Objective To investigate the relationship between biological aging and the rate of cognitive decline in middle-aged and elderly populations.Methods Longitudinal tracking data of cognitive function were obtained from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study(CHARLS).We employed the Klemera and Doubal method(KDM)to estimate biological age(BA),and calculate the biological aging index(BAI)and biological aging type(BAT).A multivariate linear regression model was employed to analyze the relationships between baseline BAI,BAT,and cognitive function scores.Based on the baseline analysis,a mixed-effects model was used to examine the longitudinal associations between baseline BAI,BAT,and cognitive function during follow-up.Results A total of 5 897 participants were included in the study.BAI was found to be negatively associated with baseline cognitive function scores,with the partial regression coefficient(β)(95%CI)being-0.185(—0.231,—0.139)(P<0.001).Compared with the lagged aging group,the premature aging group had lower cognitive function scores(β[95%CI]:—0.741[—0.966,—0.516]).For age and sex,for each additional year of baseline BAI,cognitive function scores declined by an average of 0.012(95%CI:—0.019,—0.005)points per year after adjusting for age and sex,and declined by 0.011(95%CI:—0.018,—0.004)points per year after adjusting for other covariates.Compared with participants with lagged aging,those with premature aging experienced,on average,an additional decline of 0.042(95%CI:—0.075,0.009)points per year in cognitive function scores after adjusting for age and sex alone,and by 0.039(95%CI:—0.072,—0.007)points per year after adjusting for other covariates.Conclusion Biological aging affects the rate of cognitive decline in middle-aged and elderly populations.A higher BAI is associated with a faster decline in cognitive function.Compared with those with lagged aging,individuals with premature aging exhibit a more rapid rate of cognitive decline.

Objective:To summarize the best evidence related to intermittent catheterization in adult patients with neurogenic bladder, and provide reference for clinical practice and patient self-management.Methods:According to the "6S" pyramid model, the system searched UpToDate, Guidelines International Network, European Association of Urology, UK National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, Scottish Interhospital Guidelines Network, Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, EmBase, EBSCO, OVID, Scopus, SinoMed, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, Yimaitong, literature on intermittent catheterization of neurogenic bladder in adults, including clinical decision, best practice, guidelines, expert consensus, etc. The retrieval period was from the database establishment to August 2023. The search time was established until August 2023. The literature was screened by two research members, and four research members evaluated the quality of the literature and extracted the evidence.Results:A total of 14 articles were included, including 1 clinical decision, 1 evidence summary, 4 systematic reviews, 5 guidelines, 2 expert consensus, and 1 best practice. Finally, 31 pieces of best evidence were summarized, involving 5 aspects such as intermittent catheterization (IC) indication, IC timing, IC implementation process, IC health education, extended care.Conclusions:The evidence summary strictly follows the evidence-based process and the content of the evidence is comprehensive. The incidence of neurogenic bladder complications can be reduced by comprehensive management of intermittent catheterization, ultimately improving the quality of care. The localization characteristics should be combined in the application of evidence to improve the quality of life of patients.
