4. 2. The architecture of the aging brain : functional reorganization, structural changes, and the role of dopamine receptors

   Author : Robin Pedersen; Alireza Salami; Anna Rieckmann; Anders Wåhlin; Lars Nyberg; Roser Sala-Llonch; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; brain architecture; functional connectivity; dopamine; aging; cognition; memory; functional magnetic resonance imaging; positron emission tomography; graph theory; Laplacian eigenmapping; gradient;

   Abstract : Aging is associated with reorganization of functional brain architecture, potentially leading tocognitive decline in older age. However, the mechanisms responsible for alterations in functionalbrain architecture remain poorly understood. READ MORE

5. 3. Exploring resident health, wellbeing, and thriving in Swedish sheltered housing

   Author : Laura Corneliusson; David Edvardsson; Anders Sköldunger; Karin Sjögren; Hugo Lövheim; Karin Josefsson; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; sheltered housing; older people; health status; wellbeing; thriving; cross-sectional; longitudinal; nursing; trygghetsboende; äldre; hälsostatus; välbefinnande; trivsel; tvärsnittstudie; longitudinell studie; omvårdnad;

   Abstract : Background: As the population of older people is expected to increase in the coming decades, an increase in service demand will likely follow. Aging in place is common in Sweden, but may be associated with loneliness, anxiety, and other negative health effects. READ MORE

6. 4. Cognitive training in young and old adults : Transfer, long-term effects, and predictors of gain

   Author : Petra Sandberg; Anna Stigsdotter Neeyl; Michael Rönnlund; Boo Johansson; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Cognitive training; aging; old adults; executive function; life-span; individual differences; episodic memory; inhibition; shifting; updating; cognitive control; strategy training; mnemonics; predictors; Psychology; psykologi;

   Abstract : Aging, also in the absence of pathological conditions, is associated with cognitivedecline, especially in so called fluid abilities, such as episodic memory andexecutive functions. Due to an ongoing demographic shift, a larger part of thepopulation will reach higher ages, and more people will be affected by age-relatedcognitive decline. READ MORE

7. 5. Diet and physical activity behaviors for healthy aging

   Author : Konstantinos-Georgios Papaioannou; Fawzi Kadi; Andreas Nilsson; Adrian David Meehan; Antoneta Granic; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : The process of aging is characterized by physiological changes in various body systems and biological functions, that affect health and functional capacity. Adopting healthy lifestyle behaviors could be an effective, accessible, and lowcost strategy to delay age-related functional changes.
