Reasons Behind Continuity of In-Hospital #Deprescribing Post Discharge

1. Acceptance of deprescribing by patients and usual #care providers
2. Comprehension of the deprescribing plan
3. Supportive post-discharge environment

Aging-associated alterations in the gut microbiome, notably the proliferation of the bacteria Parabacteroides goldsteinii, incite an inflammatory response that disrupts vagus nerve signaling to the hippocampus and directly drives cognitive decline.

Enhancing gut-brain communication reversed cognitive decline, improved memory formation in aging mice

Aging causes changes in gut bacteria in mice, which hampers communication between the intestines and the brain.

Behavioral changes, encompassing #neuropsychiatric symptoms such as anxiety, apathy, and depression, form recognizable patterns in older adults and emerge significantly prior to a clinical #dementia diagnosis.

Behavioural changes may be linked to early dementia‑related processes

Using machine learning, the researchers identified four distinct neuropsychiatric symptoms profiles

Associations and Interaction Effects of Socioeconomic, #Lifestyle, and Genetic Factors on Intrinsic Capacity

- Preliminary evidence indicating interactions between #genes and #environment in the definition of IC
- Implications for future #research on how genetic and modifiable factors can inform strategies to promote healthy #aging
