Sex-specific differences in the knee joint should be considered as early as childhood to help prevent higher incidence and severity of knee osteoarthritis (OA) in women later in life, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers propose in a review of clinical data. Their findings, published in Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, investigate knee anatomy and biology, metabolic factors, and youth sports injuries that can contribute to a higher risk of OA.
Cedars-Sinai programs serving older patients and people with dementia have earned esteemed national distinctions reserved for healthcare models that prioritize improved health and wellness among older adults—a rapidly growing segment of the U.S. population expected to nearly double in the coming decades.

In this episode, Dr. Stewart Graham discusses metabolomics in Alzheimer’s disease. He investigates how the disease affects the brain’s metabolism of small molecules such as lipids and amino acids.
A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has discovered a new way that cells regulate senescence, an irreversible end to cell division.
A new study of middle-age and older adults looks at sex differences in frailty levels and their link with heart health. The findings suggest that moving your body more through regular exercise and sitting less can help keep both heart disease and frailty at bay as we age.
Corewell Health is working with Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University to learn more about the multi-level risk and biopsychosocial factors that contribute to Alzheimer’s disease in Black Americans, leading to the development of effective, tailored behavioral and pharmacological interventions aimed at reducing the condition’s disparate attack.
People tend to become less narcissistic as they age from childhood through older adulthood, according to a study published by the American Psychological Association.

A new study found that fewer than 1 in 10 people were able to live free of disease and maintain good physical, cognitive and mental health to age 70 and beyond. The study suggests that sticking to a healthy diet in midlife could increase your chance of achieving healthy aging.
Drugs that selectively kill senescent cells may benefit otherwise healthy older women but are not a "one-size-fits-all" remedy, Mayo Clinic researchers have found.
