Background: The multisite SuperAging Research Initiative (SRI) was established in 2021 to identify resilience and resistance factors promoting cognitive healthspan through a harmonized multidisciplinary protocol with prospective data collection. The designation of SuperAger is reserved for individuals age 80+ with episodic memory performance that is at least average for those 2-3 decades younger. Research studies of this relatively uncommon phenotype allow for investigations of fundamental importance to the neurobiology of brain aging, resilience, resistance, and avoidance of cognitive decline related to "average aging" and more severe impairments associated with Alzheimer's and related dementias (ADRD).

Background: Accurate assessment of cognitive impairment in low-income settings may require consideration of complex psychosocial variables (PV). Failure to consider the association of PV with biological factors, such as HIV, could lead to false classification of cognitive impairment. We investigated the impact of PV on cognitive performance in people with HIV (PWH) and without in a low-income area of Cape Town, South Africa.

Background: There is longstanding evidence that the presence of psychosis in neurocognitive disorders is associated with faster deterioration of cognitive function. These reports also describe greater care partner burden, higher rates of institutionalization and functional decline, especially among ethnoculturally diverse persons. The goal of this study is to examine the association of race/ethnicity with rates of psychosis in neurocognitive disorders among ethnoculturally diverse older persons.

Background And Hypothesis: In accordance with the Cognitive Model of Negative Symptoms, defeatist performance beliefs (DPBs) are an important psychosocial mechanism of negative symptoms in schizophrenia-spectrum groups. DPBs are also mediators of negative symptom improvement in clinical trials. Despite the clinical significance of DPBs and their inclusion as a mechanism of change measure in clinical trials, the psychometric properties of the DPB scale have not been examined in any schizophrenia-spectrum group.

Drunkorexia refers to high-risk behaviors that involve the intersection of disordered eating behaviors and risky alcohol consumption. This study utilized the extended Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) to identify potential psychosocial factors that contribute to drunkorexia among students (484 undergraduate students) from a midwestern Mid-sized university. This cross-sectional study used online surveys designed to measure various drunkorexia-related behaviors including alcohol consumption, calorie restriction, excessive exercise, and purging utilizing antecedents of the TPB.
