Article Synopsis
- Existing studies often look at physical activity (PA) and its connection to biological age (BA) separately, which may limit understanding.
- Research involving 5,216 adults aged 45 and older found that transport-related walking and leisure-time moderate-intensity PA are linked to a younger BA, unlike work-related PA.
- There are U-shaped relationships between these types of PA and BA, indicating all intensities of PA help reduce BA in older adults; thus, the approach to designing age-delaying interventions should consider the type, intensity, and amount of PA.
Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) is a popular conduction polymer and widely used in organic electronics, bioelectronics and printed electronics. It is believed that PEDOT:PSS has a core-shell colloidal structure dispersed in the formulation. However, the size and surface functional groups of the PEDOT:PSS dispersion and films remain to be visualized.

- The study focuses on enhancing physical activity (PA) levels in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) using three different strategies: role modeling, goal-setting, and reminding, as part of a broader intervention plan involving X-CircuiT and health education.
- 107 participants were randomly assigned to groups employing different strategies, and results showed that all three strategies significantly improved PA levels, with role modeling also enhancing cognitive function.
- Role modeling was identified as the most effective and cost-efficient strategy for promoting PA, making it a key component in future PA intervention packages for older adults with MCI.
Objective: Electronic mental health interventions are effective but not well promoted currently among older adults. This study sought to systematically review and summarize the barriers and facilitators of accepting and implementing electronic mental health interventions among older adults.
Methods: We comprehensively retrieved six electronic databases from January 2012 to September 2022: PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, PsycINFO, and CINAHL.
Objective: This study sought to develop and validate a 6-year risk prediction model in older adults with cognitive frailty (CF).
Methods: In the secondary analysis of Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS), participants from the 2011-2018 cohort were included to develop the prediction model. The CF was assessed by the Chinese version of Mini-Mental State Exam (CMMSE) and the modified Fried criteria.
Background: Middle-aged and older adults frequently experience hearing loss and a decline in cognitive function. Although an association between hearing difficulty and cognitive function has been demonstrated, its temporal sequence remains unclear. Therefore, we investigated whether there are bidirectional relationships between hearing difficulty and cognitive function and explored the mediating role of depressive symptoms in this relationship.

Background: Motoric cognitive risk syndrome (MCR) is a pre-dementia symptom strongly predicting cognitive decline and dementia. Although advancements in elucidating the epidemiology of MCR, the evidence about the association between sarcopenia, sarcopenia parameters, and MCR remains scarce.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the associations between sarcopenia, sarcopenia parameters, and MCR among community-dwelling Chinese older adults.
Background: Depression is prevalent among older adults, and internet-delivered psychological interventions (IDPIs) have emerged as a promising solution.
Aim: To explore the landscape of IDPIs for late-life depression, examining current characteristics, psychotherapies, intervention strategies, facilitators, and barriers.
Method: Guided by a PRISMA-guided scoping review, we systematically searched five electronic databases.
Background: Several prediction models for cognitive frailty (CF) in older adults have been developed. However, the existing models have varied in predictors and performances, and the methodological quality still needs to be determined.
Objectives: We aimed to summarize and critically appraise the reported multivariable prediction models in older adults with CF.
Objective: this study sought to systematically review and synthesize qualitative data to explore older adult exergame experiences and perceptions.
Methods: a comprehensive search was conducted in seven databases from the earliest available date to May 2022. All qualitative and mixed-method studies available in English and explored exergame experiences in older adults were included.
Background: To explore effectiveness and acceptability of non-pharmacological interventions in mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
Methods: Overview of systematic reviews and network meta-analysis were conducted. Systematic reviews (SRs) were searched via seven databases from June 2015 to June 2020.
Copolymerization is an effective approach to tailor the thermal and structural properties of liquid crystalline polymer materials, which is essential for various applications. In this work, two series of polynorbornene copolymers, A-r-B and A-r-C, with the biphenyl mesogenic side group at different substituent positions were synthesized via ring-opening metathesis polymerization in various compositions. The corresponding homopolymers A and C are liquid crystalline polymers, exhibiting an oblique columnar structure (Colob/p2) and lamellar structure, respectively, while homopolymer B is amorphous.
