Background: Evidence on the impact of complex neighborhood environment, including air pollution, greenness, and neighborhood socioeconomic deprivation (nSED) on cognitive health in older adults remains scarce. Both cognition and neighborhood environment are associated with physical activity, but little is known about the potential mediating role of physical activity in this association.
Methods: Cross-sectional data of the Czech arm of the HAPIEE cohort study examined 4,178 participants (55.
Article Synopsis
- Early life socioeconomic factors and adverse experiences can lead to overeating in children, which is linked to an increase in body mass index (BMI), suggesting the relationship may go both ways.* -
- The study used data from over 5,000 children, assessing their BMI and overeating behaviors from ages 3 to 11, while examining predictors like maternal BMI, education, and financial stability.* -
- Findings revealed that childhood BMI and perceived overeating are mutually influential over time, with maternal factors and adverse childhood experiences playing significant roles in this relationship.*
Background: The number of older people with cognitive impairment is increasing worldwide. Impaired lung function might be associated with cognitive decline in older age; however, results from large longitudinal studies are lacking. In this study, we examined the longitudinal associations between pulmonary function and the trajectories of cognitive decline using prospective population-based SHARE data from 14 countries.

A variety of biomarkers have been found to predict biological age. Biological age higher than chronological age (biological age acceleration) indicates an accelerated state of biological aging and a higher risk of premature morbidity and mortality.

This study aims to assess several possible mediators in the educational disparities in adiposity. We hypothesize the potential mediating role of lifestyle, socioeconomic, and mental health factors in the association between education and adiposity.
