Abstract:

The multidimensionality of the aging process involves changes in different capacities. The age-friendly cities strategy addressed the need for adaptations in urban spaces that meets the demands of older people’s wellbeing. Thus, the aim of this study was to explore how Participative Mapping and World Café techniques could assist in identifying challenges to the delivery of services and resources to create communities that promote active aging, from the perspectives of older people and stakeholders. The techniques generated co-constructed discussion and shared understandings about the barriers residents face in negotiating and accessing services. Demands associated with the precariousness of local infrastructure, the absence of leisure activities, and a generalized feeling of insecurity in their neighborhoods were recurring themes. The demands led to the conclusion that for healthy aging, the interrelation of objective and subjective factors that take into

Abstract:

Objective: To identify the clinical and neuroimaging features in older people with disequilibrium of unknown cause.Background: Many older people show a deterioration of balance without an identifiable cause. Whether the disequilibrium is a normal aging phenomenon, the result of yet unidentified neuropathology, or a combination of the two is unknown.Methods: Twenty-nine patients who complained of disequilibrium (ages 75 to 92) and 29 age- and sex-matched control subjects completed five yearly examinations including history and semiquantitative neurologic examination, activities of daily living, visual acuity, mini-mental status, bedside gait and balance score (Tinetti), Purdue pegboard, and vestibular function testing. Concerns about falling and number of falls were quantified. Subcortical white matter lesions (WML) and frontal atrophy (FA) were graded (blindly), and the ventricular-brain ratio (VBR) was measured from MRIs of the brain.Results: On entry, patients differed from control subjects only in measures of balance, concerns about falling, and falls. Over the 5 years, patients were four times more likely to fall than control subjects. The number of falls was highly correlated with measures of balance (p < 0.001). The VBR as well as the frequency of WML and FA were all significantly (p< 0.001) greater in patients than in control subjects.Conclusion: Disequilibrium of unknown cause in older people is associated with frequent falls, concerns about falling, brain atrophy, and WML on MRI. Some cases are probably caused by small-vessel ischemic disease.

Abstract:

Serotonin toxicity, sometimes referred to as serotonin syndrome, results in a triad of clinical features that include autonomic signs, neuromuscular changes, and altered mental status, which may range from mild symptoms to fatal toxicity. As a result, serotonin toxicity is best thought of as a spectrum of symptoms rather than as a syndrome. Older patients may be at higher risk for serotonin toxicity because of the presence of drug-drug interactions as well as pharmacokinetic changes that occur with aging.

Abstract:

Visual impairment in the aging population may be brought about by localized pathological change or it may be associated with systemic disease. Localized ocular disorders include three of the commonest causes of visual loss in the elderly, namely cataract, glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration. Systemic diseases, with associated ocular involvement which may progress to blindness, include diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidaemia, which predispose to retinal vascular occlusion. Visual function may also be affected by various autoimmune disorders (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis), cerebrovascular disease, intraocular or intracranial tumours (primary or metastatic), as well as by infectious agents (herpes zoster ophthalmicus) and drugs (steroids).

Abstract:

IntroductionLongevity has lengthened in recent times. This has resulted in an increase in the elderly population, with life expectancy at birth in men in the UK being approximately 72.5 years and women, 78.5 years. Despite the risk of death from cardiovascular diseases decreasing in the past 40 years, these still continue to be the largest cause of mortality in the elderly. Cardiovascular mortality and morbidity are lower in women. However, this is not true in the later years of life. After the age of 80, the risk of cardiovascular problems increases to that of men. The cardiovascular changes occurring with aging consists of changes in the heart and arterial system.

Abstract:

Paramedic programmes incorporate person-centred approaches to the individualisation of emergency care. Within this context, older patients (aged 65+) pose specific challenges in relation to their ambulatory health and wellbeing. Helping these patients to avoid falling can contribute significantly to reducing their morbidity and mortality and improving their overall health and wellbeing. Alongside this, in times of economic constraint, it is the responsibility of all health professionals to promote ambulatory wellbeing to address the inordinate number of people necessitating paramedic support and intervention because of falls each year in the UK. Understanding the underlying processes of ageing, which are often a mix of the normal processes of physiological senescence, plus the impact of pathology—which is not age specific but occurs more commonly in older people—enables practitioners to build knowledge of how best these people can be supported. This short module affords paramedics the opportunity to learn about these physiological processes and to look at the holistic impact that falls can have on older people.

Abstract:

SummaryPruritus in older people is caused by a wide range of dermatological, systemic, neurological and psychogenic diseases. It can also be attributed to various cutaneous drug reactions. The dermatological, neurological and immunological changes associated with ageing predispose older people to pruritus of a wide range of aetiologies. The most common cause of pruritus in older people is xerosis, or dry skin. Regular use of emollients is the mainstay of treatment for pruritus of any cause, with general measures aiming to ensure optimal skin hydration and to prevent the itch–scratch cycle. Topical treatments are generally better tolerated for localized pruritus. Anti-histamines are the predominant agents to treat pruritus, but can be inadequate in many cases. Numerous other systemic agents have been demonstrated to alleviate pruritus depending on the cause, but may be limited by their adverse effects. This article reviews the current published literature on pruritus in older people, with a practical approach to its evaluation and management in non-specialist settings.

