We investigated sociodemographic, lifestyle, anthropometric/physiologic, and other predictors of HDL-C over 30 years of follow-up in the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study, a multicenter, longitudinal cohort with a baseline exam in 1985-86 and follow-up exams at least every five years through 2016. During exams, participants completed various questionnaires, anthropometric measurements, and blood collection.

- - The study focuses on opioid discontinuation rates and their predictors among older adults (65+) with Alzheimer's disease-related dementias (ADRD) or frailty who had undergone a fracture and started opioid treatment.
- - It analyzed 33,027 Medicare beneficiaries and found that about 81-83% of non-frail individuals discontinued opioids within 30 days, while those with frailty or ADRD had lower discontinuation rates (76%-77%).
- - Those with both ADRD and frailty were less likely to discontinue opioids compared to those without these conditions, indicating different opioid management needs based on health status.
