Healthy Aging Project-Brain (HAP-B) is a novel clinical psychoeducation offering developed to encourage engagement in activities associated with successful aging. HAP-B targets sleep, socialization, physical, and cognitive activity through myth-busting, developing SMART goals, tracking behavioral change. Study aims: (1) assess feasibility/acceptability Veteran population; (2) analyze pre- post-intervention ratings examine health well-being; (3) explore associations between factors life satisfaction. The 50 participants (mean age = 70.6 years) were predominantly male-identity (88%) White (76%). Findings, based on independent t tests, revealed improvements satisfaction, emotional well-being, energy levels post-intervention. Linear regression results found higher satisfaction was lower depressive symptoms, self-efficacy.

A three-wave design with Spanish workers who were transition retirement (N = 286) was used the aim investigating correlations between pre-retirement variables post-retirement well-being. Participants working at Time 1 2 but 3, they had retired past year. Individual attributes (age), access resources (life satisfaction depression), situational characteristics (job stress, job tenure, quality), psychological disposition (general self-efficacy positive expectations) first wave, correlated threat second wave. Moreover, these predictors explained how people adjust third assessed both directly (actual resources) indirectly (satisfaction via their effects on variables. results revealed that a relationship after retirement, also depression retirement. Hence, suggested several avenues for intervention targeting expectations and, turn, increasing well-being, which are discussed.

With the aging of global population, neurodegenerative diseases are emerging as a major public health issue. The adoption less sedentary lifestyle has been shown to have beneficial effect on cognitive decline, but molecular mechanisms responsible clear. Here we provide detailed analysis complex molecular, cellular, and systemic underlying age-related decline how choices influence these processes. A review evidence from animal models, human studies, postmortem analyses emphasizes importance integrating physical exercise with cognitive, multisensory, motor stimulation part multifaceted approach mitigating decline. We highlight potential non-pharmacological interventions address key hallmarks, such genomic instability, telomere attrition, neuroinflammation, underscore need for comprehensive personalized strategies promote resilience healthy aging.
