(author), Nieuwdorp, M. (author), IJzerman, R.G. (author)Expert groups argue to raise the recommended daily allowance for protein in older adults from 0.8 to 1.2 g/kg/day to prevent undernutrition. However, protein is thought to increase satiety, possibly through effects on gut microbiota and central appetite regulation. If true, raising daily protein intake may work counterproductively. In a...article 2023

(author)BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: While underlying pathophysiology linking obesity to brain health is not completely understood, white adipose tissue (WAT) is considered a key player. In obesity, WAT becomes dysregulated, showing hyperplasia, hypertrophy, and eventually inflammation. This disbalance leads to dysregulated secretion of adipokines...article 2023

(author), Nieuwenhuizen, A.G. (author), Keijer, J. (author)Background: Physical weakness is a key component of frailty, and is highly prevalent in older adults. While females have a higher prevalence and earlier onset, sex differences in the development of frailty-related physical weakness are hardly studied. Therefore, we investigated the intramuscular changes that differentiate between fit and weak...article 2023

Hoeberichts, K. (author), Roke, Y. (author), Niks, I.M.W. (author), van Harten, P.N. (author)Objectives. Adults with autism often need support to detect their stress and to apply adequate coping strategies for dealing with daily stress. The personalized mobile application Stress Autism Mate (SAM) is developed for and by adults with autism to detect and cope with daily life stress. SAM measures stress four times daily, generates an...article 2022

Weiland, R.F. (author), Polderman, T.J.C. (author), Smit, D.J.A. (author), Begeer, S. (author), van der Burg, E. (author)To facilitate multisensory processing, the brain binds multisensory information when presented within a certain maximum time lag (temporal binding window). In addition, and in audiovisual perception specifically, the brain adapts rapidly to asynchronies within a single trial and shifts the point of subjective simultaneity. Both processes,...article 2022

Albers, N. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author), Brinkman, W.P. (author)Behavior change applications often assign their users activities such as tracking the number of smoked cigarettes or planning a running route. To help a user complete these activities, an application can persuade them in many ways. For example, it may help the user create a plan or mention the experience of peers.

(author), Nieuwdorp, M. (author), IJzerman, R.G. (author)Background: Older adults are particularly prone to the development of poor appetite and undernutrition. Possibly, this is partly due to the aged gut microbiota. We aimed to evaluate the gut microbiota in relation to both poor appetite and undernutrition in community-dwelling older adults.
