Walking is essential for maintaining independence and quality of life, yet aging may impair the neuromuscular function required for stable gait over time. This study sought to quantify age-related differences in step-to-step control during prolonged walking using detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA). We hypothesized that step-to-step changes in step length and step width would exhibit reduced temporal persistence over time, with more pronounced effects in older than in younger adults.

The fragmented ecological environment in the mining ecosystem has a significant impact on the microbial community and affects ecosystem stability. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) facilitate nutrient exchange and element cycling between soil and plants, which play a crucial role in the functionality and stability of soil ecosystems. However, the mechanism of ecological environment factors influencing AMF community assembly in mining areas is still unclear.

People with dementia are living longer in the community and reliance on informal caregivers is increasing. Few studies have focused on the experiences of adult-daughter caregivers (daughter caregivers), who may have increased risk of depression and lack of support compared with spousal caregivers. We aimed to explore the experiences of accessing and receiving formal and informal support among daughter caregivers of people living with dementia in Sweden.

Background: Neighborhoods resulting from rapid urbanization processes are often saturated with eateries for local communities, potentially increasing exposure to unhealthy foods and creating diabetogenic residential habitats.
Objective: We examined the association between proximity of commercial food outlets to local neighborhood residences and type 2 diabetes (T2D) cases to explore how local T2D rates vary by location and provide policy-driven metrics to monitor food outlet density as a potential control for high local T2D rates.
Methods: This cross-sectional ecological study included 11,354 patients with active T2D aged ≥20 years geocoded using approximate neighborhood residence aggregated to area-level rates and counts by subdistricts (mukims) in Penang, northern Malaysia.

Background: Sarcopenia is associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). However, whether changes in sarcopenia status affect CVD risk remains unclear. In addition, how indoor fuel use impacts the sarcopenia transition process is less well studied.
