New article! Habitual fasting duration and accelerated multimorbidity in older adults. ➡️ Older adults who habitually fasted 14–24 hours had faster accumulation of chronic diseases over 15 years, especially after age 78. 🔗 doi.org/10.1111/joim.70150 #Ageing @acarballocasla.bsky.social

1/6 New paper out in JAMA Network Open 🧠🥗 I’m very happy to share this study, which I co-led with Anja Mrhar and which was senior-authored by Davide Vetrano. The question: does diet quality still matter for dementia risk once biological signs of risk are already present? doi.org/10.1001/jama...

See our latest work published in EHJ. We show that increased troponin levels (a protein indicates heart muscle damage) measured at midlife was associated with higher risk of dementia at late life and this elevation started as early as 25 years before dementia diagnosis.

📢 My third PhD paper was just published in The Lancet Regional Health-Europe (authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...), in which we examined cause-specific mortality in individuals with and without mental disorders according to socioeconomic position, using nationwide registers from Denmark.

🧵1/ 🚨 New study alert! In our latest work, just published in Nature Aging, we show that what older adults eat can shape how fast they accumulate chronic diseases over time: Here’s what we found 👇
