Optimising function and well-being in older adults: Protocol for an integrated research programme in Aotearoa/New Zealand
Maintaining independence is of key importance to older people. Ways to enable health strategies, strengthen and support whanāu (family) at the community level are needed. The Ageing Well through Eating, Sleeping, Socialising and Mobility (AWESSOM) programme in Aotearoa/New Zealand (NZ) delivers five integrated studies across different ethnicities and ages to optimise well-being and to reverse the trajectory of functional decline and dependence associated with ageing.

Infuence of oral health on frailty in patients with type 2 diabetes aged 75years or older
Poor oral health conditions are known to affect frailty in the older adults. Diabetes is a risk factor for both poor oral health and frailty, therefore, oral health status may affect frailty in diabetic patients more than in the general population. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of oral health and other factors on frailty and the relationship among oral health, diabetes and frailty in older adult patients with type 2 diabetes.

Is Frailty Index a better predictor than pre‑stroke modifed Rankin Scale for neurocognitive outcomes 3‑months post‑stroke?
The prognostic value of frailty measures for post-stroke neurocognitive disorder (NCD) remains to be evaluated. Aims: The aim of this study was to compare the predictive value of pre-stroke FI with pre-stroke modified Rankin Scale (mRS) for post-stroke cognitive impairment. Further, we explored the added value of including FI in prediction models for cognitive prognosis post-stroke.

The long-term prognostic value of serum 25(OH)D, albumin, and LL-37 levels in acute respiratory diseases among older adults
Older adults are more susceptible to respiratory tract infection than healthy working age adults. The increased susceptibility of older adults is thought to be interlinked with vitamin D status, nourishment, and immuno‑ logical state in general. Data are scarce whether these parameters could serve as prognostic markers.

Self-reported health and the well-being paradox among community-dwelling older adults: A cross-sectional study using baseline data from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA)
Self-reported health is a widely used epidemiologic measure, however, the factors that predict self-reported health among community-dwelling older adults (≥65 years), especially those with multimorbidity (≥2 chronic conditions), are poorly understood. Further, it is not known why some older adults self-report their health positively despite the presence of high levels of multimorbidity, a phenomenon known as the well-being paradox.

Association between indoor ventilation frequency and cognitive function among community-dwelling older adults in China: Results from the Chinese longitudinal healthy longevity survey
Emerging evidence suggested that indoor air pollution caused long-term adverse efects on cognitive function among older adults who spend more than 85% of their time indoors. Although high indoor ventilation can mitigate the efect of indoor air pollution on cognition among the younger population, limited evidence revealed the association between indoor ventilation and cognition among older adults.

Daily associations between afect and cognitive performance in older adults with depression and cognitive impairment: A series of seven single-subject studies in the Netherlands
Comorbidity between depression and cognitive impairment is common in older adults, increases the disease burden disproportionally, and leads to diagnostic uncertainty. Insight into individual daily associations between affect and cognitive performance may help in personalizing diagnosis and treatment decisions. Our objective was to get insight into the daily associations between affect and cognitive performance within individual older adults.
