Greater subjective well-being (SWB) is associated with a myriad of positive outcomes across adulthood. While several studies have demonstrated a relationship between cognition and SWB, the current study extends previous work by examining the relationship between neurocognition and SWB across age and time. Data were drawn from 3,856 individuals between the ages of 18-99 years who participated in the Virginia Cognitive Aging Project, a prospective study of cognition in community dwelling adults. Participants completed a battery of neurocognitive tasks (assessing spatial visualization, episodic memory, reasoning, processing speed, and vocabulary) and measures assessing SWB (life satisfaction, positive affect, and negative affect). Results indicated that spatial visualization, episodic memory, and processing speed predicted life satisfaction only in specific age groups, but the magnitude of the coefficients were not significantly different between the groups, providing limited evidence of age moderation. Vocabulary was negatively associated with positive affect for all age groups. The temporal relationships between neurocognition and SWB were generally non-significant, and age did not moderate this relationship. Within the broader context of neurocognition, this study provides evidence that the relationship between neurocognition and SWB cross-sectionally may be partially age dependent for one facet of SWB, and the temporal relationship may be minimal.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how vision impairment affects neuropsychological and psychiatric outcomes in older adults who have experienced falls.
- It analyzed data from 668 Chinese adults aged 65-79, revealing that those with vision impairment reported higher levels of anxiety and depression, and lower cognitive function and life satisfaction compared to those without vision impairment.
- The findings highlight that vision impairment is a key predictor of negative mental health and cognitive outcomes in older adults with a history of falls, indicating a need for targeted interventions.
Hippocampal avoidance whole brain radiotherapy in brain metastasis using volumetric modulated arc therapy: experience from a Regional Cancer Centre of Eastern India.

Article Synopsis
- Whole-brain radiotherapy often leads to cognitive decline and diminished quality of life for patients with brain metastasis, while hippocampal-avoidance whole-brain radiotherapy (HA-WBRT) offers potential benefits in preserving cognitive function and quality of life.
- In a study involving 27 patients, HA-WBRT was used and cognitive function was assessed at multiple intervals, revealing a significant reduction in cognitive decline over time.
- Results indicated significant improvements in social well-being, while emotional well-being showed notable decline only at the 12-month mark, suggesting that HA-WBRT helps in maintaining overall quality of life for longer.
Subjective social status and well-being of adolescents and young adults in Ghanaian schools: conditional process analysis.

Background: With the growing concern and interest in the mental health and well-being of adolescents and young adults (AYAs) including those in schools, many studies have explored the bivariate relationship between subjective social status (SSS) and AYAs' subjective well-being (SWB). Acknowledging the spurious nature of this relationship, we assessed the relationship between SSS and SWB of AYAs in schools within Northern Ghana, focusing on the conditional indirect effect of monetary resource (MR) and sense of coherence (SoC).
Methods: We utilised a cross-sectional descriptive design to survey 1096 senior high school students from two regions in Ghana's Northern zone through a stratified sampling method.
A cross-sectional study of university students' pocket money variance and its relationship with digital health literacy and subjective well-being in Ghana.

Background: Mental health concerns of university students are gaining more attention since the emergence of the coronavirus disease. Consequently, scholars in education, health and psychology-related fields have attributed the dwindling subjective well-being (SWB) of students to their low levels of digital health literacy (DHL). However, little attention has been paid to an important variable like pocket money (PM) which might serve as a buffer against reduced levels of SWB.
