Objectives: To explore the effects of exercise interventions on cognition, physical function, and quality of life among older adults with cognitive frailty.
Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted (PROSPERO [CRD42024532608]). PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, CNKI, WanFang, VIP, and SinoMed databases were searched from inception until December 18, 2023.
Results: We found exercise improved overall cognition, physical frailty, walking ability, gait speed, and so on among older adults with cognitive frailty, but the effect on physical fitness and quality of life was insignificant. Subgroup analysis revealed exercise conducted ≥3 times per week, each session lasting ≤45 min and cycle≤12 weeks, had better-improved cognition. Traditional mind-body exercises like Baduanjin were more effective than resistance training for enhancing cognition.
Conclusions: Exercise intervention benefits overall cognition and most physical functions, but its impact on physical fitness and quality of life remains to be confirmed by future studies.

Ageing is a major risk factor for cognitive and physical decline, but its mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study aimed to detect early cognitive and physical changes, and to analyze the pathway involved by monitoring two groups of mice: a young and an adult group. The study has identified the types of molecules involved in the hippocampus.

Alpha oscillations are associated with various cognitive functions. However, the determinants of alpha power variation remain ambiguous, primarily due to its inconsistent associations with autonomic responses and subjective states under different experimental conditions. To thoroughly examine the correlations between alpha power variation and these factors, we implemented a range of experimental conditions, encompassing attentional and emotional tasks, as well as a resting-state.

Biological anthropology seeks to understand humans from an evolutionary perspective. Namely, what makes humans different from other animals, and how did we get this way? Many relevant traits are physical, but many others are behavioral. For example, when and why did our species develop complex cognition, enduring bonds, and intense cooperation? Given the importance of behavior, biological anthropologists have a long history of turning to our primate relatives to generate hypotheses about the evolutionary processes shaping humans.

This article presents framework guidelines for the care of adolescent transgender (T) and non-binary (NB) individuals experiencing gender dysphoria (GD) and/or gender incongruence (GI). Developed by a multidisciplinary expert panel, these guidelines aim to address the complex medical, psychological, and social needs of this diverse population. The document emphasises the importance of individualised, affirmative care that respects the autonomy, identity, and rights of adolescents.
