Background: Loneliness has been linked to cognitive decline and an elevated risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Previous studies measured loneliness at a single point time, which may not accurately capture the longitudinal changes of different loneliness types (e.g.

Background: Aging associates with decreased functional connectivity between brain regions linked to musical rhythm perception. Producing rhythmic music may result in strengthened functional connectivity of these regions, but more evidence is needed to support intervention design. Currently, few studies directly contrast younger and older adults' rhythmic music performance to understand brain-behavior relationships.

University of Missouri, Columbia, MO, USA.
Background: Despite data showing nutritional interventions high in antioxidant/anti-inflammatory properties (anthocyanin-rich foods such as blueberries/elderberries) may decrease risk of memory loss and cognitive decline, evidence for such effects in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients is limited. Therefore, we examined preliminary effects of American elderberry (Sambucus nigra canadensis) juice on cognition and inflammatory markers in MCI patients in a double-blind placebo-controlled trial.
Method: MCI patients (N = 24, M = 76.

Background: The dual-cyclical relationship between language and cognition, encapsulated in linguistic relativity, underscores the reciprocal influence of thoughts on communication and vice-versa. This study explores the intricate changes in pragmatics, a fundamental aspect of human communication, during the aging process, considering changes in sensory abilities, cognition, and language.
Method: Sixty participants, aged ≥50 years with a minimum of five years of formal education, were included, excluding those with neurological or psychological illnesses.

Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre, Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.
Background: Low-middle income countries in Latin America, including Brazil, face a higher prevalence of cognitive decline compared to high-income countries, leading to social-economic and healthcare implications. Several studies have showed an association between reduced physical function and cognitive decline. However, there remains a gap in the understanding of this relationship within the older Brazilian population.
