Dysregulation of acyl carnitines, pentose phosphate pathway and arginine and ornithine metabolism are associated with decline in intrinsic capacity in Chinese older adults
CONCLUSION: The specific change of acyl carnitines was observed to be a feature of decline in intrinsic capacity. Dysregulation of the pentose phosphate pathway and of arginine and ornithine metabolism was strongly associated with the decline in intrinsic capacity.PMID:38345670 | PMC:PMC10861606 | DOI:10.1007/s40520-023-02654-x (Source: Aging Clinical and Experimental Research)

Interventions to improve social network in older people with sensory impairment: a systematic review
CONCLUSION: There are few interventions available for improving social network in older people with sensory impairment. Most interventions mainly focus on communication education and care, and sensory device fitting and education. To improve the social network in older people with sensory impairment, it is necessary to develop more effective, multidisciplinary collaborative effective interventions and conduct more high-quality original studies.PMID:38345702 | PMC:PMC10861684 | DOI:10.1007/s40520-024-02695-w (Source: Aging Clinical and Experimental Research)

The link between spirituality and longevity
Aging Clin Exp Res. 2024 Feb 11;36(1):32. doi: 10.1007/s40520-023-02684-5.ABSTRACTWe are facing an inverted demographic pyramid with continuously growing aged populations around the world. However, the advances that prolong physical life not always contemplate its psychological and social dimensions. Longevity is a complex outcome influenced by a wide range of factors, including genetics, lifestyle choices, access to healthcare, socio-economic conditions, and other environmental factors. These factors have been generally considered in the compelling research that seeks the determinants of longevity, particularly those conc...
