Association of physical activity levels with frailty index in elderly Chinese: evidence from the China health and retirement longitudinal study (CHARLS)
As the global trend of population aging intensifies, frailty among the elderly has emerged as a significant public Health concern. This study examines the relationship between physical activity levels and the Frailty Index in older adults, utilizing data from the 2018 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). The study sample included 10,240 Chinese adults aged ≥ 60 years.Frailty was assessed using the Frailty Index (FI), which was calculated based on the accumulation of...
Fate mapping of peripherally-derived macrophages after traumatic brain injury in mice reveals a long-lasting population with a distinct transcriptomic signature
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an environmental risk factor for dementia and long-term neurological deficits, posing a significant public health challenge. TBI-induced neuroinflammation involves both brain-resident microglia and peripheral monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs). Previous research has shown that MDMs contribute to the development of long-term memory deficits, yet their long-term behavior following brain infiltration remains unclear. To address this, our study uses two complementary...
The energy resistance principle
Living organisms are physical-energetic systems that must obey simple principles guiding energy transformation across physical and temporal scales. The energy resistance principle (ERP) describes behavior and transformation of energy in the carbon-based circuitry of biology. We show how energy resistance (éR) is the fundamental property that enables transformation, converting into useful work the unformed energy potential of food-derived electrons fluxing toward oxygen. Although éR is required...
