The Cornell Research-to-Practice (RTP) Consensus Workshop Model is a strategy for bridging the gap between aging research and practice but lacks a technique for evaluating the relative importance of ideas. This project assessed the feasibility of adding a quantitative survey to the RTP model to address this gap. Older adults with cancer (OACs), OAC caregivers, researchers, clinicians, and advocacy organization representatives participated in a RTP workshop on implementing psychological interventions for OACs. Following an in-person workshop, participants completed surveys assessing the relative importance of barriers and strategies for psychological intervention implementation. Seventeen of 35 participants completed the survey, the majority of which were likely clinicians. Barriers and strategies to implementation rated as having the greatest impact were associated with the care team and institutional factors. Quantitative ratings add novel information to the RTP model that could potentially enhance the model's impact on aging research and practice.

Objectives: Creating age-friendly cities (AFCs) is essential for supporting older adults' well-being. The WHO's 2007 guide outlines key features of AFCs, including social inclusion. Despite increasing numbers of AFC programmes, diverse experiences of ageing are often overlooked.

The growth and metabolism of caproic acid - producing bacteria (CPBs) in the pit mud (PM) within the Huangshui (HS) are crucial for both the quality of Chinese Nongxiangxing Baijiu (NXXB) fermentation and the aging of the PM. Based on multi-database co-annotation and key affecting factors identification of CPBs, the growth and metabolites pattern of CPBs was studied through the pH-mediated PM-HS co-fermentation. CPBs in PM were mainly from Oscillospiraceae family.

Background: Vascular aging is the basis of many chronic diseases of the aged, such as hypertension, coronary heart disease and stroke.
Objective: This study aims to deepen our understanding of the pathological mechanisms of vascular aging by combining multiple big data research methods, and reveal potential therapeutic targets and biomarkers.
Methods: WGCNA method was used to integrate the aortic transcriptome data of multiple age stages, and extract the key module and key pathway.

Background And Objectives: Lipid metabolism in older adults is affected by various factors including biological aging, functional decline, reduced physiologic reserve, and nutrient intake. The dysregulation of lipid metabolism could adversely affect brain health. This study investigated the association between year-to-year intraindividual lipid variability and subsequent risk of cognitive decline and dementia in community-dwelling older adults.

This study aims to examine the prevalence of abdominal obesity-dynapenia phenotype, identified by the presence of abdominal obesity and dynapenia, and understand its associated factors with a representative sample of the Brazilian population. Data were collected from the baseline of the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSI-Brasil) 2015-2016. Abdominal obesity was determined by a waist-to-height ratio ≥ 0.
