Ageing

  1. Gompertz parameter changes in C. elegans reflect decrepitude expansion
    Study reinterprets Gompertz mortality parameters, showing lifespan extensions reflect expanded decrepitude rather than slowed biological ageing in C. elegans.
  2. Four-domain model of active ageing fits older adults in Bangkok
    Confirmatory factor analysis validates a four-domain model of active ageing behaviors among older adults in disaster-prone Bangkok, with sex, education, and housing as key sociodemographic predictors.
  3. Gut-brain signaling dysfunction is linked to age-related memory decline
    Age-associated cognitive decline driven by impaired gut-brain interoceptive signalling through microbial metabolite-induced vagal dysfunction and hippocampal neuronal dysfunction.
  4. Regional aging disparities and longer female survival in Nepal
    Analysis of Nepal census data reveals accelerated population aging from 5.0% to 10.2% older adults, with marked provincial and gender disparities requiring differentiated policy approaches.
