Compression and Expansion of Morbidity-Secular Trends Among Cohorts of the Same Age
CONCLUSION: The notion of morbidity being reduced by compression seems less tenable in view of the double development just mentioned. The findings suggest that the observed secular trend toward better heath among the elderly has not persisted among the more recently born cohorts. This can have negative effects on social security systems, particularly with respect to retirement ages being deferred or made more flexible, as well as the cost of health care.PMID:36300897 | DOI:10.3238/arztebl.m2022.0324

Three million Britons in global medical study to help develop new ways to detect illnesses sooner
It is hoped the research will help doctors better predict who is at higher risk of diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, dementia and stroke.

It's not OK to let kids drink coffee. Why do we do it?
We have become a coffee-crazed culture. Yet, with all the studies coming out on how a cup of joe can reduce the risk for diabetes, heart disease, stroke, dementia and some cancers, what's the harm?

Partner effects on caregiver and care recipient depressed mood: heterogeneity across health condition and relationship type
AbstractThe well-being of caregivers and their care recipients is interrelated, although conflicting evidence has emerged across different caregiving populations. Using data from the National Health and Aging Trends Study and the National Study of Caregiving (2015 and 2017, n = 742 dyads), we constructed actor-partner interdependence models assessing how spillover (i.e., interdependence) of depressed mood varied by care recipient health condition (specifically cancer, dementia, stroke, and diabetes) and kinship type (spouse/partner, child, other relative, or non-rel ative). Across condition types, care recipient-to-ca...

Daily Multivitamins Linked to Improved Cognition in Older People
Taking a daily multivitamin may improve cognitive function in older people, astudy inAlzheimer ’s& Dementia has found. Taking a cocoa supplement, however, does not appear to slow cognitive decline.“There is an urgent need to identify effective strategies to preserve cognitive function to mitigate the heavy societal burden associated with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia, which affect more than 46 million people worldwide,” wrote Laura D. Baker, Ph.D., of Wake Forest University S chool of Medicine and colleagues. Cocoa extract is rich in compounds called flavanols, and previous small studies suggest that...

Clinical code usage in UK general practice: a cohort study exploring 18 conditions over 14 years
Conclusions
This is an under-reported research area and the findings suggest the codes’ usage diversity for most conditions remained overall stable throughout the study period. Generated mental health code lists can last for a long time unlike cardiometabolic conditions and cancer. Adopting more consistent and less diverse coding would help improve data quality in primary care. Future research is needed following the transfer to the Systematised Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT) coding.

Association of nutritional support with survival-time in hospitalized older patients with dysphagia: a retrospective study
Dysphagia results from age-related changes in swallowing physiology and contributes to various health status changes, including higher risks for malnutrition, pneumonia, and mortality [1, 2]. It also occurs in age-related diseases, including stroke [3] and cancer [4], and progressive neurological diseases, such as dementia [5] and Parkinson ’s disease [6]. These associations, and global aging, have increased the importance of dysphagia management.
Artificial nutrition can support patients with dysphagia caused by various clinical conditions. Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is an artificial nutrition method that...

Identification of healthspan-promoting genes in Caenorhabditis elegans based on a human GWAS study
Biogerontology. 2022 Jun 24. doi: 10.1007/s10522-022-09969-8. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTo find drivers of healthy ageing, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed in healthy and unhealthy older individuals. Healthy individuals were defined as free from cardiovascular disease, stroke, heart failure, major adverse cardiovascular event, diabetes, dementia, cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, rheumatism, Crohn's disease, malabsorption or kidney disease. Six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with unknown function associated with ten human genes were identified as candidate healths...
