Psycho-socio-economic factors and risk of cardiorenal multimorbidity in middle to older-aged adults: prospective findings from the Canadian longitudinal study on aging

2 weeks 1 day ago
Psycho-socio-economic factors (PSEFs) such as income and homeownership may influence the prevalence of cardiorenal multimorbidity (CRM), yet their prospective associations with CRM risk remain unclear. This study aimed to estimate CRM incidence and examine its relationships with multiple PSEFs in a nationally representative Canadian cohort. We analyzed data from 16,557 participants (mean age: 60.4 years; 48.9% men) in the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA) who were free of CRM at...

Does the concentration of public resources lead to health inequality? - a study on the impact of urban administrative hierarchy on the subjective physical and mental health of older adults

2 weeks 2 days ago
CONCLUSION: The study highlights the inequalities in the subjective physical and mental health of older adults across cities with different administrative hierarchies in China. By providing more resources, cities with higher administrative hierarchies can significantly improve older adults' life quality and subjective health. Meanwhile, marketization further strengthens the positive impact of urban administrative hierarchy on mental health. By introducing the urban administrative hierarchy as a...

The expanding roles of homologous recombination proteins in genome stability

2 weeks 2 days ago
Homologous recombination (HR) is traditionally portrayed as a DNA double-strand break repair pathway. However, emerging evidence positions RAD51, its partners BRCA1, BRCA2, and other HR factors at the core of a broader genome-maintenance network that operates by a "prevent and protect" strategy extending beyond repair. Here, we review how RAD51 can shield DNA from nucleolytic processing mediated by MRE11 and related nucleases, promote fork reversal, suppress replicative DNA gaps accumulation,...
