Mechanism for meeting the care of older adults in rural China-relying on spouse, offspring or community?
CONCLUSION: Our results indicate the meeting of the care needs among rural older adults is influenced by the quality of their spouse, offspring, and community, with these effects diminishing later in the life cycle.

CONCLUSION: These results highlight sleep's importance for cognitive health and suggest interventions focusing on sleep and weight management to mitigate age-related cognitive decline.
Association of Longitudinal Trajectories of Physical Frailty With Dementia Status in Older Adults: A National Cohort Study
CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS: This study highlighted the importance of regular frailty monitoring for early detection and informed future interventions that could delay frailty progression and potentially reduce dementia risk.
Application of the Uniform Data Set version 3 tele-adapted test battery (T-cog) for remote cognitive assessment preoperatively in older adults
INTRODUCTION: Older adults undergoing surgery are at risk of postoperative neurocognitive disorders, prompting the need for preoperative cognitive screening in this population. Traditionally, cognitive screening has been conducted in-person using brief assessment tools such as the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) or the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). More comprehensive test batteries, such as the Uniform Data Set (UDS) Neuropsychological Battery, and its remote testing version, the...
Intrinsic brain functional connectivity mediates the relationship between psychological resilience and cognitive decline in ageing
Ageing individuals often experience cognitive decline and intrinsic functional connectivity (FC) changes. Psychological resilience, a personality trait that reflects the capacity to adapt and cope with age-related challenges, plays a key role in mitigating cognitive decline. In this study involving 101 older adults, we investigated how psychological resilience influences cognitive decline measured by processing speed. Particularly, we obtained resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging...
