Lack of sufficient vitamin D levels can lead to various health issues. Older individuals, those who are overweight, and residents of nursing homes or hospitals are more prone to low vitamin D levels. Furthermore, individuals with Alzheimer&#8217;s (AD) and Parkinson&#8217;s disease (PD) often exhibit lower vitamin D levels compared to individuals without these conditions. The authors of this informational resource offer science-backed insights into the significance of vitamin D for brain health, particularly for AD and PD. They also provide guides on how to maintain optimal vitamin D levels.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0003999323006664?via%3Dihub\">Click here<\/a> to view the article.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Older adult falls in the community: Does an unsafe home environment have a risk role through the mediating effect of functional limitations?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-28924 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/marymount.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/Screenshot-2023-10-26-160321-300x198.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marymount.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/Screenshot-2023-10-26-160321-300x198.png 300w, https:\/\/marymount.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/Screenshot-2023-10-26-160321.png 523w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Older adults&#8217; falls due to hazardous home environments are a common occurrence. However, the existing literature offers mixed findings on whether it is the mere presence or absence of such conditions, or the interaction between these conditions and an individual&#8217;s physical functioning, that is most relevant. To address this uncertainty, the authors conducted an assessment to determine whether an unsafe home environment is linked to an increased risk of falls among older adults. Additionally, they explored the extent to which limitations in daily and instrumental activities of daily living (ADL\/IADL) mediate this association.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/37870156\/\">Click here<\/a> to view the article.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"entry-title\" style=\"text-align: center;\">THE (IN)VISIBLE BRAZILIANS: A PERSPECTIVE REVIEW ON THE NEED FOR BRAIN HEALTH AND DEMENTIA RESEARCH WITH BRAZILIAN IMMIGRANTS IN THE UNITED STATES<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-28390 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/marymount.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-29-143505.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"428\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marymount.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-29-143505.png 747w, https:\/\/marymount.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-29-143505-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/marymount.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-29-143505-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 428px) 100vw, 428px\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">This article lists recommendations for researchers, health providers, and policymakers to promote greater inclusion of U.S. Brazilian populations in health research and care.
