Longevity of dental restorations in Sjogren’s disease patients using electronic dental and health record data

Abstract Background Decreased salivary secretion is not only a risk factor for carious lesions in Sjögren’s disease (SD) but also an indicator of deterioration of teeth with every restorative replacement. This study determined the longevity...

Changes in daily living dependency and incident depressive symptoms among older individuals: findings from four prospective cohort studies

Background With rapid population ageing, depressive symptoms in older adults have become a pressing public health concern. While functional dependency is a known risk factor, the impact of changes in dependency over time remains unclear.Obj...

Association of triglyceride glucose-body roundness index and body roundness index with incident sarcopenia among Chinese older adults: A nationwide cohort study

Background: The relationship between TyG-BRI, BRI, and the sarcopenia definition proposed by the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) in 2019 remains unclear. This research focused on exploring the relationship between the TyG-BRI inde...
