Agricultural intensification through multiple-season farming: Effects on resiliency, food security and nutrition

Elsevier,

Food Policy, Volume 134, July 2025

Multiple-season farming is linked to greater crop diversity, higher food consumption, and improved food security—especially for better-off and male-headed households—though it shows no significant effect on child nutrition. This approach also suggests potential benefits for household resilience, highlighting the need to support poorer and female-headed households in accessing resources for multiple-season cultivation.

Elsevier,

Revista Colombiana de Reumatología, Volume 32, Issue 3, July–September 2025, Pages 198-208

The high prevalence of musculoskeletal diseases, particularly rheumatoid arthritis, in the Misak indigenous community—originally from Colombia— is likely influenced by cultural, socioeconomic, genetic, and environmental factors, leading to significant disability. This study highlights the importance of implementing culturally sensitive, interdisciplinary interventions for early diagnosis, better treatment adherence, and improved health outcomes tailored to the community's specific sociocultural context.

Does change in area-level deprivation, change health outcomes? A latent class growth analysis of population data

Elsevier,

SSM Population Health, 2025, 101826

This study identified seven distinct area-level deprivation trajectories in Northern Ireland from 2010 to 2016 and found that upward social mobility was generally linked to reduced risk of poor health outcomes, while downward mobility increased such risks compared to stable deprivation groups. Notably, a dose-response relationship emerged between lower deprivation at the endpoint and better health outcomes, though one upwardly mobile group exhibited unexpectedly high health risks, underscoring the complexity of social mobility's impact on health.

Auditory agnosia for environmental sounds in Alzheimer's disease: Effects on daily life

Elsevier,

IBRO Neuroscience Reports, Volume 18, June 2025

This study investigated the prevalence and impact of auditory agnosia for environmental sounds in individuals with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), finding that over half exhibited signs of this central auditory dysfunction along with a high rate of unrecognized peripheral hearing loss. Although these factors appeared independent and showed limited direct effect on measured quality of life, possibly due to sheltered living environments and lack of patient awareness, they jointly contribute to daily functional decline, highlighting the importance of early hearing assessment and intervention in AD management.
