Age-related differences in eye blink-related neural activity and functional connectivity during driving.

Department of Ergonomics, Leibniz Research Centre for Working Environment and Human Factors, 44139, Dortmund, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- Driving involves complex coordination that deteriorates with age, affecting cognitive and motor functions.
- A study compared blink behavior and neural responses in younger and older adults during reactive and proactive driving tasks, revealing that younger participants had shorter blink durations and more efficient neural processing.
- Functional connectivity analysis indicated that younger adults exhibit stronger network integration in various brain areas, while older adults showed signs of compensatory mechanisms in attention networks, suggesting adaptability in response to cognitive demands.
Unlabelled: Hypertension disproportionately affects African Americans, and adequate blood pressure (BP) control remains a challenge. Self-management of hypertension is critical for improving BP control and reducing hypertension-related morbidities.
Objectives: The objective of this study is to describe hypertension self-management (HTN-SM) behaviors and the relationship between HTN-SM and self-reported BP in middle- to older-aged African American adults.
Health outcome priorities of people with multiple long-term conditions using the outcome prioritisation tool in the UK: A survey study and feasibility assessment.

Background: The outcome prioritisation tool (OPT) is a simple tool to ascertain the health outcome priorities of people with MLTC. Use of this tool in people aged under 65 years with MLTC has not previously been investigated. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of using the OPT in people with MLTC aged 45 years or above, in a multi-ethnic primary-care setting and describe the health outcome priorities of people with MLTC by age, clusters of long-term conditions and demographic factors, and to investigate any differences in prioritisation in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Stroke is one of the leading causes of death in developing countries, and China bears the largest global burden of stroke. This study aims to investigate the relationship between different dimensions of physical activity levels and stroke risk using a nationally representative database. We performed a cross-sectional analysis using data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) 2020.

Background: An age-related decline in motor flexibility, which is the ability to synergistically control the degrees of freedom of the body to ensure stable performance of a task, is a factor that contributes to falls. We investigated whether providing environmental constraints to increase the movement repertoire (i.e.
