Assi S, Zhang W, Carey JP, Deal JA, Huang A, Oh ES, Martinez-Amezcua P, Reed NS. The association of hearing loss with frailty among community-dwelling older adults: findings from the National Health and Aging Trends Study. BMC Geriatr 2023; 23:754.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The identification of modifiable risk factors is crucial for the prevention and/or reversal of frailty, which is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Hearing loss affects two-thirds of older adults in the United States (U.S.) and is associated with physical and cognitive decline which may increase frailty risk. We investigated the association of hearing loss and hearing aid use with frailty and pre-frailty in a nationally representative sample of older adults in the U.S. METHODS Cross-sectional analysis of the National Health and Aging Trends Study (2021 round). The better-hearing ear pure-tone average (BPTA) at speech-frequencies (0.5-4 kHz) was modeled continuously (per 10 dB) and categorically (no ≤ 25 dB, mild 26-40 dB, moderate or greater > 40 dB hearing loss). Hearing aid use was self-reported. The physical frailty phenotype (frail, pre-frail, robust) was determined based on Fried criteria: unintentional weight loss, exhaustion, low physical activity, weakness, slow walking speed. We used multinomial multivariable regression adjusted for sociodemographic and health characteristics (odds ratios [95% Confidence Intervals]). RESULTS Among 2,361 participants (mean age = 81 years, 56% female, 19% Black), 860 (36%) had mild and 864 (37%) had moderate or greater hearing loss. Worse hearing was associated with greater odds of being frail versus robust (OR = 1.20 [1.05-1.38] per 10 dB difference). Categorically, moderate or greater hearing loss was associated with greater odds of being frail (OR = 1.84 [1.01-3.08]) and pre-frail (OR = 1.46 [1.01-2.10]) versus robust. Among 1,724 participants with hearing loss, compared to hearing aid users (N = 522), nonusers had greater odds of being frail (OR = 2.54 [1.54-4.18]) and pre-frail (OR = 1.51 [1.05-2.17]) versus robust, and frail versus pre-frail (OR = 1.68 [1.04-2.72]). CONCLUSIONS In a nationally representative sample of older adults in the U.S., using gold-standard hearing measures and a validated frailty phenotype, hearing loss and lack of hearing aid use was cross-sectionally associated with frailty and pre-frailty. Future longitudinal studies are needed to establish if hearing loss is a risk factor for frailty, which may have significant clinical importance.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) The outcomes of upfront or relapse radiation therapy (RT) for the Children's Oncology Group ACNS0334 protocol based on molecular diagnosis were assessed. Therapy included maximal safe surgery, high-dose chemotherapy with stem cell rescue, randomization for inclusion of high dose methotrexate (MTX) and optional RT. MATERIALS/METHODS There were 24 patients that received RT on COG ACNS0334 of 77 evaluable patients with a diagnosis of either high-risk medulloblastoma (MB) or supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumor (SPNET). RT was a recommendation (M0: Focal, M+: CSI 18 Gy) given young patient age <36 months at enrollment. Seven RT patients were excluded for ineligible pathology (1 ATRT, 1 HGG) or insufficient tissue. The aim of this report is to review outcomes of 17 patients on ACNS0334 receiving RT (8 Upfront, 9 at relapse) with a molecular diagnosis that included MB, Pineoblastoma (PB), or Embryonal tumor with multilayered rosettes (ETMR). RESULTS In the MB group, there were 9 patients irradiated with MB (Group 3 = 8, SHH = 1). 5-year OS for MB Group 3 receiving RT (median primary dose 54 Gy) was 62.5% with no difference observed comparing 6 patients treated with upfront RT versus 2 treated at relapse (p = 0.27). All upfront RT for MB Group 3 had initial partial response (PR) to 0334 chemotherapy. RT delivery for upfront RT MB Group 3 included craniospinal radiation (CSI) in 5 patients and 1 patient who received focal RT to the primary (50 Gy) and metastatic site (44 Gy). Eighty percent of CSI for upfront RT in Group 3 was 18 Gy or 23.4 Gy. Relapse RT for MB Group 3 (2 patients) utilized full dose CSI (36 Gy, 39.6 Gy) and both patients are survivors with 5+ years follow-up. CSI dose for Group 3 MB was higher for relapse RT (mean 37.8 Gy) as compared to upfront RT (mean 19.8 Gy, p = 0.013). Use of MTX was 50% in both upfront RT and relapse RT Group 3 MB cohorts. One patient with MB SHH (classic histology) underwent upfront focal RT (54 Gy) after initial PR to systemic therapy (without MTX) and is surviving 5+ years. PB: Of 4 PB patients (median primary dose 48.8 Gy) 1 had RT upfront (CSI 18 Gy) and 3 had RT at relapse (1 patient received CSI, 21 Gy). All patients with PB expired within 2 years. MTX was given in 75% (including 1 upfront RT PB). Two of 3 patients treated at relapse had prior complete response (CR). ETMR: All 4 patients (median primary dose 54 Gy) with ETMR were treated at relapse, with CSI given in 1 patient (23.4 Gy). All patients with ETMR expired within 2 years, and 2 (50%) had received MTX. Two patients (50%) had initial CR. CONCLUSION The RT cohort for Group 3 MB on ACNS0334 exhibited long-term survival both for both upfront and relapse RT, however relapsed Group 3 MB received higher dose CSI. RT upfront for MB, including one surviving MB SHH patient receiving focal RT, was solely given for incomplete initial chemotherapy response. There were no survivors for either PB or ETMR when the majority (88%) were treated at relapse.

