    Abstract The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has launched an organization-wide transformation to a Whole Health System of Care that will ideally begin at the time of transition from active duty through the end of a Veteran's life. A brief history and overview of the Whole Health approach are provided along with selected evaluation results and planned initial actions as a result of the Total Force Fitness-Whole Health Summit held in March 2022. More work is required to strengthen the natural linkages between the Department of Defense's Total Force Fitness and Veterans Affairs' Whole Health approach to care. The Total Force Fitness-Whole Health collaboration is a model of whole-person care for the nation.

    Abstract The authors of this review both served on the National Academy of Science, Engineering, and Medicine Committee that produced the report, "Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults: Opportunities for the Health Care System." In 2018, the AARP Foundation commissioned the National Academies to establish a committee to research and develop a report on social isolation and loneliness in persons 50 years of age and older. Emphasis was placed upon the role of the healthcare system in addressing this fundamental public health problem. The committee released the report in February 2020 as the Corona Virus Disease 2019 pandemic was beginning to spread to North America. In this review, the authors share central findings and conclusions from the report as well as how these findings may be relevant to the care and well-being of older adults during this historic pandemic. The health protective benefits of social distancing must be balanced by the essential need for sustaining social relationships.

    Abstract The locus coeruleus-noradrenaline system regulates brain-wide neural activity involved in cognition and behavior. Integrity of this subcortical neuromodulatory system is proposed to be a substrate of cognitive reserve that may be strengthened by lifetime cognitive and social activity. Conversely, accumulation of tau tangles in the brainstem locus coeruleus nuclei is recently studied as a very early marker of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis and cognitive vulnerability, even among older adults without cognitive impairment or significant cerebral AD pathologies. This clinical-pathologic study examined whether locus coeruleus tangle density was cross-sectionally associated with lower antemortem cognitive performance and social activity among 142 cognitively unimpaired and impaired older adults and whether social activity, a putative reserve factor, mediated the association of tangle density and cognition. We found that greater locus coeruleus tangle density was associated with lower social activity for the whole sample and in the cognitively unimpaired group alone and these associations were independent of age, sex, education, depressive symptoms, and burden of cerebral amyloid and tau. The association of locus coeruleus tangle density with lower cognitive performance was partially mediated by level of social activity. These findings implicate the locus coeruleus-noradrenaline system in late-life social function and support that locus coeruleus tangle pathology is associated with lower levels of social activity, independent of cerebral AD pathologies, and specifically among older adults who are cognitively unimpaired. Early brainstem pathology may impact social function, and level of social function, in turn, influences cognition, prior to canonical stages of AD.

    Abstract The intrinsic organization of functional brain networks is known to change with age, and is affected by perceptual input and task conditions. Here, we compare functional activity and connectivity during music listening and rest between younger (N=24) and older (N=24) adults, using whole brain regression, seed-based connectivity, and ROI-ROI connectivity analyses. As expected, activity and connectivity of auditory and reward networks scaled with liking during music listening in both groups. Younger adults show higher within-network connectivity of auditory and reward regions as compared to older adults, both at rest and during music listening, but this age-related difference at rest was reduced during music listening, especially in individuals who self-report high musical reward. Furthermore, younger adults showed higher functional connectivity between auditory network and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) that was specific to music listening, whereas older adults showed a more globally diffuse pattern of connectivity, including higher connectivity between auditory regions and bilateral lingual and inferior frontal gyri. Finally, connectivity between auditory and reward regions was higher when listening to music selected by the participant. These results highlight the roles of aging and reward sensitivity on auditory and reward networks. Results may inform the design of music- based interventions for older adults, and improve our understanding of functional network dynamics of the brain at rest and during a cognitively engaging task.

    Abstract Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a syndrome defined by objective cognitive deficits that do not impact functional independence. Individuals with MCI develop dementia at an annual rate of 10 to 15%. Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) are common non-cognitive features of neurocognitive disorders and have a major impact on the wellbeing and quality of life of affected individuals and their families. Non-pharmacological interventions for NPS are considered the first-line treatment because of the limited efficacy and side-effect potential of current pharmacological agents. This article summarizes the literature on non-pharmacological treatments for NPS in MCI. The limited number of studies specific to individuals with MCI and its various etiologies, as well as the overall heterogeneity of research design and methodologies, make the evidence base inconclusive. Nevertheless, some studies support psychosocial interventions aimed at individuals with MCI and their caregivers.
