Accumulating evidence suggests that aging and senescence play crucial roles in tumorigenesis, cancer progression, and treatment. However, the influence of aging and senescence-related genes (ASRGs) on clinical outcomes and treatment options in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients remains unknown. Here, we developed an aging and senescence-related scoring system, ASRS, by integrating bulk transcriptome data from 22 LUAD datasets. In 3,243 LUAD samples, higher ASRS scores were associated with poor tumor stage and pathological grade, as well as shorter overall survival, disease-free survival, and recurrence-free survival. Additionally, ASRS was associated with different immune patterns in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Importantly, ASRS was found to predict therapeutic efficacy, with patients having a low ASRS benefiting from immunotherapy and those with a high ASRS responding better to chemotherapy. Therefore, ASRS represents a previously overlooked characteristic of LUAD that can influence patient outcomes and treatment success.

Background: Work-related stress is a well-established contributor to mental health decline, particularly in the context of burnout, a state of prolonged exhaustion. Epigenetic clocks, which estimate biological age based on DNA methylation (DNAm) patterns, have been proposed as potential biomarkers of chronic stress and its impact on biological aging and health. However, their role in mediating the relationship between work-related stress, physiological stress markers, and burnout remains unclear.

Background: The benefits of physical activity for frail older acutely hospitalized adults are becoming increasingly clear. To enhance opportunities for physical activity on geriatric wards, it is essential to understand the older adult's perspective.
Aim: The aim of the study was to explore the experiences and perceptions of physical activity among older adults during hospital stays on a geriatric ward.

Background: Physical inactivity, impaired physical mobility and poor mental health are common in the older population and increasing as the population ages. We examined the relationships between physical activity, physical mobility, and mental health in the general population of older adults.
Methods: The study is based on 12 959 men and women aged 70 years or older answering a survey questionnaire sent to a random population sample in Mid-Sweden in 2022 (response rate 66%).

Background: The CRP-albumin-lymphocyte (CALLY) index has potential clinical value as a novel marker integrating inflammatory, nutritional and immune status in the development of colorectal polyps. This study examined whether gender factors influence the association between CALLY and colorectal polyps; in addition to elucidating whether metabolic pathways mediate this relationship.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study including 5409 adult health screening participants who completed colonoscopy.
