... Correlation and path analyses consistently revealed that IHMT was associated with lower levels of loneliness among older adults with disabilities. IHMT may be associated with enhanced functional and intrinsic capacities among older adults with disabilities, which, in turn is associated with lower levels of loneliness (Stara et al., 2023;Yu et al., 2024). This study builds on earlier work by examining how improvements in functional ability may be linked to loneliness among older adults with disabilities in the digital age. ...

... US and European HIV care guidelines suggest assessment for frailty using a validated metric among PWH starting at age 50 years, although differing assessments are often used. 52 Despite increased characterization of frailty in PWH, knowledge gaps persist. While geriatric-HIV programs have begun to emerge to meet the unique clinical needs of older PWH, including frailty assessments, such clinics are limited, and many HIV clinicians do not assess frailty in routine care. ...

... Five machine learning methods, namely Logistic Regression, ExtraTrees classifier, Bagging classifier, XGBoost, and RF, were applied to develop the risk models based on the training set. Further, a Grid Search with 5-fold cross validation was employed to find all possible combinations of hyperparameters for each ML model [24]. Then, each model's performance was conducted by confusion matrix, AUC, accuracy, precision, specificity, Recall and F1 scores. ...

... environmental factors influencing IC of reasonably robust individuals prior to significant losses may facilitate the identification of interventions early in the life course. Instead of exploring a comparatively single source of socioenvironmental support like earlier research (most support was from family and friends, or society) 20,21 , chronic disease resource utilization is based on a social-ecological model of resources, viewing the environment as a multi-level overall structure. This concept seems to fit in better with the way that the environment is interpreted in the WHO's framework for healthy ageing. ...

... Loneliness was evaluated based on individuals' subjective perception of feeling alone in the past 3 months. Depression was assessed using the Geriatric Depression Scales-5, with a score of 2 or less indicating a normal range [31]. Cognitive function was assessed using the Chinese version of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) [32], which provides insights into cognitive abilities and impairments. ...

... However, there's been a lack of attention to intervention effects on senior fitness, sleep quality, and mental health (Yoon et al., 2018;Kwan et al., 2020). Researchers are encouraged to explore the effectiveness of exercise interventions from a broad perspective for comprehensive effectiveness evaluation, considering exercise interventions have been proven to offer a wide range of health benefits (Qiao et al., 2022). ...

... Their results identified four classes sharing similar longitudinal IC trajectories: "high-stable" (20.13%), "normal-stable" (40.58%), "sensory dysfunction" (29.53%), and "all dysfunction" (9.76%). However, three IC patterns ("sharp declines in sensory domain", "sharp declines in locomotion, psychological, cognition, and vitality domains", and "relatively healthy") were identified in Yu et al.'s study [31]. Regarding the size of the trajectory groups in our study, the stable high IC group was the largest (71.8%), which was followed by the mediumlevel increasing IC, medium-level decreasing IC, and low-level IC. ...

... Study populations were drawn from a wide range of clinical environments. Eight studies assessed the prevalence of frailty across all inpatient wards [31,37,38,41,43,45,54,55]. The remaining studies focussed on one or more specific environments, with internal medical wards being the most commonly surveyed (n = 13) [28,30,32,33,36,39,42,44,47,48,50,51,53], followed by geriatrics (n = 8) Systematic review and meta-analysis of the prevalence of frailty and pre-frailty [29,30,34,35,46,49,52,56], cardiology (n = 2) [30,42], general surgery (n = 4) [33,42,44,50] and intensive care (n = 1) [40]. ...

... The psychological burden of frailty, combined with reduced social interactions and support, exacerbates the challenges faced by these patients. Psychological support can alleviate the symptoms of FS and should therefore be strongly recommended in this group of patients [42]. It is worth emphasizing here that good control of blood pressure and lipid profile can reduce the risk of dementia, which can significantly worsen social aspects of QoL [43]. ...

... Our study indicated that self-efficacy can positively affect self-management among elderly stroke survivors. This result is consistent with previous research results [12,38,39]. The reasons for this may be that elderly stroke survivors with higher self-efficacy have intrinsic motivation, thus having more confidence to engage in self-management behaviors [12]. ...
