    Confirmatory factor analysis validates a four-domain model of active ageing behaviors among older adults in disaster-prone Bangkok, with sex, education, and housing as key sociodemographic predictors.
  3. Gut-brain signaling dysfunction is linked to age-related memory decline
    Age-associated cognitive decline driven by impaired gut-brain interoceptive signalling through microbial metabolite-induced vagal dysfunction and hippocampal neuronal dysfunction.
  4. Regional ageing disparities in Nepal differ by province and gender
    Analysis of Nepal census data reveals accelerated population aging from 5.0% to 10.2% older adults, with marked provincial and gender disparities requiring differentiated policy approaches.
