Normative age-related changes in resting-state EEG alpha power and theta/alpha ratio across eyes-open and eyes-closed conditions
Resting-state electroencephalography (EEG) provides a sensitive measure of large-scale neural dynamics and has been widely used to characterize age-related changes in brain function. However, many prior studies have relied on relatively small samples or single-condition recordings, limiting the generalizability of findings. In this study, we investigated normative age-related trajectories of EEG spectral features across eyes-closed (EC) and eyes-open (EO) conditions in a large cohort of healthy...
Latent profile analysis and analytical model construction based on heterogeneity of intrinsic capacity in Chinese older adults
CONCLUSION: This study delineates two IC profiles among Chinese older adults. The XGBoost-based model was explored for rapid IC profile classification. These findings highlight heterogeneity in IC and support the feasibility of a simplified digital approach, with external validation warranted.
Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease and Risk of Depressive Symptoms in Older Adults
CONCLUSION: This study shows that the presence of MASLD is significantly associated with an increased risk of a worse depression trajectory. In subgroup analysis, this relationship was particularly pronounced amongst females and among individuals with key cardiometabolic morbidities such as dyslipidaemia.

Plasticity of human microglia and brain perivascular macrophages in aging and Alzheimer's disease
Myeloid cells, including microglia and perivascular macrophages, are central to Alzheimer's disease (AD) neurobiology, yet their role remains incompletely understood. We profiled 832,505 human myeloid cells from the prefrontal cortex of 1,607 donors spanning the lifespan and showing varying degrees of AD neuropathology. We delineated six subclasses comprising 13 transcriptionally distinct subtypes and identified adaptive changes associated with aging and AD progression. Here we show that a...
Exploring the link between body physiology and cognition: the role of the brain and aging
Epidemiological links between cognition and body physiology in aging are well established, but their strength and drivers remain unclear. Which physiological systems - from body composition to cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal, hepatic, immune, metabolic, and musculoskeletal - best predict cognition, and to what extent are cognition-body associations linked to brain variation across aging? We examined 19 physiological phenotypes alongside three neuroimaging modalities in over 30,000 UK Biobank...
