Neurodegenerative Disease Death Certification Among National Football League Players With Dementia

Charlotte B. Luster, Christopher J. Nowinski, Bobak Abdolmohammadi, Evan D. Feigel, Michael J. Mastrodicasa, Brenna Finegan, Lee Goldstein, Douglas I. Katz, Robert C. Cantu, Brigid Dwyer, Yorghos Tripodis, Thor D. Stein, Michael L. Alosco, Ann C. McKee, Jesse Mez, Daniel H. Daneshvar

Importance Researchers frequently use death certificate data to evaluate occupational risks among National Football League (NFL) players, demonstrating elevated neurodegenerative mortality risk. Robust epidemiologic data suggest deaths attributable to neurodegenerative disease (NDD) are frequently underreported on death certificates, leading to substantial underascertainment of neurodegenerative mortality. Better characterization of the factors underlying neurodegenerative death certification is critical to address …

Anthropometric Aging Links Neuromusculoskeletal Diseases to Cognitive and Physical Deficits

Qu Tian, Suha Shin, Amber B Courtier, Kong Y Chen, Luigi Ferrucci

Abstract Background Aging changes whole-body anthropometry. Accelerated anthropometric aging can be operationalized as the age gap between the anthropometric-predicted age and the chronological age (AAG). What disease conditions affect AAG and subsequent functional deficits remains unclear. Methods In 302 Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging participants (mean age=71.7 years, 58% women, 30% Black), we examined the associations between AAG and disease conditions using multivariable linear regression, adjusted for a …

Social alienation among older adults with cognitive frailty: a latent profile analysis

Songqing Zhao, Weiping Lu, Peng Lu, Li Zhou, Yan He, Yaohuan Sun, Zeen Wang

Background The rising prevalence of cognitive frailty among older adults necessitates a deeper understanding of its psychosocial consequences. Social alienation, a critical yet understudied dimension, may exhibit significant heterogeneity in this vulnerable population, with distinct subgroups potentially requiring tailored interventions. Elucidating these patterns could inform more targeted geriatric care strategies. Objectives This study aimed to identify latent profiles of social alienation among older adults wit …

Epicardial Adipose Tissue Shows No Significant Incremental Value for Discriminating Coronary Artery Disease in Adults Aged 80 Years and Older: A Machine Learning Analysis

Jingyi Li, Ziwei Zhu, Xuefeng Ni, Hui Lian

Background: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) has been associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) in middle-aged and mixed-age populations, but its value in adults aged 80 years and older remains uncertain. This study investigated whether computed tomography (CT)-derived EAT volume provides incremental value for discriminating CAD in this very elderly population. Methods: We retrospectively included 155 patients aged ≥80 years who underwent coronary imaging evaluation between 2020 and 2022. EAT volume was quantifi …

Messaging Strategies for Tobacco Prevention and Cessation Among People with Depression: A Scoping Review

Allison Worsdale, Mayla Gilliam, Sarah Kowitt, Marc Steinberg, Adam O Goldstein, M Justin Byron

Abstract Introduction Depression is strongly associated with higher tobacco use and lower quit rate; few communication campaigns have been designed with these mental health factors in mind. This scoping review compiles existing research on tobacco prevention and cessation messaging involving people with depression to identify gaps and opportunities for future message development. Methods Sources included PubMed, PsycINFO, Scopus, Academic Search Premier, and ProQuest Central (November - December 2024). The 55 studi …

Trends in osteoarthritis burden and the role of body mass index among older U.S. adults, 1999–2023: a NHANES and GBD analysis

Rongxiang Sun, Zhifeng Mo, Maolin Liu, Qinglong Jian

Objective: To examine the association between body mass index (BMI) and osteoarthritis (OA) among U.S. adults aged ≥55 years and to characterize national temporal trends, geographic patterns, and future burden projections. Methods: This multi-source study integrated NHANES (1999–2023) and GBD data. Multivariable logistic regression assessed BMI–OA associations with sex-stratified, subgroup, and interaction analyses. NHANES survey-weighted temporal trends in obesity and OA prevalence were examined across cycles. GBD …

The 25-Year Evolution of Lithium as a Disease-Modifying Agent in Dementia

Gregory J. Moore, Niranjan Bose, Ioline D. Henter, Husseini K. Manji

Importance Lithium, a long-established cornerstone therapy for bipolar disorder, is a biologically plausible disease-modifying agent for neurodegenerative disorders, including mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer disease (AD). Observations Rather than targeting a single pathology like amyloid or tau, lithium acts across multiple cellular resilience pathways. Chronic lithium exposure induces the anti-apoptotic protein B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), enhances brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling, in …

Health Belief Model Correlates of Behavioural Response to Diabetic Retinopathy Warning Signs Among Older Adults with Type 2 Diabetes: A Cross-Sectional Study in Rural Northeast Thailand

Weerasak Aneksak, Doonnaput Khowhit, Nakkharot Daengwongsa, Aranya Chaithawatwibun, Natthawut Suriya

Background: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is an avoidable cause of sight loss among adults whose type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is poorly controlled. Despite Thailand’s subsidised retinal-screening programme, uptake among rural older adults remains suboptimal. The objectives were to describe DR warning-sign awareness (WSAS) and Health Belief Model (HBM) construct scores, and to identify independent correlates of behavioural response to DR warning signs (WSBRS) after adjustment for sociodemographic covariates. Methods: …

Association Between Barthel Index and Delirium During Hospitalization in Older Patients with Acute Decompensated Heart Failure

Michiaki Nagai, Keigo Dote, Masaya Kato, Noboru Oda, Sophie Chang, Phillip J. Tully, Tarun Dasari

Background: Although delirium is an acute confusional state, the available literature identifies impaired activities of daily living (ADL) as a predisposing factor. However, the question of whether ADL is associated with delirium in older patients with heart failure (HF) has not been evaluated. This study investigated the relationship between ADL and delirium and further explored whether HF phenotype moderates the relationship in older patients with acute decompensated HF (ADHF). Methods: In older patients with ADH …

Long‐Term Industrial Emissions Exposure and Cognitive Impairment in Older U.S. Adults: A Longitudinal Cohort Study

Gabrielle E. Husted, Susan L. Cassels, Elizabeth S. Ackert, Barbara B. Bendlin

ABSTRACT Background The demographic shift toward an older global population is increasing the burden of Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD). While age is the strongest risk factor, environmental toxicants are increasingly recognized as contributors to cognitive decline. Plastics and rubber manufacturing facilities emit neurotoxic chemicals, yet their relationship to ADRD risk remains understudied. This study assesses whether exposure to plastics/rubber industry emissions is associated with ADRD risk an …

Minority Stress Theory and Potential Applications to Spirituality in LGBTQ People

John Ward

Sexual minority stress theory is widely used in the literature surrounding lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) individuals. Sexual minority stress theory suggests that proximal (internalized) and distal (external) stressors lead to poor mental and physical health outcomes. Though the theory has been broadly used in the literature, there has been little to no integration of religion and spirituality with sexual minority stress. This article seeks to frame sexual minority stress theory as a t …
