The first wave of Swedish punk rock started in 1978. The people who reach retirement age in 2026 turned 19 in 1978. We are in the era of punk retirement.

But Swedish recent retirees have excellent health on average. I hope they form new punk bands now that they have time.

2/
1️⃣ Quality Over Quantity:
Moving within your current physical capacity is your superpower. Ten repetitions performed with intention and good form are more effective than twenty done with strain. Quality movement builds strength safely, reduces injury risk, and makes every rep count.

2️⃣Consistency Over Intensity:
Despite what you may see online from fitness influencers, you don’t need to “crush” a workout to see results. Engaging in physical activity two to three times per week is far more…

effective than doing one intense session occasionally—and this consistency is key to healthy aging.

🎯Let’s stop chasing “perfection” and start building a foundation that feels empowering, sustainable, and fits your lifestyle—so you can keep going.

The latest collection of commentary and Essays in @PLOSBiology is devoted to #immunometabolism.

We highlight how the interplay between systemic metabolism and the immune response impact tissue and organismal functions, as well as the therapeutic potential of manipulating immunometabolism.

⚛️ Nicole Chapman and Hongbo Chi advocate for the use of systems biology approaches as discovery tools for new therapeutic targets

💉 Yun Sok Lee investigates the process of metaflammation, the chronic low-grade inflammatory response that occurs in metabolic diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes, exploring how systemic changes in metabolism can affect tissue-resident immune cells

🦠 Griffin Gowdy and Alice Prince look at the role of immunometabolites in both driving and combating bacterial infections, with a focus on lung pathogens

🥗 On a more holistic level, Guang Sheng Ling and colleagues suggest a two-pronged approach to target immunometabolism through pharmaceutical and lifestyle interventions, with a focus on cancer

The collection was edited by Claudio Mauro, Lucas Smith and Joanna Clarke

🛑 Stop Scrolling! Birthday Surprise 🎉

🎂 We wrapped up today’s SPARTA Strength Class at the Malden Senior Center with ball slams, fast feet drill—and big smiles😅! I let the crew know Josie’s birthday is Friday, and they lit up the room with a spontaneous birthday song.

📣 Drop a comment to wish Josie a happy birthday!

👋 Hello Canadian 🇨🇦 Fediverse
Needing 🦽 Advice Please 👋

I would very much appreciate recommendations for companies/sources for a manual wheelchair for a disabled senior. ♿
The person using it is not capable of maneuvering an electric one and one arm is too weak to push himself using a manual wheelchair, so it's up to me, a senior to assist, therefore, it needs to be lightweight but sturdy enough for going over curbs and sidewalks, along country roads without a sidewalk, and to be safely anchored to a bus floor. (I do not want a 'transport' wheelchair --too flimsy)
Thanks for your guidance.🙂

Boosts welcomed

The role of pharmacists in geriatric #care: current evidence and practice

The role of pharmacists in geriatric care: current evidence and practice - Aging Clinical and Experimental Research

Introduction Pharmacists are among the most available and frequently consulted healthcare providers supporting older adults. They can actively contribute to thorough geriatric assessments and interventions and are often included in geriatric teams across different care settings. Aim This narrative review aims to compile current knowledge and practical approaches related to pharmacists’ roles in caring for older adults. Methods We searched in three databases and followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. Included studies were randomized clinical trials (RCTs) and systematic reviews, published between the years 2014 and 2024 in any language, reporting on the involvement of pharmacists in geriatric care, their interventions and results. Results From 306 identified different records, 32 studies were included in the final synthesis. The majority (22; 68.8%) were systematic reviews, ten were RCTs. The studies reported on the role of pharmacists in geriatric care in diverse settings including home, community, outpatient clinics, hospital, long-term care and residential facilities. While interventions were often multifaceted and complex, they more commonly comprised medication reviews and medication reconciliation. Positive outcomes resulting from pharmacists´ interventions were reported in 71.9% of the studies, mostly focused on medication appropriateness, deprescribing, medication safety and effectiveness. Conclusion Our narrative review highlights the growing evidence supporting the integration of pharmacists into geriatric care teams across diverse clinical settings. Despite heterogeneity among studies and limited high-certainty evidence, the findings underscore the potential of pharmacists to contribute meaningfully to person-centred, multidisciplinary care in this vulnerable population.

I have a doctor's appointment early tomorrow, but I just don't want to go to bed. More like I don't want to go see the doctor. He's a good doc. Very thorough, and kinda quirky.

I just don't like going to the doctor as I get older. Like, it's "oh look. Now THIS is falling apart."
