Improving cognitively healthy survival is important for achieving healthy aging. Therefore, it would be valuable to estimate the future risk of either incident dementia or death in community-dwelling older adults. This study aimed to develop a set of risk prediction models for either incident dementia or death that can be applied according to data availability across diverse clinical settings, using longitudinal data from comm...

Diet is widely considered essential in dementia, but its association with white matter lesions (WMLs) remains unclear. This cross-sectional study investigated the associations between dietary patterns, dementia, and WMLs in a large, nationwide, multicenter population of older Japanese adults. A total of 8,938 adults (aged ≥ 65; 73 ± 6.3 years old) from the Japan Prospective Studies Collaboration for Aging and Dementia (JPSC-AD...

Summary Metagenomics has dramatically expanded the known virosphere, but freshwater viral diversity and their ecological interaction with hosts remain poorly understood. Here, we conducted a metagenomic exploration of planktonic dsDNA prokaryotic viruses by sequencing both virion ( Ca . Fonsibacter and Ca . Nitrosoarchaeum). Comparison with viral genomes derived from published metagenomes revealed viral phylogeographic connect...
