Association of organ damage with predicted fat mass in a community-dwelling elderly: the Northern Shanghai study

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...

Quality of life, household income, and dietary habits are associated with the risk of sarcopenia among the Chinese elderly
CONCLUSIONS: In summary, our findings demonstrate that low levels of HRQoL and household income, more intake of salt and spicy food, and occasional intake of alcohol are correlated with higher risk of sarcopenia, while skipping breakfast occasionally is associated with lower risk of sarcopenia in a Chinese population of older adults.PMID:38334908 | PMC:PMC10857955 | DOI:10.1007/s40520-023-02656-9 (Source: Aging Clinical and Experimental Research)

Trends in disability in activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living among Chinese older adults from 2011 to 2018
CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of IADL and ADL disability among Chinese older adults increased over time. The "arthritis/digestive diseases" pattern, "cardiometabolic disease" pattern and "high multimorbidity" pattern appeared to be less disabling in ADL over time. Improving the prevention and treatment of multimorbidity and developing age-friendly living conditions could be helpful to reduce the risks of disability.PMID:38326510 | PMC:PMC10850014 | DOI:10.1007/s40520-023-02690-7 (Source: Aging Clinical and Experimental Research)

Association between inflammatory bowel disease and frailty: a two-sample Mendelian randomization study
CONCLUSIONS: Our research indicates that IBD, encompassing both CD and UC, may augment the propensity for frailty. Clinical practitioners must prioritize early frailty assessment in individuals afflicted with inflammatory bowel disease, inclusive of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, facilitating proactive measures and timely interventions. However, our findings do not provide evidence supporting a causal effect of frailty on IBD (including CD and UC). Consequently, further studies are essential to explore the intricate mechanisms that clarify the effect of frailty on IBD.PMID:38319411 | PMC:PMC10847216 | DOI:10.1007/...

Age-adjusted visceral adiposity index (VAI) is superior to VAI for predicting mortality among US adults: an analysis of the NHANES 2011-2014
CONCLUSION: Age significantly improves the ability of VAI for predicting all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Age-adjusted VAI is independently associated with mortality risk, and thus could be considered a reliable parameter for assessing mortality risk.PMID:38321181 | PMC:PMC10847207 | DOI:10.1007/s40520-023-02660-z (Source: Aging Clinical and Experimental Research)

Disposition of improving quality of life in older adults: the case of Lithuania

Acetyl-cholinesterase-inhibitors reconsidered. A narrative review of post-marketing studies on Alzheimer's disease
Aging Clin Exp Res. 2024 Feb 7;36(1):23. doi: 10.1007/s40520-023-02675-6.ABSTRACTThe real efficacy of Acetyl-cholinesterase-inhibitors (AChEI) has been questioned. In this narrative review we evaluated their effect on cognitive decline, measured by Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), and on total mortality rates in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) recruited into post-marketing open/non-randomized/retrospective studies. In AD patients treated with AChEI, the mean MMSE loss ranged from 0.2 to 1.37 points/years, compared with 1.07-3.4 points/years in non-treated patients. Six studies also reported data about survival;...

Predictors of hospital readmission rate in geriatric patients
CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights the importance of performing an accurate CGA, since defined domains and variables contained in the CGA (i.e., LOS, lower albumin and systolic blood pressure, poor renal function, and greater comorbidity burden), when combined altogether, may offer a valid tool to identify the most fragile patients with clinical and functional impairment enhancing their risk of unplanned early and late readmission.PMID:38321332 | PMC:PMC10847193 | DOI:10.1007/s40520-023-02664-9 (Source: Aging Clinical and Experimental Research)
