Abstract Gray matter (GM) alterations play a role in aging‐related disorders like Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, yet MRI studies mainly focus on macroscopic changes. Although reliable indicators of atrophy, morphological metrics cortical thickness lack the sensitivity to detect early changes preceding visible atrophy. Our study aimed at exploring potential diffusion unveiling sensitive markers subcortical age‐related microstructural assessing their associations with cognitive behavioral deficits. We leveraged Human Connectome Project‐Aging cohort that included 707 participants (394 female; median age = 58, range 36–90 years) applied powerful mean apparent propagator model measure parameters, along comprehensive test scores. Both macro‐ GM characteristics were strongly associated age, widespread significant correlations reflective cellular changes, reduced density, increased extracellular volume, membrane permeability. Importantly, when correlating scores, our findings revealed no link between macrostructural volumetric neurobehavioral performance. However, we found regions Based these findings, it is hypothesized heterogeneity decreased neurite orientation dispersion precede they an important subsequent decline. These are suggested be neurocognitive performance may distinctly aid identifying mechanisms underlying phenotypic aging functional

The increasing prevalence of depression among older adults is a growing concern. Chronic health conditions, cognitive impairments, and hospitalizations amplify emotional distress levels in this population. Assessing the quality life crucial for well-being adults. Our study aimed to examine how comorbidities affect geriatric patients both outpatient hospital settings. 100 (50 from internal medicine clinic 50 ward) were included according inclusion exclusion criteria. Patients classified into different age groups (65–74 years, 75–84 years ≥ 85 years). Data on patients' location application, age, sex, living alone or with family status, number comorbid diseases, types accompanying diseases recorded WHOQOL-OLD Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) questionnaires administered. Results evaluated using SPSS. questionnaire score was higher 65–74 group compared other groups, but there no significant difference between hospitalized group. had lower scores those without diseases. In GDS group, than ones findings indicate that aged 65–74, incidence groups. Hospitalization correlates rates not life. As increases adults, frequency rises declines. Early detection intervention are enhancing adults' well-being.

Progress made by the medical community in increasing lifespans comes with costs of incidence and prevalence age-related diseases, neurodegenerative ones included. Aging is associated a series morphological changes at tissue cellular levels brain, as well impairments signaling pathways gene transcription, which lead to synaptic dysfunction cognitive decline. Although we are not able pinpoint exact differences between healthy aging neurodegeneration, research increasingly highlights involvement neuroinflammation chronic systemic inflammation (inflammaging) development age-associated via pathogenic cascades, triggered dysfunctions circadian clock, gut dysbiosis, immunosenescence, or impaired cholinergic signaling. In addition, gender susceptibility course neurodegeneration that appear be mediated glial cells emphasize need for future this area an individualized therapeutic approach. rejuvenation still its very early infancy, accumulated knowledge on various involved promoting senescence opens perspective interfering these preventing delaying senescence.

The brain has a high metabolism rate that may generate reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. Consequently, nerve cells require highly efficient antioxidant defenses in order to prevent condition of deleterious oxidative stress. This is particularly relevant the hippocampus, complex cerebral area involved processing superior cognitive functions. Most current evidence points hippocampal damage as causal effect for neurodegenerative disorders, especially Alzheimer's disease. Nuclear factor erythroid-2-related 2/Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Nrf2/Keap1) master key transcriptional regulation detoxifying systems. It ubiquitously expressed areas, mainly supporting glial cells. In present study, we have analyzed relationships between Nrf2 Keap1 isoforms tissue response aging dietary long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) supplementation. possible involvement lipoxidative nitrosative by-products dynamics Nrf2/Keap1 was examined though determination adducts, namely malondialdehyde (MDA), 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE), 3-nitro-tyrosine (NTyr) under basal conditions. results were correlated expression target proteins heme-oxygenase-1 (HO-1) glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4), whose expressions are known be regulated by signaling activation. All variables this study obtained simultaneously from same preparations, allowing multivariate approaches. demonstrate modification patterns together with formation adducts diet Both parameters exhibited strong interaction. Noticeably, LCPUFA supplementation aged animals restored Nrf2/Keap1/target status observed young animals, therefore driving "rejuvenation" defense.

The study of the effects aging on neural activity in human brain has attracted considerable attention neurophysiological, neuropsychiatric, and neurocognitive research, as it is directly linked to an understanding mechanisms underlying disruption structures functions that lead age-related pathological disorders. Electroencephalographic (EEG) signals recorded during resting-state conditions have been widely used because significant advantage non-invasive signal acquisition with higher temporal resolution. These advantages include capability a variety linear nonlinear analyses state-of-the-art machine-learning deep-learning techniques. Advances artificial intelligence (AI) can not only reveal but also enable assessment age reliably by means characteristics EEG signals. This paper reviews literature features, available analytic methods, large-scale databases, interpretations resulting findings, recent advances AI models.
