Does Perceived Neighborhood Walkability Matter? Associations with Health and Functioning Among Community-Dwelling Portuguese Older Adults

Sara Rosa, Cristina Rakasi, Inês Sousa, Mariana Amaral, Anabela Correia Martins

Background: To date, there are no known published studies in Portugal that link the perceived neighborhood walkability of a specific geographical area to the functional capacity and social participation of older adults living in the community. Thus, the main objective of this study, conducted in Portugal, is to examine whether the perceived neighborhood walkability is associated with functional capacity, walking confidence, social participation, and exercise self-efficacy among community-dwelling older adults, ther …

Experimental Investigation on the Performance Degradation of TPO Waterproofing Membranes Under Coupled Thermo-Oxidative Aging and Freeze–Thaw Cycles

Jinsen Wang, Fangfang Wang, Jicheng Sun, Qingyang Li, Qi Ren, Guojun Sun

Thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) waterproofing membranes are widely used in building roofs and underground waterproofing systems, and their durability under complex service environments is critical to long-term waterproofing reliability. Self-adhesive TPO membranes from one production batch were evaluated in the unaged condition (C0) and after 5, 7, 14, and 28 complete coupled aging cycles (C5, C7, C14, and C28, respectively). Each complete cycle lasted 48 h; thus, C5, C7, C14, and C28 corresponded to total elapsed t …

Rethinking Aging in Place: The Role of Digital Technologies in Dementia Care

Cintia Ciórraga-Cazallas, Raquel Cervigón-Abad, Ana-Isabel Corregidor-Sánchez

Background: Dementia progressively affects occupational performance, social participation, autonomy, and quality of life among community-dwelling people. It also increases the need for support from informal caregivers. Digital and assistive technologies have been proposed as tools to support aging in place and community-based dementia care. However, their contribution to everyday life remains uncertain. Objective: To analyze the available evidence on the role of digital technologies in supporting aging in place, au …

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy modulates immune aging in a personalized manner: a linear mixed-effects analysis

Hai-Tao Chu, Hang Zhao, Shan-Shan Wang, Xin Meng, Di Wang, Xiao-Bo Zhu, Yang Wang, Xue-Wei Yang

Abstract Background Immunosenescence, characterized by telomere shortening, senescence-associated T-cell subsets, and chronic inflammation, is a hallmark of biological aging. Whether these aging-related immune biomarkers can be modulated through short-term intervention and whether responses differ according to individual characteristics remain unclear. This study evaluated the effects of short-term hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on senescence-related biomarkers and explored factors associated with individual resp …

The impact of social media on body image and weight-change behaviors among young people: a systematic scoping review

Jiayi Zhou, Lijuan Xu, Caifu Li, Zhirun Wang

Abstract Background Young people aged 10–24 years are the core users of social media (SM), and are particularly vulnerable to idealized body standards propagated on these platforms. While social media can promote healthy lifestyles, and substantial evidence has confirmed its significant association with body dissatisfaction and unhealthy weight-change behaviors among young people, how specific social media content characteristics shape the full spectrum of weight-change behaviors through differentiated mechanisms r …

Corpus callosum fractional anisotropy from routine diffusion tensor imaging predicts dementia in older adults beyond clinical risk factors

Shahar Negev, Benjamin F. Gruenbaum, Vladislav Zvenigorodsky, Shira Bitansky-Brosch, Ilan Shelef, Julia Grinshpun, Vladimir Zeldetz, Israel Melamed, Alexander Zlotnik, Matthew Boyko

Abstract Dementia arises from multifactorial neurodegenerative processes, with growing evidence implicating blood–brain barrier dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and vascular injury as contributors to progressive brain tissue damage. Because decline in white matter microstructural integrity is a prominent feature of brain aging, biomarkers that capture this process may improve dementia risk stratification beyond conventional clinical factors. Fractional anisotropy (FA), derived from diffusion tensor imaging, reflects …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi enhance plant performance in trace element‐contaminated soils with element‐specific accumulation patterns

Zahraddeen Kabir Sani, Jean Legeay, Mohamed Hijri

Summary Societal Impact Statement Soil contamination by toxic trace elements is a growing global challenge that threatens food safety, agricultural productivity, and ecosystem health. We combined results from many experiments worldwide to assess whether beneficial soil fungi can help plants cope with contaminated soils. Our meta‐analysis shows that arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) consistently improve plant growth and nutrition while reducing the translocation of potentially toxic elements, particularly cadmium, …

Codeveloping a Set of Quality of Care Indicators for People Living With Multiple Long-Term Conditions in Primary Care: Protocol for a Modified RAND/UCLA Study

Sara Tavares, Thomas Beaney, Arad Reisberg, Ania Henley, Angela Edwards, David Belsey, Laura Downey

Abstract Background Quality indicators in primary care remain predominantly disease-specific and professionally defined, with limited incorporation of what matters most to people living with multiple long-term conditions (MLTCs) and their caregivers. Existing frameworks and quality standards provide important conceptual direction, but few produce a pragmatic set of ready-to-use indicators. Objective This study aims to codevelop a disease-agnostic set of quality of care indicators with people living with MLTCs, care …

Background: Preventive strategies, including adherence to specific dietary patterns, have received increasing attention as approaches to reduce cognitive decline and dementia risk. However, findings remain inconsistent, partly due to differences in dietary assessment methods, cognitive outcomes, and THE consideration of genetic susceptibility factors such as apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype. Methods: This study examined associations between dietary patterns and longitudinal cognitive change in 185 older adults with …

Keqin Chu, Jasmine Montayre, Patrick Pui Kin Kor, Jed Montayre

Abstract Background and Objectives Promoting physical activity (PA) is essential for health in middle-aged and older adults, yet global activity levels remain low. While personality is a recognised determinant of PA in the general adult population, personality-PA associations and personality-informed interventions in middle-aged and older adults remain under-explored. This rapid review aimed to synthesise evidence on Five-Factor Model personality traits and PA outcomes in adults aged ≥40 years and to explore trait- …

Effects of home-based videoconference adapted physical activity on healthy aging

Elodie Piche, Frederic Chorin, Justine Hellec, Laurie Vezien, Olivier Guerin, Serge S. Colson

Abstract Aging induces muscle weakness and power decline in older adults, increasing the risk of falls. Adapted physical activity (APA) programs are effective in mitigating these declines. Recent innovations, including videoconferencing, offer alternative delivery modes, but their effectiveness in improving physical function remains underexplored. The objective was to evaluate the effects of a 12-week multi-component APA program via videoconferencing on physical capacity in older adults. Fifty older adults (73.20 ± …
