Older adults face increasing challenges related to healthcare access, social isolation, and digital exclusion. Community-based interventions such as time banking offer a potential approach to addressing these interconnected needs. This study examined...
Concern about brain health, personal experience with cognitive risk, and demographic factors may shape how middle-aged and older adults perceive and engage in brain health activities. This study examined factors associated with perceived usefulness o...
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic and related public-health measures, including physical distancing and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), disrupted routine healthcare communication and care delivery for older adults with combined hearin...
High-fat, high-sugar (HFS) diets have been linked to impairments in hippocampus-dependent memory and executive function in young adults. The present study investigated whether similar associations are observed in older adults and whether these effect...
The global shift toward an aging population presents significant challenges for healthcare systems. This is compounded by rising disability rates, fragmented care models that struggle to meet complex needs, and a digital divide caused by the emergenc...
Retirement is a major later-life transition, yet existing reviews have often examined selected dimensions of well-being rather than integrating evidence across physical, mental, social, financial and spiritual or meaning-related domains. This umbrell...
There are several regions characterized by exceptional longevity and lifestyle that promote health and well-being. Loma Linda, California, in the United States, provides a unique context to examine how lifestyle behaviors relate to oral health-relate...
Older adults represent a growing proportion of healthcare consumers, and yet little is known about the osteopathic practitioners who regularly manage this population. This study set out to understand what characteristics are common among New Zealand...
The performance of 94 elderly subjects (73 women) (71.72 ± 5.64) in an eye–hand and eye–foot coordination test (TST) was correlated with fear of falling, based on the results obtained on the International Fall Efficacy Scale (FES-I...
