Unlabelled: The sundown syndrome is a complex neurobehavioral disorder in patients with dementia associated with high financial cost and significant caregiver burden. It is a multifactorial phenomenon with unclear pathophysiology, characterized by the presence of neuropsychiatric symptoms in the evening period.
Objective: To analyze the main neuropsychiatric symptoms, their correlation with one another, with comorbidities, and with time of day of greatest symptom intensity in patients with Alzheimer's disease dementia.
Article Synopsis
- Human longevity is influenced by multiple factors, including genetics and environment, with a focus on specific genetic polymorphisms like FOXO3, SOD2, APOE, and SIRT1.
- The study found a connection between the FOXO3 GG genotype and gender, while lifestyle and biochemical traits impacted longevity; however, factors like DNA damage and oxidative stress did not show a correlation with lifespan.
- The research suggests FOXO3 as a potential candidate gene for longevity, highlighting its implications for healthcare related to aging and encouraging further studies on gene regulation in elderly populations.
