"Understanding how sociodemographic characteristics and medical history are associated with progression (or regression) of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias could inform intervention strategies, personalized prognoses, and projections of population-level burden"

"The relationship between PR and fall risk is bi-directional. Falls erode PR and PR is related to reduced fall risk among those at higher risk. Future research is needed to identify potential interventions that promote PR as a pathway to fall reduction in later life."

"Results from this study may give insight into the implications of hearing measurement methods for the observed association of hearing difficulty and cognitive function in later life."

"The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted many aspects of life, including care arrangements of older adults. U.S. adults who reported providing care to a family member or friend age 50 or older either prior to or during the pandemic, we examined factors associated with pandemic-related changes in caregiving"
