Being a Young Carer in Portugal: The Impact of Caring on Adolescents’ Life Satisfaction
Caring for an ill or disabled relative can present significant challenges that may exceed the personal resources of the caregiver. Young carers (YCs) often take on this role, providing support to family members or friends, which can have far-reaching effects on various aspects of their lives. This study involved 235 adolescents, 106 YCs, and 129 non-carers (NCs), who completed questionnaires assessing life satisfaction, satisfaction with social s…
Empowering frail older adults: Multicomponent elastic-band exercises and BCAA supplementation unleash physical health and preserve haematological biomarkers
The effectiveness of Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) supplementation on enhancing exercise performance in both young and older adults remains a topic of debate. Recent research suggests that BCAAs combined with regular exercise might have an impact on human erythropoiesis, blood dynamics, and iron homeostasis. Given the increasing longevity of the global population, it is crucial to investigate the potential benefits of BCAA supplementation an…

Do age, psychosocial, and health characteristics alter the weak and strong tie composition of network diversity and core network size in urban adults
Social capital and social support are two key constructs in the study of social networks and health. Despite their importance, little research has sought to examine the characteristics of those social ties by which individuals access social capital and support resources. Network diversity - a key structural feature in accessing social capital - refers to a person's broad but generally weak and heterogeneous social ties; core network size - a key …
