Article Abstract
As populations age globally, ensuring equitable access to essential services becomes increasingly crucial. This study examines the revealed accessibility of essential services for ageing populations across the USA. A fairness index is developed to compare revealed service accessibility between high-ageing and low-ageing Census Block Groups. Using datasets that span a range of demographic and geographic contexts, this analysis identifies variations in how ageing communities access health care, housing and food supplies. The results show that while ageing communities generally experience better accessibility, this advantage is unevenly distributed and is projected to decline over time due to shifting demographics and a growing elderly population. In addition, accessibility gaps remain within high-ageing communities, with up to 70% of such areas in some states lacking access to ageing-specific services. These findings contribute to ongoing discussions on how urban environments can respond to demographic ageing with more equitable service provision.

Impact of a Home-Based Remote Patient Monitoring System on Hospitalizations and Emergency Department Visits of Older Adults With Polypathology: Multicenter Retrospective Observational Study.

Centre Hospitalier Rives de Seine, Courbevoie, France.
Background: Every year in France, 40% of people aged ≥80 years are hospitalized, with an average length of hospital stay of 25 days and a readmission rate of 14% to 30% within the month following discharge. This situation is putting pressure on the health care system, encouraging the reinforcement of home care to reduce avoidable hospitalization. The EPOCA remote patient monitoring (RPM) system is a medical and social telehealth solution specialized in RPM, teleconsultation, tele-expertise, and care coordination in emergency medicine and geriatrics.

Background And Objectives: The relationship between insomnia and cognitive decline is poorly understood. We investigated associations between chronic insomnia, longitudinal cognitive outcomes, and brain health in older adults.
Methods: From the population-based Mayo Clinic Study of Aging, we identified cognitively unimpaired older adults with or without a diagnosis of chronic insomnia who underwent annual neuropsychological assessments (z-scored global cognitive scores and cognitive status) and had quantified serial imaging outcomes (amyloid-PET burden [centiloid] and white matter hyperintensities from MRI [WMH, % of intracranial volume]).

The scope of this study was to conduct an analysis on the effect of the Age-Period-Cohort (APC) on ovarian cancer mortality in the South and Northeast regions of Brazil. The APC models were estimated by Poisson regression through estimable functions in women aged 30 and over residing in the states of the South and Northeast regions. Upon estimating the APC models, a positive gradient was found in mortality rates with advancing age in all locations The South region showed a reduction in the risk of death in the last two periods (RR2010-2014 0.

Context: Direct measurement of serum free testosterone (FT) may help evaluate hypogonadism in men. However, up to present, availability of reference ranges for measured FT (mFT) is limited.
Objective: To establish age-stratified reference ranges for mFT in healthy and community-dwelling adult men.
