Background: Lifestyle wellness programs help prevent and manage chronic diseases, yet few are designed for aging adults.
Purpose: Identify characteristics associated with aging adults' preferences for wellness program activities and delivery characteristics.
Subjects/methods: Cross-sectional, self-administered survey of a convenience sample of 386 adults aged ≥55 years. Logistic regression models identified characteristics influencing preferences.
Results: Current healthy behaviors, gender, and age influenced many preferences, while BMI, multiple chronic conditions, self-rated general health status, and quality of life did not.
Discussion: Incorporating aging adults' preferences for wellness programs will help design appealing and engaging programs.

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating, neuroinflammatory, progressive disease that severely affects human health of young adults. Neuroinflammation (NI) and demyelination, as well as their interactions, are key therapeutic targets to halt or slow disease progression. Potent steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as methylprednisolone (MP) and remyelinating neurosteroids such as allopregnanolone (ALLO) could be co-administered intranasally to enhance their efficacy by providing direct access to the central nervous system (CNS).

Background: As life expectancy increases, the number of older adults with functional limitations is also increasing. Functional limitations are associated with adverse health outcomes such as reduced independence, diminished quality of life (QoL), and disability. Therefore, identifying which activities of daily living (ADLs) are limiting and understanding the influencing factors are crucial for developing tailored interventions.

Introduction: Alongside sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle strength and power, known as dynapenia, increases the risk of functional disability and mortality in older adults. However, engaging in sporting activities during old age appears to enhance functional capacity. The differences in effects between athletes and sedentary individuals, as well as between genders, have yet to be fully clarified.
