Gendered Marital Power, Depression, and Cognition Among Older Adults in Mexico.
J Gerontol B Psychol Sci Soc Sci
December 2024
T. Denny Sanford School of Social and Family Dynamics, Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona, USA.
Article Synopsis
- * Using data from the Mexican Health and Aging Study, the research analyzes how actors' (individuals') and partners' (spouses') perceptions of marital power relate to cognitive performance over time, with an emphasis on depression as a mediating factor.
- * Results indicate that lower marital power is associated with decreased cognition, especially for husbands, while women's marital power imbalances lead to higher depression rates for both partners, suggesting a significant link between marital dynamics and cognitive health in older adults.
Predicting outcomes in head and neck surgery with modified frailty index and surgical apgar scores.
Oral Oncol
December 2024
Division of Preventative Medicine, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL, USA.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare how well the Modified Frailty Index and the Modified Surgical Apgar scores predict postoperative outcomes, specifically complications and mortality, in head and neck cancer patients.
- The analysis involved 723 patients who underwent major surgeries from 2012 to 2015, with results showing that both scoring systems were significantly linked to 30-day complications, but the Modified Surgical Apgar score was more effective.
- Ultimately, while both scores are valuable for assessing patient risk, the Modified Surgical Apgar score provided better predictive power, and using them together did not enhance accuracy significantly.

In 2023, a series of climatological and political events unfolded, partly driving forward the global climate and health agenda while simultaneously exposing important disparities and vulnerabilities to climate-related events. On the policy front, a significant step forward was marked by the inaugural Health Day at COP28, acknowledging the profound impacts of climate change on health. However, the first-ever Global Stocktake showed an important gap between the current progress and the targets outlined in the Paris Agreement, underscoring the urgent need for further and decisive action.
