Association between longitudinal trajectories of cognitive functioning and all-cause mortality among middle-aged and older adults in South Korea: Exploring the mediating role of oral health-related quality of life

While modest, a moderating role of poor OHRQoL on the association between decreasing or low-stable cognitive function trajectories and all-cause mortality was observed, and these findings should be interpreted with caution and require confirmation in future studies.

Longitudinal associations between impairment in Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and depressive symptoms in older adults: the mediating role of internet use based on longitudinal lagged mediation analysis in a decade-long five-wave prospective cohort study

The mental health of older adults has emerged as a critical public health concern. Older adults who experience limitations in activities of daily living (ADLs) are at an increased risk of developing depression. Internet use may offer a promising strategy for reducing mental health risks among older adults....

Association between intrinsic capacity and trajectories of physical function among older adults: findings from a 10-year longitudinal cohort study

The IC × time association for IADL was not statistically significant in the primary complete-case analysis and was sensitive to missing-data assumptions, but may indicate early functional vulnerability.

Longitudinal trajectories of depressive symptoms and respiratory health risk in middle-aged and older Chinese adults: A nationally representative prospective landmark cohort study.

Depressive symptom trajectories were associated with CRD and captured heterogeneity not fully reflected by single-time assessments, and Repeated assessment may help identify middle-aged and older adults at elevated respiratory risk.
