TL;DR
While modest, a moderating role of poor OHRQoL on the association between decreasing or low-stable cognitive function trajectories and all-cause mortality was observed, and these findings should be interpreted with caution and require confirmation in future studies.
This longitudinal mediation analysis revealed that individuals experiencing an increasing trajectory of IADL limitations exhibited a higher risk of all-cause mortality, with depressive symptoms partially accounting for this association.
BACKGROUND
Mounting evidence indicates that social frailty leads to adverse health outcomes in older adults. However, longitudinal trajectories of social frailty and their relationship with all-cause mortality have not been fully investigated. We analyzed the association between social frailty trajectories and all-caus...

Social frailty was negatively associated with subsequent OHRQoL among middle-aged and older adults and comprehensive interventions aimed at enhancing social engagement and cognitive function may be essential for the improvement of oral health outcomes.

Background Nutritional risk is linked to poorer cognitive function in stroke patients, but whether this association is mediated by other factors remains unclear. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between nutritional risk and cognitive function, and to evaluate whether activities of daily living (...

Frailty and cognitive decline are major public health concerns that often progress together in older adults. However, previous studies have generally examined these two conditions separately and have tended to overlook the dynamic nature of frailty. This study analyzed how joint trajectories of frailty and cognit...
Abstract Background Metabolic syndrome (MetS) has been associated with cognitive decline, yet the role of socioeconomic status (SES) in modifying this association through inflammatory pathways remains unclear. This study investigated whether SES moderates the mediating effect of C-reactive protein (CRP) in the MetS–cog...
