What Is Already Known About This Topic?: Chronic disease multimorbidity is prevalent among older Chinese people, seriously affecting their well-being and quality of life.

What Is Added By This Report?: This study estimated the impact of multimorbidity on the risk of health state transitions and health expectancy among older adults in China. It used population-representative, long-term longitudinal data and multi-state Markov modeling along with microsimulation methods.

What Are The Implications For Public Health Practice?: The study results suggest that the Chinese government should strengthen the prevention and management of multimorbidity and accelerate the transition from chronic disease management to multimorbidity management.

Objectives: With increasing global life expectancy, cognitive interventions hold promise in mitigating cognitive decline and fostering healthy aging. Despite the demand for evidence-based interventions, there have been few attempts to summarize existing evidence. This study aims to assess the effectiveness and feasibility of unimodal and multimodal cognitive interventions for cognitively healthy older adults.

Backgrounds: PSA screening is advocated in men with a life expectancy of >10 years. With a rising mean life expectancy of 81 years in Australia, many men in their 70s have life expectancies of >10 years. Additionally, advanced age is an independent risk factor for high grade prostate cancer.

Contextual differences in parent-child interactions: A study on toddlers at elevated likelihood of autism and their mothers.

Parent-child interactions are important for children's emotional and behavioral development. In autism research, parent-child interactions are typically observed during free play. Yet, studies outside the autism field underscored the importance of observing parent-child interactions during other contexts, as parents' behaviors may depend on the context, and different contexts may reveal different relationships between parents' and children's behaviors.

Humans can perceive whether an aperture is passable; this ability is known as passable width perception. Previous studies have shown that passable width in older adults is larger when walking and suggested the effect of larger body sway in older adults while walking on passable width expansion. However, no studies have directly investigated this.

In the presence of stressful environments, the SKN-1 cytoprotective transcription factor is activated to induce the expression of gene targets that can restore homeostasis. However, chronic activation of SKN-1 results in diminished health and a reduction of lifespan. Here we demonstrate the necessity of modulating SKN-1 activity to maintain the longevity-promoting effects associated with genetic mutations that impair daf-2/insulin receptor signaling, the eat-2 model of dietary restriction, and glp-1-dependent loss of germ cell proliferation.
