Summary: The study highlights the association between hearing loss and physical activity in older adults, indicating a need to promote physical activity among individuals with hearing loss. Further research is necessary to explore whether interventions targeting hearing loss could lead to improvements in physical activity levels.

Summary: The study found that circulating GDF-15 is associated with the development of anemia in older adults, and higher levels of GDF-15 are linked to an increased risk of anemia.

Summary: There is an association between a higher dietary inflammatory index (DII) and lower cognitive performance in older adults, especially in the Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST) and Animal Fluency (AF) tests.

Summary: Epidemiological evidence regarding the relationship between serum zinc and copper levels and cognitive impairment in older adults is inconclusive. A study using NHANES data from 2011-2014 found associations between serum zinc and copper levels and performance on specific cognitive tests in older adults, suggesting a need for further investigation into causality.

Summary: Recent study using NHANES data found a positive correlation between dietary creatine intake and cognitive function in older adults. Adjusting for sociodemographic and nutritional variables, the association between creatine consumption and cognitive function remained significant. Participants consuming more than 0.95g of creatine per day showed higher cognitive functioning scores compared to those with lower intake.

Summary: The present study aimed to explore the relationship between objective physical activity and sedentary behaviour with seasonality among older adults in four European countries. The results showed no significant variations across seasons for sedentary behaviour and physical activity, regardless of sex, country, education, and BMI. However, a decline in moderate physical activity intensity was found from spring to autumn/winter for those with lower education and higher BMI. Therefore, promoting physical activity throughout the year, particularly for those with moderate intensity and higher BMI and lower educational levels, is essential for healthy aging.

Summary: This study evaluated the cost-effectiveness of different influenza vaccines under the Korean National Immunization Program for different age groups. The results showed that the high-dose quadrivalent vaccine (HD-QIV) was the most cost-effective choice for adults aged 65 years or older. For other high-risk age groups, the introduction of influenza vaccine programs, whether using the traditional trivalent vaccine (TIV) or quadrivalent vaccine (QIV), was cost-effective.

Summary: The FDA has approved two vaccines for preventing respiratory syncytial virus-related lower respiratory tract disease in adults aged 60 and older. This commentary discusses the evidence behind the approval and the subsequent recommendations from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.

Summary: This study investigated the separate and joint associations of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) with metabolic syndrome (MetS) among elderly urban men in China. The findings suggest that PA is negatively associated with MetS, while SB is positively linked to MetS. Furthermore, sufficient PA and shortened SB may have an additive joint influence on reducing the risk of MetS.

Summary: The study investigated activity profiles regarding physical activity and sedentary behavior among generally healthy European older adults. It found that some older adults did not meet physical activity recommendations and spent a long time in sedentary behavior. Male, younger age, and lower BMI individuals were more likely to meet the physical activity recommendations, while higher BMI and higher cognitive function scores were associated with more sedentary behavior.

Summary: Lack of exercise contributes to chronic disease and systemic inflammation. Initiating routine, sustained exercise in late life protects against age-related declines in physical performance, while a sedentary lifestyle leads to cumulative deficits in strength, aerobic endurance, and mobility. Reducing sedentary behavior and increasing physical activity are both important for promoting overall body health.

Summary: Sedentary behavior may increase the risk of dementia. While some studies found no clear association between sedentary behavior and brain health factors, there appears to be a tentative association between habitual sedentary behavior and structural white matter health.

Summary: Engaging in sufficient levels of physical activity is crucial for maintaining health and quality of life across all ages. Recent research has shifted focus from intense structured exercise to the negative impacts of prolonged sitting, and more recently on interventions targeting individual activity profiles.

Summary: The study revealed an inverse linear relationship between sleep duration and physical activity, and found that variability in sleep midpoint was associated with physical activity. However, sleep midpoint and duration variability were not linked to physical activity.

Summary: This prospective study among older women found that higher levels of accelerometer-measured standing were associated with lower risks of all-cause mortality. Standing is a feasible approach to interrupting prolonged sedentary time and appears to benefit health in older ages.
