An interdisciplinary agenda to assess risks of climate extremes to nature’s contributions to people

Sarah Hülsen, Cibele Amaral, David N Bresch, Meghan T Hayden, Chahan M Kropf, Anna LoPresti, Kyle Manley, Robert I McDonald, Tyler L McIntosh, Keiko J Nomura, Timothy J Ohlert, Katherine J Siegel, Carmen B Steinmann, Laura E Dee

Abstract Weather and climate extremes are transforming ecosystems in ways that threaten society through the disruption of nature’s contributions to people (NCP) from food and water security to disaster mitigation and mental well-being. While scientists and policy makers increasingly recognize the need to account for nature-related losses from climate-driven weather extremes, major research gaps remain, particularly in how climate-altered disturbance regimes will impact NCP and associated human well-being.

Judith de la Torre, Anna Arnau., Alba Singla, Miren Iriarte, Josep Mª Galceran, Joan Manel Díaz, Vicencs Esteve-Simó

Background/Objectives: Sarcopenia is highly prevalent in patients with end-stage renal disease and is associated with adverse outcomes. We evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of rectus femoris ultrasound, compared with bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS), for identifying sarcopenia defined by the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People 2 (EWGSOP2) in haemodialysis patients, and derived overall and sex-specific ultrasound cut-off values. Methods: In this single-centre cross-sectional study, haemodialysis pati …

Exploring Distribution‐of‐Practice Effects on L2 Grammar Learning Among Older Adults

Raquel Serrano, Anna Gawlikowicz

Abstract This paper examines the effects of practice distribution among older adult learners of L2 English, an understudied population in both second language acquisition and distributed practice research. Additionally, it considers the effects of proficiency and age. Healthy older adults ( N = 53) aged between 56 and 78 years learned the simple past and present perfect in L2 English over three classroom‐based lessons with either a 3.5‐day or 7‐day intersession interval (ISI). Their knowledge of the target forms wa …

Cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric validation of the simplified Oral Frailty Index (OFI-8) among Indonesian older adults

Astari Larasati, Lindawati S. Kusdhany, Melissa Adiatman, Muslita Indrasari, Diah Ayu Maharani

Background Oral frailty refers to the manifestation of decreased oral function, such as poor oral health, impaired articulation, episodes of choking, and an increase in the amount of food that cannot be chewed. Recent studies have reported that oral frailty is a risk factor for physical frailty, sarcopenia, cognitive decline, and lower quality of life in older adults; however, it is challenging to detect deterioration in oral function since it requires specialist training and equipment. Alternatively, the Oral Frai …

Artificial intelligence companionship for loneliness in older adults: An interview with Vijeth Iyengar and Elizabeth Broadbent

Priyam Joshi, Anna Rader Groves, Shreya Venkatesh

"MIT Science Policy Review spoke with Dr. Elizabeth Broadbent and Dr. Vijeth Iyengar, two leading experts in human-robot interaction and global aging, about loneliness in later life and the role that artificial intelligence companions have been proposed to play in addressing it. Loneliness carries consequences for both mental and physical health. As older adult populations grow rapidly while younger ones shrink, social isolation has become an increasingly common feature of global aging. Artificial intelligence (AI) …

A fisioterapia na prevenção de quedas em idosos: uma revisão integrativa sobre estratégias de intervenção

Danielle Rodrigues de Oliveira, Camila Araujo de Paula, Simone Leite Azevedo Gurgel Guida, Evandro Rogério Roman, Fabiana Moreno, Maria Auxiliadora Andrade Pinto Ribeiro

Population aging represents one of the greatest contemporary challenges for healthcare systems due to the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, reduced functional capacity, and greater susceptibility to falls among older adults. Falls constitute a major public health concern because they are associated with increased morbidity and mortality, hospitalizations, loss of functional independence, institutionalization, and reduced quality of life. In this context, physiotherapy plays a fundamental role in fall preve …

Evolution of Non-Refoulement Principle - Enabler for Protection of Environmentally Displaced People

Ira Marija Cerinski

Climate change, one of the biggest challenges of our time, is disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations who have least contributed to it, forcing them to leave their homes and to seek protection in other countries. This doctrinal study analyses the scope under which protection of such environmentally displaced people is being granted. The study shows that such a scope is broad, reflecting the principles of international human rights law. However, the safeguards granted under international human rights law …

Theories of care help explain a peri‐urban tree diversity paradox

Jacqueline Hamilton, Murray M. Humphries, Heather Brown, Elena M. Bennett

Abstract Since diversity is often a management objective for peri‐urban tree communities on public land, one might expect to find greater diversity there than on private land, where such objectives are less common. However, this expectation rests on an assumption that people control diversity towards objectives, overlooking the role of relationships between people and trees. Theories of care offer a novel lens for exploring how such relationships relate to tree diversity. We quantitatively assessed tree diversity a …

When mild impairment is not safe: mini-mental state examination scores of ≤21 are associated with emergency response failure

Howard Kim, Caitlyn Parker, Jennifer Jurado Severance, April Wiechmann

Introduction Unrecognized emergency-response deficits contribute to preventable harm and loss of independence in older adults with cognitive decline. Although the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) is widely used to assess global cognition, clinicians often use MMSE scores to inform judgments about everyday functioning. However, the relationship between MMSE performance and emergency-response ability remains unclear. The Test of Executive Functioning in an Emergency (TEFE) is a brief, performance-based assessment …

Genetic evidence for a causal role of depression in late-onset Alzheimer disease: A Mendelian randomization study

Yanlin Chen, Xiaohua Chen

Observational studies link psychiatric disorders to Alzheimer disease (AD), but whether these associations are causal remains unclear due to confounding and reverse causality. We aimed to dissect these relationships using genetic evidence. We performed a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study to assess the causal effects of 7 psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders on AD and its subtypes. The primary analysis utilized the inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method, supported by comprehensive sensitivity ana …
