- New work from MiCDA @umisr.bsky.social @um-src.bsky.social umichmedicine affiliate Kenneth M. Langa in Lancet Global Health Prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control of diabetes in India: a nationally representative survey of adults aged 45 years and older myumi.ch/mRz5w
- "We aimed to estimate the prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control of diabetes in a nationally representative and state-representative sample of Indians aged 45 years and older."
- New work from MiCDA @umisr.bsky.social @umichsph.bsky.social affiliate Kelly Marie Bakulski in Journal of Proteome Research Serum N-Glycan Profiling Identifies Candidate Glycan Biomarkers for Early Detection and Prediction of Alzheimer's Disease myumi.ch/rANDd
- "Recent studies have highlighted the significant role of glycosylation, specifically N-glycan alterations, in the pathogenesis of AD. This study utilizes advanced LC-MS/MS techniques to profile N-glycan changes between serum samples from participants with normal cognition..."
- New work from MiCDA @umisr.bsky.social @um-src.bsky.social affiliate Kira Birditt in The Journals of Gerontology When helping helps: benefits of daily advice provision on mood among older adults with life problems myumi.ch/g3D5G
- "Regression analyses revealed no significant associations between the number of life problems and the provision of each type of support. Multilevel models showed that providing advice was significantly associated with higher daily positive mood on that day."
- We are excited to announce the 1st annual Schoeni TRENDS Lecture on March 27th, 2026! This event will feature a talk by Mara Getz Sheftel on trends in the U.S. Latino immigrant population and what they mean for older adult health, with discussion by Neil Mehta.

- New work from MiCDA @umisr.bsky.social @um-src.bsky.social umichmedicine affiliates Jessica Faul Kenneth M. Langa David Weir in The Journals of Gerontology Dynamics of multimorbidity, health expectancy, and survival in middle aged and older individuals myumi.ch/g37z3
- "Life expectancy has increased, but such increase has disproportionally expanded the period of life with diseases. Whether expanding health expectancy (HE), defined as years of life free of chronic diseases, could also affect rate of multimorbidity accumulation is uncertain."
- New work from MiCDA @umisr.bsky.social @umichsph.bsky.social affiliate Lindsay Kobayashi in American Journal of Epidemiology Independent and Joint Associations of Key Social Exposome Components with Cognitive Aging: Triangulating Evidence Through Cross-National Data myumi.ch/kP752
- "The associations of key social exposome components with cognitive function were consistent across countries, although the magnitude of the joint association was greater in England."
- New work from MiCDA @umisr.bsky.social @um-src.bsky.social affiliate Kira Birditt in The Journals of Gerontology When helping helps: benefits of daily advice provision on mood among older adults with life problems myumi.ch/kPpjZ
- "Further, older adults with a high number of life problems (≥3 life problems) experienced less negative mood on days when they provided advice compared to days when they did not. However, this effect was not observed among those with fewer problems."
- New work from MiCDA @umisr.bsky.social UMKelloggEye @um-src.bsky.social affiliate Joshua Ehrlich in Epidemiology Midlife cognitive testing in Africa: validity of the Harmonised Cognitive Assessment Protocol in the Kenya Life Panel Survey myumi.ch/VVW4N
- "This study demonstrates that the cognitive functioning of mid-age Kenyans appears to be well captured by the adapted protocol. While there is a moderate decline in cognitive performance among older individuals, this relationship appears to be mediated by education"
- New work from MiCDA @umisr.bsky.social umichmedicine affiliate @emilybriceno.bsky.social in Neuroepidemiology The Pace of Memory Decline in Older Adults without a Neurocognitive Disorder: Results from 22 Years of Follow-Up in a Nationally Representative Sample myumi.ch/15yMn
- "Memory decline, in the absence of a recognized dementia and without a confounding of baseline age differences and longitudinal age changes, would be present but almost imperceptible to an individual in their eighth decade, but noticeable in their ninth and quite impairing in their tenth decade."
