Two new papers by an international team of researchers demonstrate that evaluating microRNAs in blood can be used not only to diagnose mild cognitive impairment (MCI) but also to predict the conversion from MCI to dementia due to Alzheimer's disease.
The most common trauma injuries at Cedars-Sinai are the result of age-related falls. That’s why Gregory Jones, RN, injury prevention and outreach coordinator for the hospital’s Trauma Program, is on a mission to help older adults avoid risk factors and prevent falls.
Northwestern University has been awarded $32.4 million over five years from the Hevolution Foundation to study proteostasis — the processes by which cells maintain protein health for good overall health and to prevent diseases of protein misfolding. A key goal is to improve the health people experience as they age, particularly in their final years.
What if a drug could help you live a longer, healthier life? Scientists at the University of Connecticut are working on it. In a new study in Cell Metabolism, researchers described how to target specific cells to extend the lifespan and improve the health of mice late in life.
ACA and chiropractors nationwide will celebrate National Chiropractic Health Month this October with the theme “Plan for a Strong Healthspan,” raising awareness of the importance of a strong musculoskeletal (MSK) system for healthy aging.
Mount Sinai Health System today announced that they will be among the first in the world to deploy blood-based biomarkers (blood tests) and confirmatory tests for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias to patients across primary and specialty care settings—early detection tools that have never before been offered to patients in the clinical setting—as part of the Davos Alzheimer’s Collaborative (DAC) Healthcare System Preparedness Accurate Diagnosis project.
Participating in a series of cognitive training sessions has helped Quebec seniors cope with memory loss - even five years later, an UdeM study finds.
One in 5 older adults used cannabis products that include THC in the last year. Among them, 20% said they drove within 2 hours of using cannabis, and a similar percentage said they experience at least one potential signs of addiction.
Outdoor light at night could be a significant risk factor in Alzheimer’s disease, according to new research from Rush.
Researchers have for the first time identified degeneration-associated “molecular markers” – observable changes in cells and their gene-regulating networks – that are shared by several forms of dementia that affect different regions of the brain.
UNC School of Medicine researchers are the first to show that an microRNA molecule called miR-29 is instrumental in driving the natural aging process.
Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign's Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology found that older adults learned a memory task best after practicing multiple related tasks, suggesting that diverse cognitive training supports mental sharpness as we age.
This $11 million IHS contract will create training for healthcare providers and support patients’ families in communities that have little access to such specialized care.
A medical device company utilizing a novel approach to treat ocular disease, announced today the successful completion of a pilot study using its proprietary OPTiC System for treating Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD).
A novel study by researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai addresses a critical yet under-explored question in cancer research: Why is aging the biggest risk factor for cancer? The study reveals how an aging immune system spurs tumor growth, offering new insights into cancer prevention and treatment, especially for older adults.
