Contrasting pathways to tree longevity in gymnosperms and angiosperms
Tree longevity is thought to increase in growth-limiting, adverse environments, but a quantitative assessment of drivers of global variation in tree longevity is lacking. We assemble a global database of maximum longevity for 739 tree species and analyse associations between longevity and climate, soil, and species' functional traits. Our results show two primary pathways towards long lifespans. The first is slow growth in resource-limited environments, consistent with the "adversity begets...
Psychometric evaluation of the Chinese version of the biobehavioural pain and movement questionnaire (BioPMovQ) in elderly CMP patients
CONCLUSIONS: The Chinese version of BioPMovQ has good reliability and validity, and can be used to measure the relationship between pain and various factors related to exercise behavior in elderly patients with CMP from a biological behavioral perspective.
Exploring the concept of a "friendly relationship to death" in geriatric patients
CONCLUSION: Among geriatric patients, a FRD appears to prevail, extending beyond a neutral acceptance of death's inevitability and existing independently of suicidality, depression, frailty, or disease burden. Understanding a FRD may help contextualize older individuals' acceptance of aging and could impact geriatric treatment outcomes.
End-of-life healthcare utilization and costs according to cause of death: a retrospective study
CONCLUSION: This study highlights distinct EoL healthcare and social services utilization and related costs among older adults, depending on the cause of death, age, and sex. These findings underscore the need for tailored care strategies that reflect different EoL trajectories.
Agricultural or gardening physical activity may slow neurovascular aging and prevent stroke and dementia: an experimental and cross-sectional study
CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that regular AGPA is associated with markers of slower neurovascular aging in older individuals. AGPA induces a combination of general physical activity-related and specific AGPA-related effects; moreover, it may offer similar or even greater benefits than physical activity alone. Therefore, habitual AGPA may serve as an effective preventive strategy for neurovascular aging.
