            "description": "Identifying older adults at increased dementia risk is a public health priority. Existing scores often emphasize midlife factors or variables of limited utility in late life. We developed a late-life dementia risk score using data from the InveCe.Ab cohort, including 1100 dementia-free individuals aged 70–74 and followed for 12 years. Candidate risk and protective factors were selected based on systematic reviews and expert consensus. Stepwise Cox models were used to construct a weighted score with and without adjustment for non-modifiable factors. External validation was performed in the TRELONG cohort. The selected modifiable factors were diabetes, alcohol consumption, hypercholesterolemia, social participation, and cognitive activity, with strong predictive accuracy for dementia incidence (HR = 1.23; 95% CI 1.14–1.33; p < 0.026), also after adjustment for non-modifiable factors. In the TRELONG cohort, the score remained significant (HR = 1.19; 95% CI 1.05–1.10; p = 0.008), though its predictive value decreased when adjusting for non-modifiable factors. The LateDem-Risk score offers a practical tool for risk stratification in adults aged ≥ 70 years. Further studies are needed to evaluate its predictive performance in different settings and populations.",

            "description": "Dengue continues to pose a significant global health threat. However, the development of a safe and effective tetravalent vaccine is impeded by complex serotype-specific and cross-reactive immune responses. This review assesses licensed and advanced dengue vaccines, emphasizing serostatus-dependent safety, serotype imbalance, and the durability of protection. It also critically evaluates immunological correlates of protection and addresses remaining obstacles, such as vector-mediated immune modulation and orthoflavivirus cross-reactivity, to guide future dengue vaccine strategies.",
