Centre for the Study of Aging and Human Development and Geriatrics Division, Medical School of Duke University, Durham, North Carolina, USA.
The effects of tea consumption on delaying aging and the onset of age-related disabilities have been reported; however, it is unclear whether these benefits are impacted by genes. This study aimed to examine the associations between tea consumption and activities of daily living (ADL) and explore the role of genetic factors. Data from 46,487 older adults aged 64-105 who participated in at least one data wave of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) conducted in 2002, 2005, 2008, 2011, 2014, and 2018 were analyzed.

Background: To enhance the precision of measuring, analyzing, and forecasting care needs for older adults with physical and/or mental disabilities, we developed the Physical Disability Index (PDI) and Mental Disability Index (MDI). Furthermore, we evaluated the reliability and validity of the PDI and MDI. Additionally, we investigate their associations with falls to further indicate the predictive validity.

Background: Previous research has shown that lack of leisure activities, either outdoor or social activities, impedes cognitive function. However, the interrelationship between poor cognition and deficient activities is understudied. In addition, whether exposure to air pollution, such as PM, can accelerate the detrimental 'inactivity-poor cognition' cycle, is worthy of investigation.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates why females generally have longer lifespans than males, revealing that genetic factors linked to longevity are more significant in females based on extensive analysis of data from centenarians in China.
- The research highlights that findings are consistent across various regions in China and are supported by analyses involving a large dataset of over 5,000 centenarians, indicating a potentially global pattern in genetic associations with longevity.
- The study suggests moving away from a "one-size-fits-all" approach in healthcare, encouraging tailored medical interventions that account for sex-based genetic differences and their impacts on health outcomes.
Trade-offs between cold protection and air pollution-induced mortality of China's heating policy.

Vanke School of Public Health, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China.
The winter heating policy in northern China was designed to safeguard households from the harsh subfreezing temperatures. However, it has inadvertently resulted in seasonal spikes in air pollution levels because of the reliance on coal as an energy source. While the loss of life years attributable to mortality from air pollution caused by winter heating has been estimated, the beneficial effect of protection from cold temperatures has not been assessed, primarily due to a lack of individual-level data linking these variables.

Article Synopsis
- - Researchers examined the link between genetics, complex diseases, and human longevity by analyzing polygenic risk scores (PRSs) for 225 diseases/traits in a sample of 2,178 centenarians and 2,299 middle-aged individuals.
- - Findings revealed that centenarians had lower genetic risks for stroke and low blood pressure (hypotension), but higher risks for schizophrenia and type 2 diabetes compared to younger individuals.
- - The study highlighted that certain genetic factors, like those related to the immune system, could positively impact longevity, while others, particularly associated with kidney issues in diabetes, had detrimental effects, supporting the notion of genetic trade-offs affecting lifespan.

Investigations on gender variations in the risk factors of cognitive impairment are required to promote future precision medicine among older adults, as well as to contribute to a better understanding of the "male-female health-survival paradox". With this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of "diet-smoking-gender" three-way interactions on cognitive impairments among Chinese older adults.
