This study aimed to investigate gender convergence or divergence among older adults in China, a Confucian society with strong persistence of gender role differentiation. We examined how multiple stressors influence depression simultaneously, with gender comparison approach. The data were drawn from the China Longitudinal Aging Social Survey study ( = 8,097). Results indicated that older women reported significantly higher levels of depression than men, yet overall depressive symptoms showed many gender similarities. Surprisingly, our analyses supported the hypothesis of gender convergence in stressors predicting late-life depression. Recommendations for practice and further research priorities based on findings are discussed.

Aging remains the foremost risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, surpassing traditional factors in epidemiological significance. This review elucidates the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying vascular aging, with an emphasis on sex differences that influence disease progression and clinical outcomes in older adults. We discuss the convergence of aging processes at the macro- and microvascular levels and their contributions to the pathogenesis of vascular diseases.

Cancer is a major health challenge globally and in Sri Lanka. Providing comprehensive information to patients is crucial for improving treatment outcomes and patient satisfaction, supported by evidence of its effectiveness in managing cancer pain. EORTC QLQ-INFO25, an information module developed by the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Group, is aimed at assessing cancer patients' perception of information received during different phases of care.

Background: Prior studies have shown differences in the genetic etiology and clinical presentation of Alzheimer's Disease across populations. For example, for multiple genetic loci associated with AD, effect sizes can vary drastically between individuals of different ancestral backgrounds. Few investigations into differences in epigenetic features like DNA methylation have been conducted in AD, particularly in diverse individuals.

Background: Evidence from multiple converging sources has demonstrated the clear benefits of physical activity in promoting mental health and improving cognitive function. However, more than 54% of Indians do not engage in the recommended amount of physical activity. The present study aims to explore the association of physical activity with cognitive abilities among the elderly aging population in an urban Indian setting.
