Ran Z, Wei J, Yang G, Yang C. Prevalence of social isolation in the elderly: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Geriatr Nurs 2024; 58:87-97.

Abstract
Social isolation has become a global issue among the elderly, posing serious challenges to both social and public health. We assessed the prevalence of elderly social isolation and its related factors. Eight electronic databases were searched up to June 28th, 2023. A meta-analysis of the included literature was performed using Stata 16.0. The results showed that the incidence of social isolation in the elderly was 33 % [95 % CI (0.28, 0.38)]. The subgroup analysis revealed that people over 80, with a sample size under 500, assessed using the Lubben Social Network scale and Social Network Index scale, experienced higher social isolation, especially if they were living alone and lacked higher education. It is suggested to pay attention to the psychological well-being of elderly individuals living alone and lacking a high level of education. Early screening could help reduce the incidence of social isolation, and hence its implications, among the elderly.

Lysyl oxidase family gene polymorphisms and risk of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage: a case-control study. ANNALS OF TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE 2022; 10:925. [PMID: 36172092 PMCID: PMC9511205 DOI: 10.21037/atm-22-3484] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2022] [Accepted: 08/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/15/2022]
Abstract
Background Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a devastating disease caused by intracranial aneurysm (IA) rupture. Lysyl oxidase (LOX) family genes (LOX-like [LOXL] 1-4) have roles in collagen cross-linking in the extracellular matrix (ECM) and may be associated with IA rupture. We aimed to explore the association between LOX polymorphisms and the risk of aSAH. Methods This case-control study included 2 cohorts: 133 single ruptured and 115 unruptured IA patients, and 65 multiple ruptured and 71 unruptured IA patients. Genotyping of 27 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in LOX was performed. Logistic regression analysis was performed to calculate the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of the SNPs of LOX and the risk of aSAH. Results LOX rs1800449 and LOXL4 rs3793692 were positively associated with the risk of single IA rupture in the recessive model (OR =5.66, 2.06; 95% CI =1.22–26.24, 1.11–3.82, respectively) and LOX rs10519694 demonstrated a protective effect on single IA rupture (dominant model: OR =0.42, 95% CI =0.21–0.83; recessive model: OR =0.16, 95% CI =0.04–0.65; additive model: OR =0.46, 95% CI =0.28–0.78). LOXL1 rs2165241, LOXL2 rs1063582, and LOXL3 rs17010021 showed risk effects on multiple IAs rupture. LOXL3 rs17010022 showed a protective effect on multiple IAs ruptures (dominant model: OR =0.41, 95% CI =0.21–0.82; additive model: OR =0.51, 95% CI =0.30–0.85). Conclusions LOX and LOXL4 may be susceptibility genes for single IA rupture, whereas LOXL1-3 may have a role in susceptibility to multiple IAs ruptures in the Chinese population, suggesting that LOX family genes may be associated with aSAH.
