The Lancet Healthy Longevity, Volume 5, October 2024
This Article supports SDG 3 by evaluating the association between air pollutants and physical disability in older adults.
The Great Salt Lake is drying up, and the dried lake edges emit significantly more greenhouse gases. This One Earth Research Article measures the GHG emissions and estimates how much of those emissions are 'anthropogenic', i.e., caused by excessive water withdrawals. The results show that unmitigated lake drying contributes significantly to the state's anthropogenic GHG emissions (SDG 13).
The present mini-commentary on Alzheimer's disease describes recently revealed pathogenic elements, evolving capabilities for identifying unusually high individual susceptibility and developing tests that predict onset preclinically to allow preventative approaches. Several potential therapies that target cellular signaling and other pathways that are abnormal in Alzheimer's disease are in early clinical trials and will be reviewed briefly.
This paper supports SDG 3 and 8 by examining firearm and non-firearm related suicide in current and former US service members.
To optimize the delivery of culturally safe care, health systems need to rebuild their relationship with Indigenous peoples.
This Article supports SDG 3 by evaluating a hepatitis B screening programme in which members of the West African community in the Bronx were offered hepatitis B testing when they attended a blood pressure clinic visit following an educational intervention about hypertension. Almost all participants accepted to have hepatitis B screening, showing the effectiveness of its being linked to blood pressure testing.
This investigation aimed to understand preclinical biomarker and genetic Alzheimer’s disease research participation in underrepresented groups to facilitate greater diversity in future biomarker research and clinical trials.
In this study, the authors analyse alternative pembrolizumab administration strategies that might have environmental advantages over the current dosing and compounding paradigms (improved environmental sustainability without sacrificing clinical outcomes)
This review article summarizes the current evidence for culturally adapted cardiac rehabilitation programming for Indigenous patients, including community engagement. strategies to improve education on cardiovascular risk-factor optimization and to promote guideline-based exercise and diet programs through an Indigenous perspective.
This research provides archaeological evidence for free or enslaved Indigenous and African individuals during colonial times in Quebec, where written accounts of African people are few and limited.
