The Association Between Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors and Polypharmacy in Older Adults: The Loma Linda Longevity Study.

Introduction: Polypharmacy-defined as taking numerous medications that may not be clinically necessary-is becoming a significant concern among the older adult population. This study examined the associations between lifestyle behaviors and the number of prescribed medications in older adults (75 years and older) living in the counties of San Bernardino and Riverside.

Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional survey to assess lifestyle behaviors and medication use in 611 older adults aged 75 or over.

Lifestyle Factors and Heart Health: Exploring Effect Modification Using Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System Survey Data.

This study examined the potential relationship between sleep, exercise, and depression with coronary heart disease (CHD) using the 2020 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) (n = 391 750) during the COVID-19 pandemic. CHD was defined as the presence of self-reported CHD or myocardial infarction (MI). Descriptive statistics were used to report variable frequencies and percentages.

Association of Anti-Müllerian Hormone on Oocyte Maturation, Fertilization, and Pregnancy Rates in Patients under Assisted Reproductive Technology Cycles: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Ovarian reserve is one of the most important factors that influences the success of assisted reproductive technology (ART). Recently, the role of anti-müllerian hormone (AMH) in ART has been investigated as a marker for the prediction of ovarian response. We aim to examine this relationship within a large Iranian population.

Single-Phase L1-Ordered High Entropy Thin Films with High Magnetic Anisotropy.

The vast high entropy alloy (HEA) composition space is promising for discovery of new material phases with unique properties. This study explores the potential to achieve rare-earth-free high magnetic anisotropy materials in single-phase HEA thin films. Thin films of FeCoNiMnCu sputtered on thermally oxidized Si/SiO substrates at room temperature are magnetically soft, with a coercivity on the order of 10 Oe.

The Association Between Lifestyle Factors and COVID-19 Among Older Adults in Southern California: The Loma Linda Longevity Study.

Amid a global aging trend, particularly notable in the U.S., there is a growing focus on achieving enhanced longevity and well-being.
