Article Abstract

Background: Cardiometabolic disease (CMD) status increases the risk of functional disability; however, the reverse relationship remains unclear. This study aimed to examine the impact of different patterns of functional disability on CMD status among Chinese middle-aged and older adults.

Methods: We used data from two waves of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. Functional disability was assessed based on activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL), while CMD status was evaluated based on the incidence of diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. Generalized ordinal logistic regression analysis was employed to investigate the impact of functional disability on CMD status.

Results: In the longitudinal study, 509 individuals (20.0 %) developed CMD, and 102 individuals (4.0 %) developed cardiometabolic multimorbidity. After adjusting for confounders, Model 1 showed an odds ratio of 1.64 (95 % CI: 1.17, 2.29) for increased CMD status in individuals with ADL and IADL disability compared to those without functional disability. Model 2 and Model 3 produced similar results.

Conclusions: Functional disability, particularly ADL and IADL disability, increases the risk of CMD status in Chinese middle-aged and older adults. Measures should be implemented to maintain functional status in middle-aged and older adults.

Objective: To describe the self-report instruments used to measure well-being in children with disabilities, investigate their psychometric quality, cognitive accessibility and alignment with Keyes's operationalization of well-being, including emotional, psychological and social aspects.

Methods: MEDLINE, ProQuest, PubMed and CINAHL were searched for articles published from 2011 to March 2023, identifying 724 studies. Synonyms provided by thesaurus on the main constructs: 'children', 'measure', 'disability' and 'mental health' were employed in the search strategy.

Major depressive disorder is a prevalent and debilitating psychiatric illness that produces significant disability. Clinical data suggest that the pathophysiology of depression is due, in part, to a dysregulation of inflammation and glutamate levels in the brain. The systemic administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) has been shown to induce depressive-like behaviors in mice.

Nε-lysine acetylation in the lumen of the ER requires two acetyltransferases, ATase1/NAT8B and ATase2/NAT8. They are type II membrane proteins and belong to the larger GNAT superfamily of acetyltransferases. Their enzymatic activity is tightly coupled to the import of acetyl-CoA in the lumen of the ER by AT-1/SLC33A1.

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.

Mutation of ube3a causes developmental abnormalities and autism-like molecular and behavioral alterations in zebrafish.

Mutations in the UBE3A gene are responsible for neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), including Angelman syndrome (AS), which is characterized by developmental delays, impaired motor coordination, and cognitive disabilities. In recent years, UBE3A mutations have also been linked to autism spectrum disorders (ASD), due to their significant role in synaptic plasticity and cognitive function. Although substantial research has utilized mammalian models, the zebrafish (Danio rerio) provides unique opportunities to investigate gene functions owing to their transparent embryos, rapid development, and suitability for large-scale genetic and behavioral studies.
