CONCLUSIONS: Poor stereopsis was associated with cognitive dysfunction and had increased odds for cognitive impairment. Our findings suggest a cross-sectional association between stereopsis and cognitive dysfunction in community-dwelling older adults.

CONCLUSION: Our findings align with previous studies involving participants of comparable age, indicating comparable results, apart from disease-related participation restrictions. However, the significant proportion of patients who did not want to participate (55.7%) and the analysis of the reasons for nonparticipation suggest that the actual number of geriatric patients who do not engage online is higher. While this does not necessarily imply a complete rejection of digital products by this...

CONCLUSIONS: Poor sleep quality was associated with reduced physical function, especially in with advancing ageand in women. Targeted interventions to enhance sleep in the elderly may contribute to maintaining physical function and improve the quality of life of such patients.

CONCLUSIONS: Older adults are a valuable resource for community planning aimed at promoting healthy aging. Further research is needed to explore the full potential of using information from preventive home visits for fostering inclusive age-friendly community planning.

Mutation rates vary across the tree of life by many orders of magnitude, with fewer mutations occurring each generation in species that reproduce quickly and maintain large effective population sizes. A compelling explanation is that large effective population sizes facilitate selection against weakly deleterious "mutator alleles" such as variants that modulate cell division or interfere with the molecular efficacy of DNA repair. However, while the fidelity of a single cell division largely...

CONCLUSION: We observed no differences in the one-year risk of MVC between antidepressant subclasses. When selecting among antidepressant subclasses to manage depression in older adults, MVC risk should not guide prescribing decisions, and other considerations should take precedence.

Background: The percentage of the elderly population has increased worldwide. It has been estimated that environmental factors such as eating habits, sleep quality, and physical activity could be responsible for up to 75% of the aging process. Aims: To assess the nutritional status, diet quality, and sleep quality among the elderly in Jordanian. Methods: In a cross-sectional study targeting the Jordanian elderly, 426 participants agreed to participate. Sociodemographic data, anthropometric...
