Loneliness among community-dwelling older adults across biological, clinical and psychosocial domains before and during the COVID-19 pandemic: a systematic review

Georgia Casanova, Giorgia Fattorini, Sara Santini, Marta Balietti, Ilaria Barboni, Robertina Giacconi, Giovanni Lamura

Background Loneliness is a subjective and distressing experience resulting from a discrepancy between desired and actual social relationships and represents an important public health concern among community-dwelling older adults. Although it can occur throughout the life course, older adults are particularly vulnerable because of age-related conditions such as multimorbidity, mobility limitations, sensory impairments, widowhood, and retirement. These factors highlight the need to understand loneliness as a multifa …

Aging-Induced Physicochemical Changes in Petroleum- and Biobased Microplastics Influence Depolymerization and Gut Microbiota in Tenebrio molitor Larvae

Yuan Tian, Meng-Qi Ding, Jie Ding, Xin-Ran Ren, Sheng-Qiang Fan, Bing-Feng Liu, De-Feng Xing, Lei Zhao, Zhi-Rong Zhang, Lu-Yan Zhang, Nan-Qi Ren, Shan-Shan Yang

In this study, we evaluated the influence of physicochemical aging on the biological processing and depolymerization performance of polyethylene (PE) and polylactic acid (PLA) by Tenebrio molitor larvae, with the goal of improving insect-based plastic treatment strategies. PE and PLA subjected to a sequential freezing–ultraviolet aging protocol showed modest increases in total larval consumption (approximately 11% for PE and 10% for PLA) compared with pristine materials. Aging also accelerated the processes related …

The Persistence of Social Power in Post-Catholic Ireland: A New Historicist Study of Sally Rooney's Normal People

Husein Asadus Shahra, Karina Hanum Luthfia

This study aims to examine how social power persists in post-Catholic Ireland as represented in Sally Rooney's Normal People (2018). Set against the backdrop of Ireland’s transition from a society strongly influenced by Catholic authority to a more liberal and secular social order, the novel reveals that the decline of religious influence does not necessarily eliminate mechanisms of social control. Using a qualitative descriptive method and Stephen Greenblatt’s New Historicist approach, this study analyzes how expe …

The relationship between the digital divide and self-rated health among older adults: The mediating effect of depression

Bo Ram Choi

Digital transformation has increased the importance of digital technology in daily life, yet older adults remain vulnerable to the digital divide. Limited digital access and competency may restrict opportunities to obtain health information and utilize services, potentially affecting mental health and self-rated health. This study examined the relationship between the digital divide and self-rated health among older adults and investigated the mediating effect of depression. This cross-sectional study used data fro …

Dementia Caregivers' Preferences for Involvement in Delirium Care During Hospitalization

Blair P. Golden, Brooke Johnson, Laura Block, Clark Benson, Kristin Merss, Kellia J. Hansmann, Gina Green‐Harris, Sharon K. Inouye, Andrea Gilmore‐Bykovskyi

ABSTRACT Background Nearly half of hospitalized adults with dementia develop delirium superimposed on dementia (DSD), which is associated with adverse outcomes. Family caregivers play an essential role in preventing, identifying, and responding to DSD, yet relatively little is known about how caregivers experience and respond to acute cognitive changes during illness and their preferences for involvement in DSD care. Methods We performed a qualitative study of caregivers ( N = 22) for patients with dementia admitte …

Effects of daily intake of cacao polyphenols, alone or with milk protein, on skeletal muscle mass in community-dwelling older adults: an exploratory 16-week randomized, open-label, parallel-group trial

Tetsuzen Rin, Midori Natsume, Kaori Iwasawa, Chiharu Iwasaka, Akane Haseda, Hiroyo Kagami-Katsuyama, Naoyuki Honma, Jun Nishihira

Abstract Background Evidence on food-based strategies to maintain muscle-related body composition in older adults under habitual lifestyle conditions is limited. Cacao flavanols may influence vascular and redox pathways, whereas milk protein provides amino acids relevant to muscle protein synthesis. We examined whether daily high-cacao chocolate, alone or with a protein-enriched milk beverage, affected body composition in community-dwelling older adults. Methods This exploratory 16-week randomized, open-label, para …

Deep learning maps local brain aging in relation to cognition across human adulthood

Nikhil N. Chaudhari, Owen M. Vega Huerta, Samayan Bhattacharya, Nahian F. Chowdhury, Andrei Irimia, the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative

Brain aging, the strongest risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), varies across cortical regions. Global brain age (GBA), an imaging-derived measure of neuroanatomic decline, reduces structural aging to a single summary value. This can potentially obscure regional patterns of cognitive vulnerability preceding AD. This study introduces a deep-learning architecture trained on the T 1 -weighted MRIs of 14,748 cognitively normal (CN) participants from multiple sites to estimate local brain age (LBA) at voxel level. …

Can a Low‐Threshold Check‐Up Motivate Older Adults to Schedule a Dental Visit? A Randomized Controlled Trial

Aster De Vleeschauwer, Roos Colman, Peter Pype, Louise Poppe, Barbara Janssens

ABSTRACT Objectives Oral disorders are an important disability driver in adults aged 70 and older, who often experience greater tooth loss and higher levels of untreated oral disease than younger persons. Despite the importance of regular dental visits, older adults attend dental services less frequently, facing several barriers. This study aimed to evaluate whether a low‐threshold dental screening could increase the likelihood that older adults (≥ 65 years) contact a dental professional. Methods A total of 194 com …

ENVELHECIMENTO POPULACIONAL E DOENÇAS CRÔNICAS: A NECESSIDADE DE UM NOVO MODELO DE ATENÇÃO QUE VALORIZE A ATENÇÃO PRIMÁRIA COMO COORDENADORA DO CUIDADO E O AUTOCUIDADO SUPERVISIONADO

Linda Inês Nascimento Nunes, Fernanda Jardim Molina, Renato Boy De Oliveira, André Lucas Nogueira Dantas, Luana Gama Belém, Glaucia Ribeiro Gonçalves De Rezende, Hugo Hermínio Abdon Gonçalves, Larissa Leão Batista Caxito

O Brasil vivencia um acelerado processo de envelhecimento populacional, acompanhado de uma transição epidemiológica na qual as doenças crônicas não transmissíveis assumem posição predominante. Esse duplo movimento impõe ao sistema de saúde a necessidade de repensar seu modelo de atenção, historicamente organizado em torno de eventos agudos e da lógica hospitalar. Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar a necessidade de um novo modelo de atenção à saúde da pessoa idosa com doenças crônicas, que valorize a atenção prim …

Elective admissions and treatments in the final three months of life: a nationwide retrospective study of older adults

Sofie Rutten, Joost W van den Berg, Rob D van der Mei, Bianca M Buurman, Hanna C Willems

Abstract Purpose Research on potentially inappropriate care at the end of life in older adults rarely distinguishes between acute and elective care. As elective care is plannable, it allows for timely deliberation on its appropriateness. This study aimed to explore elective hospital care and specific elective treatments in the final three months of life to identify areas warranting re-evaluation. Methods A nationwide retrospective observational study was conducted using linked administrative data, including data fr …

Aging anxiety and menopause-specific quality of life: the parallel mediating roles of self-efficacy and self-acceptance

Jungmi Kang

Background Menopause is a significant life transition during which women experience both physical and psychological changes. Aging anxiety has been identified as a key psychological factor that may negatively affect menopause-specific quality of life. However, the mediating roles of self-efficacy and self-acceptance in the relationship between aging anxiety and quality of life have not been sufficiently examined. Objective This study aimed to examine the parallel mediating roles of self-efficacy and self-acceptance …