Abstract:

Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been particularly severe on older people. Past coronavirus epidemics namely Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome have also been severe on older people. These epidemics lasted for only a limited period, however, and have proven short lived in the memories of both the public and public health systems. No lessons were learnt to mitigate the impact of future epidemics of such nature, on older people. This complacency we feel has claimed the lives of many older people during the current COVID-19 global epidemic. The nature of risks associated with acquiring infections and associated mortality among older people in respiratory epidemic situations are varied and of serious concern. Our commentary identifies demographic, biological, behavioural, social and healthcare-related determinants, which increase the vulnerability of older people to respiratory epidemics. We acknowledge that these determinants will likely vary between older people in high- and low-middle income countries. Notwithstanding these variations, we call for urgent action to mitigate the impact of epidemics on older people and preserve their health and dignity. Intersectoral programmes that recognise the special needs of older people and in unique contexts such as care homes must be developed and implemented, with the full participation and agreement of older people. COVID-19 has created upheaval, challenging humanity and threatening the lives, rights, and well-being of older people. We must ensure that we remain an age-friendly society and make the world a better place for all including older people.

Abstract:

SummaryThe autonomic nervous system comprises the sympathetic, parasympathetic and enteric nervous systems and plays an integral role in homeostasis. This includes cardiovascular and temperature control, glucose metabolism, gastrointestinal and reproductive function and increasing evidence to support its involvement in the inflammatory response to infection and cancer. Ageing is associated with autonomic dysfunction, and many clinical syndromes associated with older adults are due to inadequate autonomic responses to physiological stressors. The aim of this review is to explore the relationship between autonomic dysfunction and ageing illustrated with examples of maladaptive autonomic responses in a variety of different clinical syndromes including an exploration of autonomic cellular changes. Appropriate investigation and management strategies are outlined, recognizing the fine balance needed to improve symptoms without creating further medical complications.

Abstract:

Objective: To address the gap in knowledge about HIV risk reduction materials that target older adults. This review offered a comprehensive and rigorous examination of HIV risk reduction education materials that targeted older adults in the United States, assessing the gap in their coverage and content. Method: A cross-sectional review of both print and Internet sources from state departments of public health, state and area agencies on aging, and web resources that targeted older populations was performed. Results: Of 29 health departments and 13 state and area agencies on aging that responded to the request, there were 9 HIV education materials identified that targeted older people. Of those materials, only 2 addressed the majority of aging-specific recommendations made from a previous study that described important HIV risk reduction information. Discussion: Recommendations are made about dissemination ideas to increase awareness and utilization of HIV educational materials.

SummaryAge-related changes affect all structures of the eye, and while age-related changes may influence the quality of vision, it is important to distinguish age-related physiological changes from pathological changes. This is important particularly when identifying pathological changes that may be treatable. The prevalence of visual loss increases substantially after 60 years of age and poor vision is the second most prevalent physical disability in older people. This review describes the normal ageing changes of the eye and outlines common ophthalmic diseases affecting older people. We refer to recent advances in diagnosis and treatment, and relevant current research.

Abstract:

A program of research conducted within an anti-agism paradigm demonstrates that young people process and respond to the speech of older people in stereotypical ways. Such conclusions result from studies using a variety of research methods. Experimental studies demonstrate that older-sounding speech triggers age schematic responses and that young people tend to use agist strategies of information seeking and compliance gaining from older people, while interactive studies explore how stereotypes and age identities are co-produced by young and old people in conversation. We use lifespan and intercultural perspectives to argue that the communicative patterns we observe in our studies are in some senses and contexts counterproductive in both the long and short term, in that they can reproduce negative attitudes toward aging as well as inhibit successful aging.

This paper focuses on the situation of older people in the information society. In the theoretical part of article phenomena of aging population and information society were described. This paper includes results of research conducted in qualitative strategy. The method of collecting data was biographical method. The method for data processing was qualitative content analysis. In the research 2 older, educationally active people took part. Results of research shows how older people understand the information society and what risk and opportunities they notice in this new reality. Narratives of the respondents indicated that education is of crucial importance for participation in the information society. Older people who take part in lifelong learning cope better with the new reality than people who do not learn. Based on the research results we can point out areas of education which should be development. Moreover, it is visible that educational activity of older people is very important in adaptation to the information society. Narratives of seniors indicate reasons for the lack of educational activity of other seniors. According to this, it can be specified what action should be undertaken to prevent the exclusion of older people in this new reali

Abstract:

SummaryHousing tenure takes a variety of forms, the most common of which are rental and owner-occupation. Currently, in the United Kingdom (UK), approximately 70% of older people live in owner-occupier properties, with the majority of the remainder renting from a public or private landlord. Research has consistently shown higher levels of morbidity and mortality among renters compared with owner-occupiers. However, it is unclear whether this is due to tenure acting as a proxy for other indicators of socio-economic status, such as income, which directly influences health, or whether other characteristics associated with tenure, including housing quality and location, explain the association. Untangling these competing influences of tenure on health is important, as it may provide clues on tackling health inequalities at older ages. Tenure too, appears to be related to the risk of long-stay care admission, with owner-occupiers significantly less likely to leave their home than renters; more work is required to identify why this is the case, as it may provide some insights on facilitating ageing in place.

