Premature frailty is a critical challenge for young breast cancer survivors (YBCSs), impacting their health and perpetuating gender inequality through heightened vulnerability and marginalization. While digital health shows promise in frailty screening, its effectiveness for comprehensively managing frailty remains inconclusive. This randomized controlled trial, registered at the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2200058823), tests the "AI-TA" program's efficacy on premature frailty and quality of life in YBCSs. The intervention group received a gender- and generation-sensitive program combining artificial intelligence interactions and humanities skills. The control group received 12 weeks of online information support. Both groups improved in frailty dimensions (P < 0.05); the intervention group showed notable enhancements in psychological (P = 0.013) and social frailty (P < 0.001). Quality of life also improved more in the intervention group from T1 to T2 (β = 15.384, 95% CI:13.028-17.740, P < 0.001). Results show a gender- and generation-sensitive digital humanistic program can optimize frailty management, promoting survivorship and gender equity.

Despite its importance, the process of aging remains poorly understood. Epigenetic dysregulation has been proposed as a key driver of the aging process.

Article Synopsis
- Aging leads to physiological changes and increased disease vulnerability, culminating in higher mortality rates as individuals get older.
- Regular physical activity (PA) and exercise can counteract aging effects, improve health span, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer.
- Personalized exercise plans, including various forms of training like aerobic and resistance exercises, are essential for maintaining health and functionality in older adults, particularly those with age-related issues.
Impact of a Physical Exercise and Health Education Program on Metabolic Syndrome and Quality of Life in Postmenopausal Breast Cancer Women Undergoing Adjuvant Treatment with Aromatase Inhibitors.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the impact of a physical exercise and health education program on metabolic syndrome (MS) and quality of life (QoL) in postmenopausal women with breast cancer who are undergoing treatment with aromatase inhibitors.
- - Results showed a significant reduction in the prevalence of MS from 37.7% to 15.1% after three months, with notable improvements in hypertension, central obesity, and triglyceride levels, while fasting glucose and HDL levels remained unchanged.
- - Improvements in QoL were statistically significant, and factors such as being married and attending health education sessions positively predicted better MS outcomes.
Importance: Schizophrenia is associated with increased age-related morbidity, mortality, and frailty, which are not entirely explained by behavioral factors. Prior studies using epigenetic clocks have suggested that schizophrenia is associated with accelerated aging, however these studies have primarily used unidimensional clocks that summarize aging as a single "biological age" score.
Objective: This meta-analysis uses multidimensional epigenetic clocks that split aging into multiple scores to analyze biological aging in schizophrenia.
