Fentanyl-stimulant overdose deaths surge among older adults

Overdose deaths in adults age 65 and older from fentanyl mixed with stimulants, such as cocaine and methamphetamines, have surged 9,000% in the past eight years, matching rates found among younger adults, according to research presented at the ANESTHESIOLOGY® 2025 annual meeting. The study is among the first to use Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data to show that older adults, a group often overlooked in overdose research, are part of the broader rise in fentanyl-stimulant overdose deaths. Adults 65 years and older are especially vulnerable to overdoses because many live with chronic health conditions, take several medications and process drugs more slowly due to age. The opioid epidemic has unfolded in four waves, each characterized by a different type of opioid driving the increase in overdose deaths: prescription opioids in the 1990s; heroin starting in 2010; fentanyl starting in 2013; and a mix of fentanyl and stimulants ...

Study reveals distinct links between depression subtypes and metabolic diseases

It is known that depression is linked to increased incidence of metabolic diseases; now scientists have discovered that different types of depression are linked to different cardiometabolic diseases. This work is presented at the ECNP Congress in Amsterdam. Over seven years, researchers tracked 5,794 adults, enrolled in the Netherlands Epidemiology of Obesity (NEO) Study, all of whom were free of diabetes and cardiovascular disease at the study’s start. At the start of the study each participant completed a comprehensive questionnaire to assess depressive symptoms. The team identified two distinct depressive profiles: one typified by “melancholic” symptoms (such as early morning awakening and reduced appetite), and another by “atypical/energy-related” symptoms (such as fatigue, increased sleep, and increased appetite). Around 8% of the participants developed a cardiometabolic condition during the follow-up period, but the type of condition they developed depended on the type of depression they had. Those with atypical/energy-related” symptoms were ...
