a. a surveying instrument consisting of a spirit level mounted on a frame with a telescopic sight, used for establishing a horizontal. b. an observation made with this instrument. 17. an imaginary line or surface everywhere at right angles to the plumb line. 18. a horizontal position or...
However, multiple psychological and neurocognitive processes might be simultaneously activated during real-time social interactions: traditional observation-based tasks and self-report measures alone are not sufficient to capture and dissociate these processes. In this Perspective, we draw on Marr’s levels...
This observation highlights the need for tailored nutritional strategies for this active aging group to support optimal liver function and exercise performance. Striking a balance between meeting the increased energy demands of physical activity and maintaining a diet that supports liver health is crucial...
Changes in the levels of circulating proteins are associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), whereas their pathogenic roles in AD are unclear. Here, we identified soluble ST2 (sST2), a decoy receptor of interleukin-33–ST2 signaling, as a new disease-causing factor in AD. Increased circulating...
Using a threshold of at least 85% of observation days as a diet consistency indicator, only 2.5%, 1.8% and 0.0% of the respondents followed the anti-inflammatory, vegetarian and Swank’s diet, respectively. Hence, to identify dietary patterns among the participants, we performed hierarchical ...
Studies evaluating the connection between loneliness and unemployment are consistent in their observation that being unemployed is associated with increased loneliness, particularly with more severe experience of loneliness. Logistic regression, while not determining causality, provided statistically significant fin...
This observation is in line with the fact that adiponectin plays a considerable role in HDL metabolism [45], and a robust correlation exists between circulating levels of plasma adiponectin and HDL-C [48, 49]. Although the physiological role of ADIPOQ has been intensively investigated, the ...
Physical activity (PA) has beneficial effects on physical and mental health outcomes in older adults. However, a consistent decline in PA participation has been noted with increasing age, with older adults consistently being reported as the least physica
Circulating cell-free mitochondrial DNA (ccf-mtDNA) is a biomarker of cellular injury or cellular stress and is a potential novel biomarker of psychological stress and of various brain, somatic, and psychiatric disorders. No studies have yet analyzed ccf
Therefore, the main emphasis should be on the age-specific results, where only one observation from each individual is used. In conclusion, there is no solid evidence that lower parental education is related to greater environmental variation in offspring height from infancy through adulthood. Thus,...
