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

Longitudinal trajectories of social frailty and the risk of all-cause mortality among older adults in South Korea: Exploration of the mediating role of cognitive functioning.

BACKGROUND Mounting evidence indicates that social frailty leads to adverse health outcomes in older adults.

We analyzed the association between social frailty trajectories and all-caus...

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

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

To identify trajectories of basic activities of daily living (BADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) and determine whether the baseline intrinsic capacity (IC) deficit score predicts 10-year functional decline in older adults. Data were from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Surv...

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

BACKGROUND Depressive symptoms are dynamic, but their longitudinal patterns in relation to chronic respiratory disease (CRD) remain unclear. We examined whether depressive symptom trajectories were associated with incident CRD in middle-aged and older Chinese adults. METHODS Data from the China Health and Retirement...
