Article Abstract
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a severe non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Life expectancy has improved with rituximab, but cause-specific mortality data is lacking. Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database to study 27,449 individuals aged 20-74 years diagnosed with primary DLBCL who received chemotherapy between 2000 and 2019, we calculated standardized mortality rate (SMR) and excess absolute risk (EAR) and examined the connection between age, sex, time after diagnosis, and cause of death. Based on 12,205 deaths, 68.7% were due to lymphoma, 20.1% non-cancer causes, and 11.2% other cancers. Non-cancer mortality rates (SMR 1.2; EAR, 21.5) increased with DLBCL compared to the general population. The leading non-cancer death causes were cardiovascular (EAR, 22.6; SMR, 1.6) and infectious (EAR, 9.0; SMR, 2.9) diseases with DLBCL. Risks for non-cancer death and solid neoplasms are highest within the first diagnosis year, then decrease. Among socioeconomic factors, being white, being married, and having a higher income were favorable factors for reducing non-cancer mortality. To improve survival, close surveillance, assessment of risk factors, and early intervention are needed.

Physical Resilience After Hip Fracture: Unpacking the Roles of Resistance and Recovery.
J Am Geriatr Soc

Background: Physical resilience-the ability to withstand, recover, or adapt after a stressor-is critical in older adults facing acute insults. We conceptualize physical resilience to comprise two distinct but related components: resistance (immediate physiological response to the stressor) and recovery (subsequent health changes). These two components were used to evaluate how individuals respond to hip fracture-a common and severe geriatric stressor.

Military service presents a paradoxical health impact, simultaneously enhancing physical fitness while increasing risks of injuries, mental health disorders, and war-related illnesses. The long-term mortality consequences for aging veterans remain insufficiently characterized. This study examines the association between military service and mortality outcomes among US adults aged 50 years and older, including all-cause mortality, premature death, and cause-specific mortality.

Background/aims: While the clinical effectiveness of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) is well established in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), its specific impact on cause-specific mortality remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the impact of GDMT on both cardiac and non-cardiac mortality in AMI patients.
Methods: Data of the KAMIR-NIH, a multicenter prospective registry of AMI in Korea between 2011 and 2015, were included.

Given the high incidence of cardio and cerebrovascular diseases (CVD), and their association with morbidity and mortality, their prevention is a major public health issue. A high level of blood pressure is a well-known risk factor for these events, and an increasing number of studies suggest that blood pressure variability may also be an independent risk factor. However, these studies suffer from significant methodological weaknesses.

Background: Short-term exposure to ozone has been linked to increased mortality, but its role in temperature-health associations is still not fully understood. Beyond direct effects, ozone may influence mortality as both a factor modified by temperature and a mediator of temperature's impact.
Methods: We conducted a time-series study using quasi-Poisson generalized additive models (GAMs) to examine associations between short-term ozone exposure and cause-specific mortality in Hefei, China (2014-2022).
