The aging process is characterized by various facets, being both subjective and natural, it progresses without alteration. During this process, elderly individuals may experience social isolation or loneliness, which has been associated with significant impacts on their physical, psychological, health.

ABSTRACTLoneliness is linked to declining physical health across cardiovascular, inflammatory, metabolic, and cognitive domains. As a result, loneliness increasingly being recognized as public threat, though the mechanisms that have been studied do not yet explain all loneliness-related risk. Potential include having 1.) direct, causal impacts on health, possibly maintained by epigenetic modification, 2.) indirect effects mediated through health-limiting behaviors, 3.) artifactual associations perhaps related genetic overlap reverse causation. In this scoping review, we examine evidence surrounding each of these pathways, with particular emphasis emerging research effects, in order evaluate how becomes biologically embedded. We conclude there are significant gaps our knowledge psychosocial stress may lead physiological changes, so more work needed understand if, how, when has direct influence health.

Methods: In this prospective cohort study, 70 pregnant women with were enrolled. Subclinical during first trimester was characterized by elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels ranging from 2.5 to 5.0mIU/L alongside normal free thyroxine (FT4) concentrations. Participants stratified into two groups based TSH levels: a maternal hypothyroid group (SHG, n=35) euthyroid (ETG, n=35). Leukocyte (LTL) measurements conducted using whole blood samples umbilical veins. Results: The LTL mean 1.7 (SD=1.1), which significantly shorter than neonatal telomeres, 2.3 SD (1.2). A significant correlation observed between (r=0.750, p<0.001). positive association found circulation [β=0.421 (95% CI 0.536; 1.873; p=0.001)].

To investigate whether depression, loss functionality for activities daily living, lower social support are all-cause mortality in the Italian descent. This population-based cohort study was conducted Veranópolis, a country city from southern Brazil, among individuals aged 60 years or older.

In follow-up, participants reinterviewed or, case death, next kin, hospital records revised.

Dementia is one of the pathologies that has increased most among older population (mainly Alzheimer's disease), and it a direct impact on quality life (QoL), cognitive performance, health these patients. Family functionality can play role in this QoL if patients are not institutionalized.To analyze family function perception non-institutionalized dementia patients, as well related variables such anxiety, depression, optimism, or pessimism.Cross-sectional study with sample 54 diagnosed some type dementia, non-institutionalized, outpatient care, from different centers province Valencia (Spain). The EQ-5D, MMSE, Apgar general health, Goldberg anxiety depression questionnaires were utilized.The correlation General Health Questionnaire-new onset problems variable (GHQ) Chronicity Questionnaire-chronic (CGHQ) Quality Life questionnaire was statistically significant negative (GHQ r = -0.310; p 0.034.
