Description
Xiuhua Ding and four co-authors chart five-year paths of health scores in older men in this 2025 paper. The men took part in a trial testing vitamin E and selenium against Alzheimer's disease. Their yearly surveys yielded mental and physical summary scores, which earlier work tied to later dementia.
Among two thousand seven hundred forty-six men, modeling found four paths for each score. Most men's mental scores stayed stable, though about one in nine declined steadily. Physical scores split between stable and gently declining groups. The two sets of paths overlapped, so mental and physical courses were not independent. The authors say knowing these paths helps read what a score change means. They note the counts in each group can guide future studies.
