This study aimed to test the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of GPCOG-Tr on older Turkish adults. The study included two hundred thirty (n = 230) community-dwelling individuals aged at least 55. The GPCOG was translated, back-translated, and revised to determine the final GPCOG-Tr. The sample was divided into the patient group (with memory complaints) and the control group (without memory complaints). The GPCOG-Tr was compared against standard criteria for diagnosis of dementia (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders - 5th edition), the Clinical Dementia Rating scale, the Mini-mental State Examination, The Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive (ADAS-Cog) subscale, and the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS). The reliability test was done on 30 participants after two weeks. The two-stage method of administering the GPCOG-Tr had a sensitivity of 85%, a specificity of 92%, a misclassification rate of 11.3%, and a positive predictive value of 92%. The test-retest correlation coefficients ranged from 0.86 to 0.98. The GPCOG-Tr total was at least equivalent to the MMSE and ADAS-Cog in detecting dementia. The GPCOG-Tr displayed solid psychometric properties, offering the general practitioners an efficient cognitive instrument for older Turkish people.","PeriodicalId":12240,"journal":{"name":"Experimental Aging Research","volume":" ","pages":"444-457"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142754922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We assessed depressive symptoms using the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale. We assessed self-reported health status using one item.

The practice and retention phases were spaced 12 hours. We analyzed motor learning through persistence, adaptability and relearning rate.Results: Sleep did not enhance motor learning for any group. While young adults exhibited retention, older adults did not, especially after nocturnal sleep. There was no difference between sub-groups in adaptability. Older adults demonstrated inferior relearning compared to young adults, independently of sleep.Conclusion: Nocturnal sleep did not influence memory consolidation in any group.

BDNF is present in cardiovascular tissue, and some evidence suggests it may benefit cardiovascular function.

We used path analysis and linear regression to estimate the mediating and moderating roles of two measures of cardiovascular health, the Framingham Risk Score (FRS) and pulse pressure, in the relationships between BDNF and longitudinal changes in brain structure (white matter hyperintensity volume, hippocampal volume, and primary visual cortex volume) and cognitive function (executive function, episodic memory, and language).Results: There was no significant association of plasma BDNF with FRS or pulse pressure (ps > 0.31), precluding mediation. There were no robust associations between BDNF and longitudinal change in any brain structural or cognitive measures (ps > .12). Higher FRS was significantly associated with greater increases in WMH volume (ps < .01). FRS and pulse pressure were not associated with any other brain structural or cognitive outcomes (ps > .07).Conclusion: These results suggest that cardiovascular health may not play an important role in the influence of BDNF on neurocognitive health in older adults.","PeriodicalId":12240,"journal":{"name":"Experimental Aging Research","volume":" ","pages":"505-525"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142603483","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study included 30 older adults with chronic pain, 31 older adults without pain, 26 young adults with chronic pain, and 31 young adults without pain. Cognitive functions were assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination, Stroop Test, and Clock Drawing Test. Pressure pain thresholds (PPT) were measured in the trapezius, deltoid, and tibialis anterior regions using an algometer. Significant differences were observed in most cognitive functions and PPTs between the groups, particularly between older adults with and without chronic pain, and young adults with and without chronic pain. Generally, moderate to strong negative correlations were found between pain sensitivity and cognitive performance in older adults with chronic pain. In contrast, young adults with chronic pain showed weaker and fewer correlations between pain sensitivity and cognitive function. Chronic pain has a more significant negative impact on cognitive function in older adults, who also exhibit stronger associations between pain sensitivity and cognitive decline. In contrast, younger adults with chronic pain demonstrate weaker correlations, potentially due to adaptive coping mechanisms. These findings highlight the need for age-specific interventions targeting both pain and cognitive decline in older populations.","PeriodicalId":12240,"journal":{"name":"Experimental Aging Research","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144257626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Subsequently, all participants completed the Rubber Hand Illusion task to measure their sense of body ownership. In Experiment 2, following the same experimental manipulations as in Experiment 1, older participants in the stereotype activation group (n = 36) and the control group (n = 36) completed assessments of state self-objectification and sense of body ownership.Results: Older adults in the stereotype activation group exhibited a lower level of sense of body ownership compared to those in the control group (Experiments 1 and 2).

These geriatric syndromes are the best predictors of ADL disability in all models (p < .05).Conclusion: This study found that malnutrition, immobility, and urinary incontinence considerably contributed to the disability profile of nursing home residents.
