Intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) of proteins remain understudied with enigmatic sequence features relevant to their functions. Members of the myotubularin-related protein (MTMR) family contain uncharacterized IDRs. After decades of research on their phosphatase activity, recent work on the C-terminal IDRs of MTMR7 revealed new interactions and important new functions beyond the phosphatase function.

Aims: To investigate 20-year trends in social participation among the oldest old (77+ years) in Sweden and assess the extent to which changes in educational attainment and functional abilities explain these trends.

Methods: Seven waves of the Swedish Panel Study of Living Conditions of the Oldest Old (SWEOLD) spanning 2002-2021 were used with a repeated cross-sectional design. To analyse the association between time and social participation we employed the Karlson-Holm-Breen method of decomposition.
