Mais do que democratizar o acesso, a CA fortalece a reprodutibilidade, incentiva o compartilhamento de dados e dá voz às comunidades de pessoas idosas.
A pesquisa sobre o cuidado digno deve ser feita de portas abertas para o avanço da sociedade.

O envelhecimento humano é multidimensional e exige respostas rápidas e éticas.
Por isso, editores de periódicos brasileiros de geriatria e gerontologia uniram-se no Manifesto em Defesa da Ciência Aberta 🔓. 
Um chamado urgente para mudar o paradigma da pesquisa

This highlights a vital window for targeted rehabilitation in older adults with dementia.
💬 Clinicians and researchers: Do you observe this functional plateau despite cognitive decline in your practice? How does this shape your interventions?

Does functional decline always mirror cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease? A 1-year longitudinal study published in Geriatr Gerontol Agingmonitored older adults with mild-to-moderate dementia to understand how different health dimensions change over time. 🧵👇

[Geriatrics, Gerontology and Aging @GgagingJ]

The findings: Over 12 months, cognitive scores significantly declined ($p=0.007$). However, measures of mobility, handgrip strength, and basic/instrumental activities of daily living remained statistically stable. Functional independence didn't drop immediately.

Can interactive workshops bridge the gap in older adult healthcare data tracking? A nationwide study of 3,011 Brazilian municipalities evaluated the Dgero Brasil Project's impact on logging Multidimensional Assessments of the Older Adult (AMPI). Let’s look at the data 🧵👇

[Geriatrics, Gerontology and Aging @GgagingJ]

Why? The study found that a municipality's Human Development Index (HDI) was the sole independent factor driving the volume of records. Meaning: training is great, but local socioeconomic infrastructure is the real anchor for sustainable health data.

União histórica pelo avanço da ciência! 🇧🇷 Editores de periódicos de envelhecimento lançam manifesto em defesa da #CienciaAberta. O objetivo? Democratizar dados, incentivar preprints e dar mais transparência à pesquisa em #Geriatria e #Gerontologia.

🚨 Brazil's aging crisis meets a training gap: only 59 medical residency programs in Geriatrics, heavily concentrated in the Southeast. New mapping reveals critical shortages in specialized #geriatrics workforce. 
Time to act! #HealthcareEducation

🧓📊 New study with ~23K Brazilian older adults shows physically active seniors are 3.3× more likely to rate their health as "good" — while sedentary behavior (TV ≥4h/day) raises the odds of poor self-perceived health by 42%. Move more, feel better.
