Model invariance testing suggests a partial invariance model with differences in life space, depression, and anxiety across racial/ethnic groups. As a mediator, social engagement significantly diminished the effects of emotional well-being (i.e., anxiety and depression) and increased the effects of physical well-being (Life Space Assessment and SF-36 Physical Component Summary: β = -0.07, standard error [SE] = 0.14, p = 0.045, and β = -0.15, SE = 0.14, p = 0.040, respectively) on cognition.Conclusion: Results suggest good model fit and a critical role for social engagement in its impact on cognition.

Data from 361 participants who answered all items were analyzed. Group-based multivariate trajectory modeling (GBTM) was used to classify frailty transitions over the three time points.Results: GBTM revealed the best fit when participants were divided into four trajectory groups (G1: \"worsened frailty after 1 year\" [n = 94, 26%]; G2: \"maintained frailty status\" [n = 149, 41.3%]; G3: \"improved frailty status\" [n = 49, 13.6%]; and G4: \"worsened frailty after 6 months\" [n = 69, 19.1%]). Swallowing function was a significant association in participants in G1 and G3. Walking speed and exercise habits worsened between baseline and second surveys in G4.Conclusion: Four frailty transition types were identified in the three-wave survey conducted over 1 year. Swallowing function was associated with the progression or improvement of frailty.

The current study aimed to compare geriatric syndrome prevalence in older adults with and without diabetes.Method: Primary research (2011 to 2024) in English, French, or Spanish was included. We used multiple databases following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Pooled log odds ratios (ORs) and prevalence rates were calculated using random-effects models. Sensitivity analysis explored heterogeneity, and publication bias was assessed.Results: Older adults with diabetes exhibited higher prevalence rates of cognitive impairment (9.13% vs. 4.22%, log OR: 0.1884), depression (8.96% vs. 5.44%, log OR: 0.3543), falls (11.5% vs. 4.47%, log OR: 0.4237), functional impairment (14.2% vs. 10.6%, log OR: 1.02), urinary incontinence (9.72% vs. 4.35%, log OR: 1.3668), frailty (22.8% vs. 12.1%, log OR: 1.3443), and polypharmacy (22.9% vs. 5.78%, log OR: 2.5420). Diabetes was also associated with a higher comorbidity burden.Conclusion: Multidisciplinary strategies addressing diabetes and associated conditions are crucial for older adults with diabetes. Future research should delve into underlying mechanisms and optimize care strategies.

Low physical activity was the predominant symptom experienced by middle-aged adults with pre-frailty. Moreover, males, those with low educational levels, and those with poor mood status had a higher risk of frailty (p < 0.05). In addition, those who consumed milk more than three times per week had a lower risk of frailty compared to their counterparts (p < 0.05).Conclusion: Health care programs that focus on increasing physical activity, milk consumption, and psychological support could be suitable strategies for preventing and managing pre-frailty in this population.

This study analyzed key variables influencing depressive symptoms using random forest modeling and logistic regression.Results: The prevalence of depressive symptoms in older adults is 33.2%, with the highest prevalence of depression in older adults living alone (41.2%). Cognitive functioning and life satisfaction are psychological factors that affect older adults' mental health, whereas self-rated health and child relationship satisfaction are biological and social factors affecting their mental health, respectively. Furthermore, self-rated pain and limitations in activities of daily living were identified as risk factors for their mental health. Key factors affecting older adults' mental health differ between living situations.Conclusion: Key factors of depressive symptoms in older adults differ across living situations, providing a priority and reference for differential prevention and precise intervention of depressive symptoms to promote a healthy aging process.
