The standardized death rate was higher among males compared to females; however, the standardized DALY rate remained lower than that observed among females throughout this period. Importantly, China witnessed a greater surge in deaths and DALYs compared with global figures as well as other socio-demographic index regions during this time frame. The APC model demonstrated a global change of 1.06% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.910–1.210) for men and 0.29% (95% CI: 0.147–0.426) for women over time. The death rate increased across all age groups for men, while it specifically increased for women aged 62.5 years and older. The risk of mortality dramatically escalates for individuals over 80 years old.

The demography will shift drastically as the fertility rate falls and people are living longer. In 2021, one in 10 people globally were aged 65 or above. In 2050, this age group is projected to rise to one in six people worldwide [&lt;span&gt;1&lt;/span&gt;].&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This demographic shift increases the demand for hospitalization and emergency department (ED) services [&lt;span&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;]. In the United States, the older population accounts for over 20% of annual ED visits [&lt;span&gt;3&lt;/span&gt;]. This also means an increase in the complexity of acute care cases, with older patients experiencing more geriatric syndromes such as delirium, cognitive impairment, and falls [&lt;span&gt;4&lt;/span&gt;]. Furthermore, older people visiting EDs often present with multiple comorbidities, polypharmacy, complex physiologic changes, and multifaceted social and physical needs [&lt;span&gt;4&lt;/span&gt;]. These demands have put extra stress on the healthcare system.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To address this growing need, acute outreach services to long-term aged care facilities (or nursing homes) have been developed in recent years to help reduce hospitalizations and ED presentations from older people dwelling in these facilities [&lt;span&gt;5, 6&lt;/span&gt;]. In Australia, these services have been found to be safe, accounting for no unexpected deaths and only 5.3% of older patients presenting to hospital for further investigation or treatment [&lt;span&gt;5&lt;/span&gt;]. In one Australian study, ED presentation has been reduced by 10%, and during long-term follow-up, the hospitalization rate is reduced by 36% [&lt;span&gt;5, 7&lt;/span&gt;]. Moreover, the cost-benefit analysis shows that the ratio is 1:5, meaning that one dollar spent on acute outreach service will save five dollars if a patient is to be hospitalized.

In the pairwise comparison, the AIS-APS score (0.752, 95% CI = 0.730–0.773, <i>p</i> &lt; 0.001) showed significantly better discrimination than the other risk models, except the PASS score.

The pool of HDL apolipoproteins—in the brain and in the periphery—has its own distinct origin, composition, and regulatory mechanisms. It remains unclear whether these apolipoproteins in the periphery and CNS play distinct roles in the pathogenesis of AD. Specifically, this review focus on the distinct associations of apolipoprotein AI and apolipoprotein E—the major components of HDL in the blood and CSF—with pathological proteins, brain integrity, cognition, and dementia progression in AD. We summarize and examine the current state of knowledge on the values of these apolipoproteins in AD pathogenesis and clinical potential.</p>","PeriodicalId":32862,"journal":{"name":"Aging Medicine","volume":"8 2","pages":"164-177"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/agm2.70008","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143930403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
