Importance Emerging evidence suggests that mild cognitive impairment, which is a precursor to Alzheimer disease and related dementias (ADRD), places older adults at increased risk for falls. However, the risk that an older adult develops dementia after experiencing a fall is unknown.Objective To determine the risk of new ADRD diagnosis after a fall in older… Continue reading Risk of #Dementia Diagnosis After Injurious #Falls in Older Adults

Time-Restricted Eating in Adults With #Metabolic Syndrome: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Background:Time-restricted eating (TRE), limiting daily dietary intake to a consistent 8 to 10 hours without mandating calorie reduction, may provide cardiometabolic benefits.Objective:To determine the effects of TRE as a lifestyle intervention combined with current standard-of-care treatments on cardiometabolic health in adults with metabolic syndrome.Design:Randomized controlled trial. (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04057339)Setting:Clinical research institute.Participants:Adults with metabolic syndrome including elevated… Continue reading Time-Restricted Eating in Adults With #Metabolic Syndrome: A Randomized Controlled Trial
#Metformin decelerates #aging clock in male monkeys
Highlights•Metformin prevents brain atrophy, elevating cognitive function in aged male primates.Metformin slows the pace of aging across diverse male primate tissues•Metformin counterparts neuronal aging, delivering geroprotection via Nrf2 in male primatesSummaryIn a rigorous 40-month study, we evaluated the geroprotective effects of metformin on adult male cynomolgus monkeys, addressing a gap in primate aging research. The… Continue reading #Metformin decelerates #aging clock in male monkeys

Prevalence of Critical Errors and Insufficient Peak Inspiratory Flow in Patients Hospitalized With #COPD in a Department of General Internal Medicine: A Cross-Sectional Study
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of morbidity and the third leading cause of mortality worldwide.1 The pharmaceutical treatment of COPD relies mainly on the administration of medications via inhalation. However, the effectiveness of these treatments is very often hampered by the suboptimal utilization of inhalers, which may arise due to errors in… Continue reading Prevalence of Critical Errors and Insufficient Peak Inspiratory Flow in Patients Hospitalized With #COPD in a Department of General Internal Medicine: A Cross-Sectional Study
#Antibiotics damage the #colonic mucus barrier in a #microbiota-independent manner
Antibiotic use is a risk factor for development of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). IBDs are characterized by a damaged mucus layer, which does not separate the intestinal epithelium from the microbiota. Here, we hypothesized that antibiotics affect the integrity of the mucus barrier, which allows bacterial penetrance and predisposes to intestinal inflammation. We found that… Continue reading #Antibiotics damage the #colonic mucus barrier in a #microbiota-independent manner
Effects of interventions to combat #tobacco addiction: #Cochrane update of 2021 to 2023 reviews
To summarise systematic reviews on tobacco addiction published by the Cochrane Tobacco Addiction Group (CTAG) from 2021 to 2023.MethodsWe identified all new and updated Cochrane Reviews published by CTAG between 2021 and 2023. We present key results from these reviews and discuss promising avenues for future research.ResultsCTAG published five new reviews and one overview of… Continue reading Effects of interventions to combat #tobacco addiction: #Cochrane update of 2021 to 2023 reviews
Upper #Gastrointestinal Mucosal Damage and Subsequent Risk of #Parkinson Disease
Importance The gut-first hypothesis of Parkinson disease (PD) has gained traction, yet potential inciting events triggering Parkinson pathology from gut-related factors remain unclear. While Helicobacter pylori infection is linked to mucosal damage (MD) and PD, it is unknown how upper gastrointestinal MD from any source increases PD risk.Objective To evaluate any association between upper endoscopy findings of MD and… Continue reading Upper #Gastrointestinal Mucosal Damage and Subsequent Risk of #Parkinson Disease
#Vision Impairment and the Population Attributable Fraction of #Dementia in Older Adults
Importance Vision impairment is a potentially modifiable risk factor for dementia. Although few prior studies have estimated the contribution of vision impairments to dementia, none have reported on multiple objectively measured vision impairments (eg, distance and near visual acuity and contrast sensitivity) in a nationally representative sample of older adults.Objective To quantify population attributable fractions of dementia… Continue reading #Vision Impairment and the Population Attributable Fraction of #Dementia in Older Adults
