Background: For asymptomatic individuals aged 40-49 years, screening for colorectal cancer is recommended only if individuals are at an increased risk. A family history of colon cancer (FHCRC) is considered to increase risk, however, whether family history of stomach cancer (FHSC) increases the risk of adenoma is not well known. We aimed to see whether FHSC increases the risk in asymptomatic individuals aged 40-49 years in Korea.
Methods: Among asymptomatic individual aged 40-49 years who underwent colonoscopy screening, risk of adenoma was assessed according to FHCRC or FHSC.
Results: Of 3,160 individuals, male comprised 1,602 individuals (50.7%). FHCRC and FHSC was noticed in 163 (5.2%) and 227 (7.0%) individuals, respectively. Prevalence of adenoma was 31.9 %, 28.8%, and 22.3% for individuals with FHCRC, individuals with FHSC, and individuals without family history of cancer, respectively. FHSC was an independent risk factor for adenoma (odds ratio, 1.38; 95% confidence interval, 1.02-1.87, P = 0.039) in asymptomatic individuals aged 40-49 years. Compared with individuals with FHCRC, individuals with FHSC showed no difference in risk for adenoma (P = 0.347).
Conclusions: As with individuals with FHCRC, individuals with FHSC might need to be considered as an individual with increased risk for adenoma. Therefore, earlier screening might be needed for asymptomatic individuals aged 40-49 years with FHSC in Korea.

: Age is a known predictor of skin autofluorescence (SAF) across populations, but age-based reference values are lacking for the Spanish population. This study aims to establish SAF reference values for healthy Spanish adults by age group, compare these with other populations, and estimate optimal SAF cut-off points by age range. Additionally, it aims to analyse the influence of sex, smoking, and skin phototype.

Background: The 12-h ultradian rhythm plays a crucial role in metabolic homeostasis, but its role in ovarian aging has not been explored. This study investigates age-related changes in 12-h rhythmic gene expression across various human tissues, with a particular focus on the ovary.
Methods: We analyzed transcriptomic data from the GTEx project to examine 12-h ultradian rhythmic gene expression across multiple peripheral human tissues, exploring sex-specific patterns and age-related reprogramming of both 12-h and 24-h rhythmic gene expression.

Background: The stromal vascular fraction (SVF) of adipose tissue has now been widely used in plastic surgeries, clinical trials and therapies. However, the cell composition of SVF undergoes dynamic changes during aging and obesity, which may influence the efficacy of the SVF. This study analyzed the effects of age, harvest site and body mass index on the cell composition of the SVF.

The prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) in older women in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is not well understood. We conducted a rapid literature review to assess the burden of UI in this population and contextualize findings from a household survey of women aged 40 and older in Nouna, in northwestern Burkina Faso. The rapid review included 21 survey articles.
