Unhealthful lifestyle factors, such as obesity, disrupt organismal homeostasis and accelerate cancer pathogenesis, partly through metabolic and immunological dysregulation. Exercise is a prototypical strategy that maintains and restores homeostasis at the organismal, tissue, cellular and molecular levels and can prevent or inhibit numerous disease conditions, including cancer. Here, we review unhealthful lifestyle factors that contribute to metabolic and immunological dysregulation and drive tumourigenesis, focusing on patient physiology (host)-tissue-tumour microenvironment interactions. We also discuss how exercise may influence distant tissue microenvironments, thereby improving tissue function through both metabolic and immunospecific pathways. Finally, we consider future directions that merit consideration in basic and clinical translational exercise studies.

Background/objectives: Sex differences in nutrition-related determinants of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) exist among the elderly. This study aimed to explore sex-specific influencing factors of MCI.

Methods: A case-control study was conducted in 2020 involving 1086 elderly people aged 55 years and above from four sites in Zhejiang Province, China.

Objective: Plant-based diets (PBD) are generally promoted as beneficial for health. However, whether this is also the case at older ages, when energy deficits, muscle loss and frailty affect health, is unclear. Research has shown that among older adults, particularly in men, a healthful PBD is associated with a lower frailty risk.

Plant-Based Diets and Their Associations with Physical Performance in the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging.

Nutrients

December 2024

Baltimore Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Division of Gerontology, Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine, Department of Medicine, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD 21201, USA.

Background: Plant-based diets are associated with various health benefits; however, their impact on physical performance in aging populations remains unclear.

Objectives: To investigate the associations between adherence to plant-based diets and physical performance, focusing on their potential protective effects against age-related declines in function.

Methods: Data were obtained from men and women aged 40 years or older in the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (BLSA) (mean ± SD age: 68 ± 13 years at the first dietary visit; n = 1389).

Article Synopsis
  • - This study investigates how different diet quality indices relate to the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) specifically in British adults, expanding beyond previous research focused largely on the Mediterranean diet.
  • - Researchers analyzed data from 106,870 UK Biobank participants over a median follow-up of 9.27 years, utilizing various dietary assessments to evaluate impacts on CKD incidence.
  • - Findings indicated that greater adherence to healthier diets like the alternate Mediterranean diet (aMED), DASH, and healthful Plant-Based Diet Index (hPDI) was linked to a reduced risk of CKD, while adherence to unhealthful Plant-Based Diet Index (uPDI) and Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) was associated with increased

Plant-based diets are recognized for their health benefits. However, evidence on the association between plant-based diet quality and aging in the US population is limited. This study aimed to investigate the association between different plant-based diet indices, phenotypic age acceleration (PhenoAgeAccel), and biological age acceleration (BioAgeAccel).
