Article Abstract
Objective: To assess the effectiveness of various art therapies on cognitive functions in elderly adults.
Methods: This study included 38 studies and 2,869 patients, using Review manager 5.4 and Stata 17 for statistical analyses.
Results: In terms of MMSE scores, music therapy, horticultural therapy, drawing therapy, and creative arts therapy showed significant improvements compared to treatment as usual (all P<0.05). For MoCA scores, music therapy, dance movement therapy, creative arts therapy, visual arts therapy, and occupational therapy demonstrated significant enhancements (all P<0.05). Network meta-analysis revealed drawing therapy ranked highest (SUCRA: 79.2%) for MMSE improvement, while music therapy showed superior effectiveness (SUCRA: 92.6%) in enhancing MoCA scores.
Conclusion: Drawing therapy is particularly effective for MMSE scores, while music therapy is particularly effective for MoCA scores. Healthcare providers should consider incorporating structured art therapy protocols into cognitive rehabilitation programs based on patients' specific cognitive impairment patterns.

With the persistence of difficult employment, a large number of college students feel anxious and nervous about job hunting. College students with different family economic status have various feelings and performances when faced with employment, possibly due to subjective social class differences. The present study investigated the employment confidence of 611 undergraduates in Chongqing, aimed to ascertain the overall employment confidence of Chinese college students, and tried to analyze how subjective social class works on the employment confidence of college students and its influencing mechanism.

The ketogenic diet (KD), a high-fat, low-carbohydrate regimen, has been shown to exert neuroprotective effects in various neurological models. This study explored how KD-alone or combined with antibiotic-induced gut microbiota depletion-affects cognition and neuroinflammation in aging. Thirty-two male rats (22 months old) were assigned to four groups (n = 8): control diet (CD), ketogenic diet (KD), antibiotics with control diet (AB), and antibiotics with KD (KDAB).

The global surge in the population of people 60 years and older, including that in China, challenges healthcare systems with rising age-related diseases. To address this demographic change, the Aging Biomarker Consortium (ABC) has launched the X-Age Project to develop a comprehensive aging evaluation system tailored to the Chinese population. Our goal is to identify robust biomarkers and construct composite aging clocks that capture biological age, defined as an individual's physiological and molecular state, across diverse Chinese cohorts.
