An NIMH Workshop on Non- Affective Psychosis in Midlife and Beyond: Research Agenda on Phenomenology, Clinical Trajectories, Underlying Mechanisms, and Intervention Targets

Ellen E. Lee, David H. Adamowicz, Sophia Frangou

Summary: This paper provides an overview of the current state of research on phenomenology, clinical trajectories, biological mechanisms, aging biomarkers, and treatments for middle-aged and older people with schizophrenia (PwS) discussed at a workshop sponsored by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). The growing population of PwS has specific clinical needs that require customized and mechanically derived interventions. Differentiating between the effects of aging and disease progression is a key challenge in studying older PwS. This review highlights recent findings in this understudied clinical population and identifies critical gaps in knowledge and research priorities.

Age-varying association between depression symptoms and executive function among older adults: Moderation by physical activity

Myungjin Jung, Seomgyun Lee, Minsoo Kang, Hannah K. Allen

Summary: This study assessed the trends in depression symptoms and executive function among older adults, and examined their association across age. It also compared older adults who met physical activity guidelines with those who did not. The results showed that depression symptoms were most severe at age 62, while executive function was highest at age 60 and declined steadily. Older adults who met physical activity guidelines had better executive function and less severe depression symptoms. The study concluded that age differences should be considered in health programs and treatments for mental health and cognition in older adulthood, and encouraging physical activity may help protect older adults from depression-related cognitive decline.

Cognition and Political Ideology in Aging

Mark Fisher, Davin Phoenix, Sierra Powell, Myrna Mousa, Shawn Rosenberg, Dana Greenia, Maria M. Corrada, Claudia Kawas, Annlia Paganini-Hill

Summary: In a population of older persons, political identification on the liberal-conservative spectrum remained stable over time despite cognitive decline. However, for cognitively impaired individuals, there was a significant loss of consistency between political orientation and policy choices. The results suggest that there may be a loss of coherence between political orientation and policy preferences in individuals with cognitive impairment.

Optimal dose and type of exercise to improve cognitive function in older adults: A systematic review and bayesian model-based network meta-analysis of RCTs

Daniel Gallardo-Gomez, Jesus del Pozo-Cruz, Michael Noetel, Francisco Alvarez-Barbosa, Rosa Maria Alfonso-Rosa, Borja del Pozo Cruz

Summary: This study examined the dose-response relationship between exercise and cognitive function in older adults using systematic review and meta-analysis. The results showed a non-linear association between exercise and cognition, with no minimal threshold for the beneficial effect. The effects of exercise on cognition were dependent on exercise type, and clinically important effects could occur at lower doses for many types of exercise. Resistance exercises were found to have superior effects compared to other modalities.

Objective Physical Activity Accumulation and Brain Volume in Older Adults: An MRI and Whole-Brain Volume Study

Lucas Melo Neves, Raphael Ritti-Dias, Valeria Juday, Raquel Marquesini, Aline Mendes Gerage, Gilberto Candido Laurentino, Renato Hoffmann Nunes, Brendon Stubbs, Carlos Ugrinowitsch

Summary: Brain atrophy, a decrease in brain volume, is associated with cognitive health in older adults. Insufficient moderate and vigorous physical activity (MVPA) has been linked to lower brain volume. This study found that meeting weekly MVPA recommendations helps preserve the volume of over 30 brain areas and structures in older adults. Additionally, cardiorespiratory fitness is an important predictor of brain volume preservation.

Does (re-)entering the labour market at advanced ages protect against cognitive decline? A matching difference-in-differences approach

Jung Hyun Kim, Graciela Muniz-Terrera, Anja K. Leist

Summary: This study investigates and compares the effects of late-life labour market participation on cognitive functioning in South Korea and USA. The results show that entering the labour market benefits cognitive functioning in South Korea but not in the USA, while exiting the late-life labour market leads to cognitive decline in both countries. The findings suggest that participant characteristics and reasons for labour market participation may contribute to the differential effects.

Getting a Grip on Secular Changes: Age-Period-Cohort Modeling of Grip Strength in the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing

Patrick O'Keefe, Frank D. Mann, Sean Clouston, Stacey Voll, Graciela Muniz-Terrera, Nathan Lewis, Linda Wanstrom, Scott M. Hofer, Joseph L. Rodgers

Summary: The study found that grip strength is primarily associated with age, with minimal evidence of period and/or cohort effects. Each year's increase in age was linked to a 0.40-kg decrease in grip strength, and this decline varies by gender. Age effects were predominant and most consistent across methodologies, indicating that grip strength is a consistent physiological biomarker of aging.

Summary: Research suggests that personality traits are associated with mild cognitive impairment, dementia, and mortality risk. This study used data from the Rush Memory and Aging Project to investigate the role of personality traits in the transition from no cognitive impairment to mild cognitive impairment. Higher conscientiousness was associated with a decreased risk of transitioning, while higher neuroticism was associated with an increased risk. Personality traits were also associated with cognitive health span, particularly in female participants.

It Runs in the Family: Testing for Longitudinal Family Flynn Effects

Linda Wanstrom, Patrick O'Keefe, Sean A. P. Clouston, Frank D. Mann, Graciela Muniz-Terrera, Stacey Voll, Yun Zhang, Scott M. Hofer, Joseph L. Rodgers

Summary: The Flynn effect refers to a consistent increase of approximately 3 IQ points per decade in measured intelligence, particularly fluid intelligence. This study examines the Flynn effect at the family level using longitudinal data and new family-level cohort definitions. The results show that children in families with later-born mothers have higher math scores but lower reading comprehension scores and growth in their childhood, while children in families with later first-born children have higher math and reading scores as well as larger developmental growth. These family-level Flynn effects are larger than the individual-level Flynn effect found in previous studies, suggesting the need for further research to explain the Flynn effect.
