Influenza vaccine reduced MACEs, all cause mortality, CV mortality & MI and thus highlighted the importance of influenza vaccination in the high cardiovascular risk group.

@aaraam_pasand I watched many other shows as well, I don’t rewatch every other show. It’s ok if u don’t like the show don’t project it on everyone.

[Dr. Akash Jaiswal @Akash__jaiswal]

@aaraam_pasand Strongly disagree, it all depends on what phase of life u have watched it. I watched it in my ug days with friends around and to this day i feel nostalgic and happy watching it.

[Dr. Akash Jaiswal @Akash__jaiswal]

@NetflixIndia Still the same feelings after watching it for so many times. 👏

Early diagnosis is key to better management of Alzheimer’s Dementia. Let’s strive to create awareness for the same.

What can GLP-1 drugs teach us about aging?

In this video, I share new NIH-funded research showing that semaglutide, a GLP-1 medication, extended lifespan and improved several measures of health in older mice. While more research is needed to understand what these findings could mean for people, the study offers intriguing insights into the biology of aging.

💊 Polypharmacy is common in older adults but more medicines don’t always mean better care.

With ageing, changes in kidney & liver function can increase the risk of side effects and drug interactions.

⚠️ Potentially Inappropriate Medications (PIMs) may cause falls, confusion, bleeding, low BP & hospitalisation.

On #WorldPatientSafetyDay, remember:

✅ Review every medication regularly
✅ Ask: “Does this medicine still have a clear benefit?”
✅ Deprescribe when appropriate
✅ Involve the patient & caregiver

Safe prescribing is a key part of healthy ageing.

@ShivrattanDhil1 If only our government were so proactive thinkers.

@sardesairajdeep 3 points lost to referee error.

[Dr. Akash Jaiswal @Akash__jaiswal]

@sardesairajdeep Disrespectful to the guest. If someone comes to our home we take care of thier likes and dislikes, this is against Indian culture.

[Dr. Akash Jaiswal @Akash__jaiswal]

@AMISHDEVGAN Those who are happy with this I wonder how they would feel if they go to China and are served only Non Veg food. Its disrespect to the guests who have came to your country.

Vaccination is not just for children. Adults need vaccines too.

For older adults, important vaccines to discuss with your doctor include:

💉 Influenza — every year
💉 Pneumococcal — according to age and risk
💉 Herpes zoster (shingles) — especially important with increasing age
💉 Td/Tdap — tetanus, diphtheria ± pertussis
💉 COVID-19 — according to current recommendations
💉 Hepatitis B — for those with relevant risk factors

The schedule is not the same for everyone. Age, previous vaccination, chronic diseases and immune status matter.

In India, adult vaccination remains an underused part of preventive healthcare.

A health check-up should not only ask: “What medicines are you taking?”
It should also ask: “Are your vaccines up to date?”

@TrendonomicsHD She will still justify this by giving random reasons.

@AnthropicAI Some things should be off limits while giving access to general public.

@DesiEsco7 If only authorities become strict in issuing driving licenses and strict penalties for those who break traffic rules most of the issue would be solved.

How Gut Microbiota Influence Healthy Aging: Overview of Reviews

https://t.co/iLMGvmkUAD

[Dr. Akash Jaiswal @Akash__jaiswal]

You can eat enough protein and still not give your ageing muscles what they need.

With ageing, muscles become less responsive to protein. This is called anabolic resistance.

That’s where leucine matters.

Leucine acts as a key trigger for muscle protein synthesis. So for older adults, it’s not only how much protein you eat, but also the quality and leucine content of each meal.

Think:
🥛 Milk/curd
🥚 Eggs
🧀 Paneer
🐟 Fish/chicken
🌱 Soy & pulses

A practical goal: include a meaningful protein source in every major meal, rather than eating most of your protein at dinner.

Because in healthy ageing, preserving muscle is not about looking fit.

It is about staying independent.