Abstract
Objective: To determine the association between baseline cognition and all-cause mortality among Black men and White men. Methods: Data were from 614 Black and White men aged ≥65 years at baseline in the Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and Vital Elderly trial and their linked mortality information. Cox proportional hazards models were used to determine the association between baseline cognition (memory, reasoning, speed of processing, Mini Mental State Exam) and mortality risk over 20 years, adjusting for covariates. Results: Among White men, higher performance on the memory composite measure was associated with a decreased risk of all-cause mortality (HR: 0.93; 95% CI: 0.89-0.98), whereas the other cognitive measures were not associated with all-cause mortality risk. Among Black men, none of the cognitive measures was associated with all-cause mortality risk. Discussion: There is a need for future work to recruit and retain a larger sample of older Black men to better understand the cognition-mortality relationship.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Non-Hispanic Black, compared to non-Hispanic White, older adults are at increased risk for dementia. This may be due partly to greater exposure to psychosocial stressors, such as discrimination; however, few studies have examined this association. METHODS We examined the association of perceived discrimination (e.g., everyday, lifetime, and discrimination burden) with dementia risk in 1583 Black adults co-enrolled in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study and the Jackson Heart Study (JHS). Perceived discrimination (defined continuously and using tertiles) was assessed at JHS Exam 1 (2000-2004; mean age ± SD:66.2 ± 5.5) and related to dementia risk through ARIC visit 6 (2017) using covariate-adjusted Cox proportional hazards models. RESULTS Associations of perceived everyday, lifetime, and burden of discrimination with dementia risk were not supported in age-adjusted models or demographic- and cardiovascular health-adjusted models. Results were similar across sex, income, and education. DISCUSSION In this sample, associations between perceived discrimination and dementia risk were not supported. HIGHLIGHTS In Black older adults perceived discrimination not associated with dementia risk. Younger age and greater education linked to greater perceived discrimination. Older age and less education among factors associated with dementia risk. Factors increasing exposure to discrimination (education) are also neuroprotective.

Abstract
Background Urinary tract infections caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-E. coli) may occur as outbreaks due to common-source exposures. Yet, it is currently unknown if they cluster geographically as would be expected as part of an outbreak. Methods We collected electronic health record data on all patients living in San Francisco with culture-documented community-onset E. coli bacteriuria in a safety-net public healthcare system from January 2014 to March 2020 (diagnosed < 48 hours after hospital admission or in outpatient clinical settings without a hospitalization in the past 90 days). We assessed the presence of spatial clusters of (1) ESBL-E. coli bacteriuria episodes, and (2) individuals with any ESBL-E. coli bacteriuria episode, with Global and Local Moran's I. We evaluated differences in prevalence of bacteriuria recurrence by ESBL-production by Poisson regression. Results Out of 4,304 unique individuals, we identified spatial clusters of ESBL-E. coli bacteriuria episodes (n = 461) compared to non-ESBL-E. coli bacteriuria episodes (n = 5477; Global Moran's p < 0.001). Spatial clusters of individuals with any bacteriuria caused by ESBL-E. coli were not identified (p = 0.43). Bacteriuria recurrence was more likely to occur with ESBL-E. coli (odds ratio [OR] 2.78, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 2.10, 3.66, p < 0.001), particularly after an initial ESBL-E. coli bacteriuria episode (OR 2.27, 95% CI 1.82, 2.83, p < 0.001). Conclusion We found spatial clusters of ESBL-E. coli bacteriuria episodes. However, this was partly explained by clustering within individuals more than between individuals, as having an ESBL-E. coli bacteriuria was associated with recurrence with ESBL-E. coli.

