Factors Associated With the Ability To Keep Up With Technology Developments: Findings From a National Multigenerational Cross-Sectional Survey in Sweden

Factors Associated With the Ability To Keep Up With Technology Developments: Findings From a National Multigenerational Cross-Sectional Survey in Sweden

Over the last decade, research on aging and technology has expanded extensively, and potential benefits of technology to support active and healthy aging have been identified [1-3]. Current and future generations of older adults are all immersed in the process of adopting, choosing, and using various technologies available today. The role of technology in promoting active and healthy aging is becoming increasingly relevant for people of all ages [4,5].

Awareness and Attitudes of University Students in Bangladesh Toward Cancer: Cross-Sectional Study

Awareness and Attitudes of University Students in Bangladesh Toward Cancer: Cross-Sectional Study

In addition, misconceptions remain widespread; many people continue to associate cancer solely with smoking or genetic predisposition while underestimating the roles of obesity, diet, reproductive factors, aging, and infectious agents in carcinogenesis [13]. Addressing these knowledge gaps is vital, as improved cancer awareness has been shown to correlate with increased participation in screening programs and healthier lifestyle choices [14].

Assessment of Bidirectional and Threshold-Response Associations Between Cognitive Function and Physical Performance: Nationwide Cross-Sectional Study

Assessment of Bidirectional and Threshold-Response Associations Between Cognitive Function and Physical Performance: Nationwide Cross-Sectional Study

The global population is aging at an accelerated rate, with the proportion of individuals aged ≥60 years projected to reach 2.1 billion by 2050 [1]. This demographic shift amplifies the dual burden of cognitive decline and physical disability, which synergistically exacerbate risks of falls, hospitalization, and dependency [2-4]. Cognitive function, encompassing memory, executive control, and information processing, deteriorates progressively from mild cognitive impairment to dementia.

Perspectives of Older Adults on Assistive Technology: Qualitative Study

Perspectives of Older Adults on Assistive Technology: Qualitative Study

The global population is aging rapidly, posing challenges to health care systems. In Canada, adults aged ≥65 years comprised 14% of the population in 2009 and are expected to reach 23% by 2030 [1]. Providing them with proper care and enabling them to age comfortably at home is crucial, with significant societal and economic implications [2]. Effective management of chronic conditions and health deterioration can improve well-being [3] while reducing costs related to institutional care [4-6].

Urban Chinese Community-Dwelling Older Adults’ Expectations Regarding the Delivery of Integrated Care Through Case Managers: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study

Urban Chinese Community-Dwelling Older Adults’ Expectations Regarding the Delivery of Integrated Care Through Case Managers: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study

The National Bureau of Statistics reported that by the end of 2023, China’s aging population (60 years or older) surpassed 290 million, representing approximately 21.1% of the total population [1]. More than half of this demographic faces high morbidity rates, with highly prevalent conditions such as type 2 diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and hypertension [2,3].

Design, Implementation, and Evaluation of a Community-Based Phygital Telemonitoring Program for Older Adults: Multisite Retrospective Pilot Study in Singapore

Design, Implementation, and Evaluation of a Community-Based Phygital Telemonitoring Program for Older Adults: Multisite Retrospective Pilot Study in Singapore

The global challenges of aging arise from people living longer and falling birth rates [1], leading to a projected doubling of the population aged 65 years or older from 2021 to 2050 [2]. It is accompanied by a gradual deterioration of physical and mental capacities and increased vulnerability to diseases [3].

Urban Quality and Biochemical, Hematological, and Nutritional Markers in Older Adults: Cross-Sectional Geospatial Study

Urban Quality and Biochemical, Hematological, and Nutritional Markers in Older Adults: Cross-Sectional Geospatial Study

Global demographic changes have indicated an accelerated increase in the aging population, along with a rise in the prevalence of older adults [1]. This demographic transition has prompted the analysis of various key factors associated with the aging process, with frailty being one of the primary foci in geriatric medicine [2].

Effects of Computerized Cognitive Training on Vesicular Acetylcholine Transporter Levels using [18F]Fluoroethoxybenzovesamicol Positron Emission Tomography in Healthy Older Adults: Results from the Improving Neurological Health in Aging via Neuroplasticity-based Computerized Exercise (INHANCE) Randomized Clinical Trial

Effects of Computerized Cognitive Training on Vesicular Acetylcholine Transporter Levels using [18F]Fluoroethoxybenzovesamicol Positron Emission Tomography in Healthy Older Adults: Results from the Improving Neurological Health in Aging via Neuroplasticity-based Computerized Exercise (INHANCE) Randomized Clinical Trial

Aging is the strongest known risk factor for dementia, with the risk doubling approximately every 5 years beyond the age of 65 [1]. At the neurological level, aging induces significant system-wide alterations, including decreased or impaired signaling from neuromodulatory centers that gate synaptic plasticity [2-6], expansion of spatiotemporal receptive-field size [7], increased temporal integration windows [8], and elevated neuronal noise [9].

Effectiveness of Tocotrienol-Rich Fraction in Older Adults: Protocol for a Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial

Aging is a progressive process characterized by the gradual loss of tissue and organ function over time [1]. Two theories of aging include the free radical theory of aging, which later evolved into the oxidative stress theory of aging, and a theory based on low-grade inflammation, or inflammaging, in older adults.

Representation of Rural Older Adults in AI for Health Research: Systematic Literature Review

Representation of Rural Older Adults in AI for Health Research: Systematic Literature Review

The global aging population presents significant opportunities to expand and extend health care, and artificial intelligence (AI) offers promising avenues to address these issues. As the population gets older, successful AI integration into health care systems necessitates a deeper understanding of the specific needs and perspectives of older adults.
