Article Abstract
Cognitive reserve reflects the brain's intrinsic adaptive capacity against the neurodegenerative effects of aging. The maintenance or enhancement of the brain's cognitive reserve plays a crucial role in mitigating the severity of pathologies associated with aging. A new movement, social prescribing, which focuses on prescribing lifestyle activities as a treatment for patients, is growing in popularity as a solution against aging pathologies. However, few studies have demonstrated a clear impact of lifestyle activities on individual cognitive health, outside of floor and ceiling effects. Understanding benefits from lifestyle factors remains unclear. Here, we investigated the potential effects of lifestyle activities on individuals' cognitive health from more than 3,530 older adults using a stratification method and advanced analysis technique. Our stratification methods allowed us to observe a new result: older adults who had relatively average cognitive scores were not impacted by lifestyle factors. By comparison, older adults with very high or very low cognitive scores were highly impacted by lifestyle factors. These findings expand the theory to the aging field, regarding the biological sensitivity of individuals to harmful and protective environmental effects. Our discoveries demonstrate the role of individual differences in the aging process and its importance for social prescribing programs.

Physical activity and mobility disability in older adult cancer survivors.
JNCI Cancer Spectr
September 2025
Pennington Biomedical Research Center, Baton Rouge, LA 70808, United States.
Background: Cancer survivors may be more likely to experience accelerated declines in physical function compared to cancer-free controls, but objective data and knowledge of preventive interventions are limited.
Methods: The Lifestyle Interventions and Independence for Elders (LIFE) study was a multicenter, single-blinded, randomized trial conducted at 8 centers across the United States that enrolled 1635 sedentary adults aged 70-89 years and with physical limitations but who could walk 400 m at baseline, of which 371 (22.7%) reported a history of cancer.
Psychometric Considerations and Age Appropriateness of Outcome Measures Implemented in Exercise Randomized Controlled Trials Within the Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis Cohort: A Systematic Review.
Pediatr Exerc Sci

Division of Movement Science and Exercise Therapy, Department of Exercise, Sport and Lifestyle Medicine, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Stellenbosch University, Stellenbosch,South Africa.
Background: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis is an autoimmune condition of multifactorial etiology resulting in chronic inflammatory joint disease, which may be associated with systemic manifestations. Therapeutic exercise is essential to counteract physical impairments, which requires the implementation of outcome measures (OMs) in research and practice as they provide meaningful results for research efficacy, exercise program evaluation and quality, medication tolerance, and patient improvement.
Purpose: To assess the types of OMs implemented in exercise randomized controlled trials related to the juvenile idiopathic arthritis cohort and the psychometric properties and age appropriateness of the implemented OMs.
Exploring the impact of a single-session health-focused intervention on active-duty military personnel.

Department of Psychology, Florida State University, 1107 W Call St., Tallahassee, FL 32304, USA.
Active-duty military personnel often face significant mental health challenges, including high rates of anxiety, depression, and substance abuse. Despite the clear need for mental health interventions, service members frequently underutilize available services due to time constraints, concerns about career impact, and confidentiality issues. This study evaluates the acceptability and clinical impact of the Health Education Training (HET) program, a 50-min, single-session, computer-based intervention designed to promote healthy lifestyle behaviors among active-duty military personnel.

Robert-Koch Institute, Department of Epidemiology and Health Monitoring, Berlin, Germany.
Background: Depressive symptoms significantly increase physical morbidity, mortality, and healthcare demands, while chronic diseases can exacerbate depressive symptoms. This study aimed to: 1) determine the prevalence of depressive symptoms among individuals with and without chronic diseases; 2) compare the number of chronic diseases across age groups in those with and without depressive symptoms; and 3) analyze associations between depressive symptoms and chronic diseases, adjusting for sociodemographic, socioeconomic, lifestyle, and health-related variables.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, data from 275,009 participants (126,642 men, 148,367 women) in the third wave of the European Health Interview Survey (2018-2020) across 30 European countries were analyzed.
Parallel investigation of oxidative stress and nutritional profile in women with Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
Clin Nutr

Department of Endocrinology, Diabetology and Internal Medicine, Medical University of Bialystok, 15-276 Bialystok, Poland. Electronic address:
Genetic predisposition, inflammation, and oxidative stress are known contributors to the development of Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT). While genetic factors are non-modifiable, lifestyle, nutritional factors and oxidative stress may represent areas for intervention. This study aimed to assess biochemical markers of oxidative stress and evaluate dietary intake in women with newly diagnosed HT, identified through population-based screening.