Abstract
Introduction Cognitive training can potentially reduce risk of cognitive decline and dementia in older adults. To support implementation of cognitive training in the broader population of older adults, it is critical to evaluate intervention implementation and efficacy among representative samples, particularly those at highest risk of cognitive decline. Hearing and vision impairments are highly prevalent among older adults and confer increased risk of cognitive decline/dementia. Whether cognitive training interventions enroll and are designed to include this important subgroup is unknown. Methods A scoping review of PubMed and PsycINFO was conducted to examine the inclusion of older adults with hearing and vision impairment in cognitive training interventions. Two independent reviewers completed a full-text review of eligible articles. Eligible articles included cognitive training and multimodal randomized controlled trials and a study population that was cognitively unimpaired, aged ≥55-years, and community dwelling. Articles were primary outcome papers published in English. Results Among the 130 articles included in the review, 103 were cognitive training interventions (79%) and 27 were multimodal interventions (21%). More than half the trials systematically excluded participants with hearing and/or vision impairment (n = 60, 58%). Few studies reported hearing and vision measurement (cognitive: n = 16, 16%; multimodal: n = 3, 11%) or incorporated universal design and accessibility into intervention design (cognitive: n = 7, 7%; multimodal: n = 0, 0%). Discussion Older adults with hearing and vision impairment are underrepresented in cognitive training interventions. Reporting of hearing and vision measurement, proper justification of exclusions, and inclusion of accessibility and universal intervention design are also lacking. These findings raise concerns about whether current trial findings apply to those with hearing and vision impairment and generalize to the broader population of older adults. It is critical to include more diverse study populations and integrate accessibility into intervention design to include and better represent older adults with hearing and vision impairment. Highlights Cognitive training interventions underrepresent hearing and vision impairment.Sensory measurement and proper justification of exclusions are rarely reported.Interventions lack inclusion of accessibility and universal intervention design.More diverse study populations are needed in cognitive training interventions.Integration of accessibility into cognitive training intervention design is needed.

Abstract
One in four older adults experience social isolation. Sensory impairment is a potentially modifiable risk factor for social isolation. Little is known about the long-term impact of sensory impairment on social well-being. This study quantifies the longitudinal associations between hearing, vision, and concurrent hearing and vision impairment (dual sensory impairment) and social isolation over 8 years among older adults. Data were from the National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS), a nationally representative longitudinal study (2011- 2019) of U.S. Medicare beneficiaries. Social isolation was measured by a composite that incorporated four domains: living arrangement, core discussion network size, religious services attendance, and social participation. Baseline hearing and vision were measured by self-report. Associations between sensory impairments and odds of overall social isolation over 8 years were assessed using multivariate generalized logistic mixed models adjusted for demographic and health characteristics. Among 5,552 participants, 18.9% reported hearing impairment, 4.8% reported vision impairment, and 2.3% reported dual sensory impairment. Over 8 years, hearing impairment was associated with 28% greater odds of social isolation. Specifically, participants with hearing impairment were more likely to live alone and limit engagement in social activities. A similar pattern of association was observed for dual sensory impairment; however, estimates did not reach statistical significance. No association was observed between vision impairment and social isolation. Older adults with hearing impairment may be a clinically important subgroup to monitor for social isolation. Interventions for increasing social support and social participation may be especially valuable for older adults with hearing impairment.

Abstract
Objectives: Cognitive abilities have been implicated as predictors of mortality in older adults. This study examines the effects of cognitive training on mortality 20 years post-intervention. Methods: Data come from the Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and Vital Elderly (ACTIVE) randomized control trial (N = 2802). Participants were cognitively and physically healthy, community-dwelling adults aged 65 and older. Cox proportional hazard models were used to investigate (1) the association between baseline cognition and mortality risk and (2) the effect of ACTIVE cognitive training (memory, reasoning, and speed of processing) on mortality risk 20 years post-intervention. Results: Higher baseline cognition predicted lower mortality risk 20 years post-intervention. No significant effects of ACTIVE cognitive training in memory, reasoning, or speed of processing on mortality risk were observed. Discussion: More work is needed to identify cognitive training interventions that may lead to lower mortality risks in later adulthood.