Abstract:

Background: Death thoughts and wishes occur frequently among older people. In different European countries estimates of 10%–20% have been found. Aims: To determine the prevalence and associated factors of death thoughts and wishes among older people in The Netherlands. Methods: In The Netherlands 1794 people (58–98 years) were interviewed in 2005/2006 (Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam). Results: 81.3% reported never having death thoughts/wishes; 15.3% reported having had such thoughts/wishes; 3.4% reported currently having a wish to die and/or a weakened wish to continue living. Of those with a current wish to die, 67% had depressive symptoms (vs. 32% of people with death thoughts/wishes ever and 9% of people who never had had death thoughts/wishes), and 20% suffered from a depressive disorder (vs. 5% if death thoughts/wishes ever; 0.3% if never death thoughts/wishes). In a multivariate analysis, a current wish to die was associated with having depressive symptoms, a depressive disorder, lower perceived mastery, financial problems, loneliness, small network, involuntary urine loss, being divorced, and having a speech impediment. Conclusions: Practical implications for health-care professionals are that they should be aware that in certain situations older people are more likely to develop a wish to die, and that a wish to die does not necessarily mean that someone has a depressive disorder. Nevertheless, it should serve as a trigger to investigate and to treat depression if present.

Abstract:

The aging of the population creates problems in the relationship between representatives of different age categories, on the one hand, and on the other, it forces a critical look at the formed stereotypical ideas about old age and attitudes towards the elderly.The article analyzes the understanding of age discrimination (ageism) and age stereotypes, as well as approaches to overcoming these phenomena in modern societies.It was found out that ageism is based on the concept of norm and deviation, expectations of behavior that seems to correspond to a certain age. Various negative stereotypes in relation to the elderly are considered. Connections between stereotypes and the social position of the elderly have been established. The economic, axiological and media reasons for the formation of discriminatory attitudes towards the elderly are analyzed. In Ukraine, the following phenomena are observed: low level of social and economic activity due to insufficient educational and professional mobility of the workforce, insufficient development of institutions and traditions of self-education and continuous education throughout life in combination with a conservative employment structure and inflexibility of the labor market; the existence in the public opinion of ideas about the aging of the population as an exclusively negative process that must be fought, as well as stereotypes about senior citizens, which form a negative attitude towards them and are the basis for their discrimination in various spheres of life.Finding from the survey conducted in Poltava demonstrayed that among specialists, the smallest social distance with the elderly is observed in the family and household domains, and the largest in the professional activities. It was determined that combating ageism and stereotypes about the оlder people can include measures at the macro level (society level), at the level of certain communities and organizations, as well as individual work with people. Ways to counteract ageism and develop the philosophy of active aging are proposed, in particular, through educational programmes and local initiatives at the community level, introduction of the intergenerational programmes and age-friendly communities.

Disequilibrium is typically described as a feeling of dizziness when standing or walking that is not present while sitting or lying down. Since dizziness is such a common symptom in older people, the symptom may be dismissed as a normal aging phenomenon. On the other hand, the patient may be inappropriately given nonspecific treatment for dizziness such as meclizine or diazepam, which may worsen the condition, due to sedation.

Abstract:

In the past two decades, the rate of surgery in older people has increased more rapidly than the rate of aging of the population, so both a larger proportion and a greater number of older people are now undergoing surgery. This may partly reflect a cultural change in surgery and anaesthesia with respect to a greater willingness to undertake elective procedures in older people, although there remain areas where they have less access to surgery than do younger patients. For instance, older people are less likely to undergo operative procedures after a cancer diagnosis. Furthermore, in those who do have surgery, resection rate (i.e. curative therapy) is lower than in younger people with equivalent tumour stages, and even more so in older patients with COPD, cardiovascular disease or diabetes. This article explores the complex relationship between age and surgical outcome, provides an evidence-based overview of risk assessment and common postoperative problems in older people, and summarizes good practice points (at times necessarily pragmatic) for clinical management of the older surgical patient. There has been a substantial expansion in the literature examining risks, outcomes and interventions in older surgical patients since the previous review article of this subject published in this journal. Although we do not cover anaesthesia in older people, the review of that topic remains relevant. The American Society of Anaesthesiologists' Classification of Risk which illustrates that risk is disease- rather than age- based, is shown in Table 1. Most publications examine elective rather than emergency surgery in older people (with the exception of hip fracture), and this is reflected in the content of the paper.
