Deprescribing Fall Risk–Increasing Drugs in Older Adults: Implementation Challenges and a Conceptual Framework from the DeFRID Trial and Global Evidence
Background: Deprescribing fall risk–increasing drugs (FRIDs) is essential for reducing polypharmacy and falls in older adults, yet randomized controlled trials (RCTs) face unique implementation challenges. The DeFRID study is an ongoing ...

Heat stress and coping strategies among older adults in three Sunbelt cities in the United States
Background: Prevailing scientific evidence suggests that extreme heat poses a substantial threat to the health and well-being of older adults in the Sunbelt cities of the United States. However, prior research has not adequately addresse...

Chronic inflammation and multiple dimensions of aging among women in the Philippines
Age-related increases in chronic systemic inflammation are strong predictors of morbidity and mortality in high income countries, but evidence is lacking from lower- and middle-income settings where infectious diseases are more prevalent...

Planetary Health Diet Adherence and Frailty in Older Adults: Evidence from the Seniors-ENRICA Cohorts
Background: Frailty is a major determinant of disability and adverse outcomes in older adults. The Planetary Health Diet (PHD), a plant-based dietary pattern promoting environmental sustainability, has been associated with lower mortalit...

Association of vitamin D and B12 levels with actigraphic sleep in cognitively unimpaired middle-aged and older adults
Background: Low vitamin D and B12 levels are linked to low self-reported sleep quality and conditions comorbid with sleep disturbances in older adults. We examined the associations between serum vitamin D and B12 levels with actigraphic ...

The role of lifestyle medicine in shaping and supporting successful aging
Background: Within gerontology, various theoretical perspectives on what it means to age successfully have emerged over recent decades and garnered empirical support. Similarly, within medicine and related healthcare fields, research and...

Sex-specific multimorbidity clusters and all-cause mortality among community-dwelling older adults: findings from the ASPREE cohort
Background: Multimorbidity is common in older adults, but sex differences in chronic condition clustering remain unclear. This study explored multimorbidity clusters and their associations with all-cause mortality among community-dwellin...

Exploring Epigenetic Aging and Cognitive Change in Middle Adulthood
Greater age deviation (AgeDev), in which a person’s biological age is older than their chronological age, is associated with worse cognitive performance. Most findings, however, rely on lab-administered cognitive measures and do not acco...

Hallmarks of Aging Associate with High Intensity Interval Training Benefits and Frailty in Female C57Bl/6J Mice
Frailty and cognitive decline are common among older adults, increasing risks of disability and loss of independence. We have previously demonstrated in mice that short session (≤10 minute) high-intensity interval training (HIIT) is an e...
