin K is hypothesised to support vascular integrity and neuronal function through vitamin K-dependent proteins, yet epidemiological evidence for its role in dementia, particularly distinguishing vitamin K1 and K2, is limited. This aetiological study examined associations between dietary vitamin K1 and K2 with incident dementia in a large Danish cohort. Methods We included 54,968 dementia-free participants (47.5% male, aged 50–65 years) from the Danish Diet, Cancer, and Health cohort (1993–1997) …

Artificial intelligence and machine learning in immunosenescence: from biomarker discovery to clinical translation

Xi Chen, Yan Han, Ruixuan Zhang, Xinyang Huang, Jinwu Liu, Hanxu Xie, Ling Teng, Chen Han, Ziqi He, Zimeng Yang, Shihan Huang, Jianhui Yan

The global population is undergoing unprecedented aging, with immunosenescence established as a core upstream driver of nearly all age-related chronic diseases, imposing a massive global clinical burden. For decades, immunosenescence research has been mired in three persistent translational bottlenecks: inability to capture interindividual immune aging heterogeneity, failure to decode complex multi-layered biological regulatory networks, and inefficient therapeutic development pipelines. Artificial intelligence (AI …

Therese Stien, Lise-Lotte Jonasson, Karin Josefsson

Abstract Background Older adults in municipal home healthcare receive allocated care, including personal hygiene, nutritional aid, medication, and wound care. Care staff in this sector are a diverse group, comprising both educated and uneducated personnel. Registered nurses (RNs) lead the care close to older adults. Leadership is recognized as influencing a group towards a common goal and affects patient safety and the quality of care.

How do people view income inequality in China? An interactive framework of inequality and economic growth

Shiyuan Li, Airan Liu

Abstract Economic inequality has become a pressing societal challenge worldwide, yet less is known about how individuals perceive and evaluate it. Drawing on longitudinal data from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS 2012–2018), this study uses modified hierarchical linear models to examine how objective inequality interacts with economic growth in shaping subjective inequality. The results show, first, that the average association between objective inequality and respondents’ severity ratings of inequality (SRI) …
