Uncover the latest and most impactful research in Ageing. Explore pioneering discoveries, insightful ideas and new methods from leading researchers in the field.
Background Lower levels of physical activity are associated with morbidity and risk of functional decline with aging. Retirement occurs through heterogeneous pathways that may be associated with physical activity trajectories in later life. We...
Background Living arrangements may reflect both social support and care needs in later life, but longitudinal evidence among older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) remains limited. This study examined the longitudinal associations of...
Background The aging population faces increased risks of metabolic and cognitive decline, with emerging evidence linking gut microbiota to exercise-mediated health benefits. Senescence-accelerated mouse prone 6 (SAMP6) exhibits early aging...
This study investigated the influence of biological maturation and relative age on player selection during transition phases in a German youth football academy. In addition, it examined the extent to which biological maturation and relative age were...
Maternal age is a key physiological determinant of mammary gland function, yet its influence on milk molecular architecture remains poorly defined. Here, we applied an integrative multi-omics framework combining whey proteomics, milk fat globule...
As population aging accelerates, public transport fare discounts have become a crucial tool for cities to address the mobility needs of the elderly. This study aims to optimize such policies by examining the psychological decision-making process of...
With the increasing rates of cesarean section (CS), cesarean section scar defect (CSD) has become an escalating clinical concern due to uterine dysfunction and reduced fertility. However, the biological basis of CSD remains poorly understood,...
The body roundness index (BRI) is an emerging anthropometric indicator of abdominal obesity. However, the longitudinal association between BRI trajectories and the risk of hyperuricemia remains unclear. This study aimed to examine the association...
Purpose Infectious mononucleosis (IM) is a common presentation of primary Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection in adolescence and later, but rare in childhood. Occasionally, IM leads to a hospital contact with an IM diagnosis (hospIM). Knowing the...
Bottled food packaging may pose operational challenges for older adults due to age-related declines in physical strength, joint mobility, and sensory perception. However, limited research has systematically examined how different packaging usability...
Dementia prevalence is increasing worldwide, with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) being the most common type. Amyloid-beta (Aβ) aggregation is an early pathological event in AD. Although carotenoids have been shown in vitro to inhibit Aβ aggregation...
In Indonesia, intergenerational co-residence in later life is widely regarded as a normative arrangement, yet older adults’ own motivations for and reservations about living with their adult children remain underexamined. This study explored how...
Objective To analyse age-related changes in differential corneal thickness (DCT) and curvature (DCC) between the two principal meridians and between the vertical and horizontal meridians, and to examine their relationship with with-the-rule (WTR) and...
Hintergrund Grundsicherung im Alter wird häufig nicht in Anspruch genommen; Scham gilt als mögliche Barriere. Wenig geklärt ist, wie Altersarmut in ein gesellschaftlich vermitteltes Urteil über Lebensführung und Person übersetzt wird. Fragestellung...
Background Timely rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) and appropriate wound care are essential after potential rabies exposure, and older adults may face barriers to both. This study described presentation timing and pre-hospital wound management...
Introduction Epidermal aging is characterized by progressive structural alterations, including reduced keratinocyte density, altered cellular morphology, and widened intercellular spacing (ICS). Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) combined with...
Purpose To assess age-related differences in appearance satisfaction among women. Methods This Danish nationwide survey- and register-based study included women aged 20–79 years undergoing elective primary ventral hernia repair (defect width ≤ 4 cm)...
Introduction Age-based disparities in non-fatal health outcomes are critical yet underexplored in fragile sub-Saharan African settings, where communicable, maternal, perinatal, and nutritional conditions drive significant morbidity. This study...
This second edition of the highly successful handbook builds on the first by offering a comprehensive, engaging, and up-to-date treatment of developments within the field of the sociology of aging. Beyond presenting an overview and update of...
Introduction Sarcopenia is a common health problem among older individuals, characterized by a progressive and generalized skeletal disorder that leads to a consistent decline in muscle strength and functional capacity. It increases the likelihood of...
