IntroductionOlder persons who are temporarily non-ambulant are often confronted with the adverse health effects of physical inactivity. These adverse health effects include sarcopenia, reduced strength, reduced health-related quality of life and increased mortality. To counteract those negative effects of immobility, it is important to know how older persons can stay...Read more

BackgroundWith the rapid aging of the global population, the wellbeing of urban-dwelling older adults living alone is linked to increasing research attention.MethodsData were derived from the 2017–2018 wave of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS). A sample of 1,261 urban-dwelling older adults living alone was analyzed. Sleep quality, depression,...Read more

Stroke survivors face a substantially increased risk of hip fractures due to a combination of motor impairments, falls, and stroke-induced bone density loss. Conversely, hip fractures in this population are associated with elevated mortality, reduced functional recovery, and greater healthcare burden. This narrative review synthesizes current evidence on the epidemiological,...Read more

BackgroundAlzheimer’s disease (AD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive cognitive impairment, with the β-amyloid protein (Aβ) aggregation as a core pathological driver. As global aging intensifies, AD poses a severe public health burden, highlighting the urgency of developing effective immunotherapies. This review aims to systematically summarize the research...Read more

It has been well-established that social isolation, loneliness, and inadequate social support are critical determinants of psychological and physical outcomes in persons with cancer. In contrast to latent variable analysis, upon which most current research is based, psychometric network analysis offers a framework for understanding how these social factors relate...Read more
