Abstract:

The research reported in the thesis investigated exergaming acceptance and expe-rience in older people with special reference to technology acceptance, flowstate, chronic pain and balance control. In recent years, there has been an increasing amount of literature on the beneficial effects of exergaming on older people’s health, well-being and balance, including the use of exergaming as a method of pain con-trol. Nevertheless, when taken separately, specific studies vary in methodology and in type(s) of exergaming topics studied. Health benefits from exergaming may only be gained if older peopl

Abstract:

Falls are a major cause of injury fear of falling and death affecting 24% of older people annually. Falls have a major impact on hospital services, are an important cause of carer strain and admission to long term care. Multifactorial interventions delivered to fallers are effective in reducing falls rates by 25%. However, no UK studies have evaluated the role of screening older people living in the community and offering those at high risk a falls prevention programme. This work describes two studies – the evaluation of a postal falls risk screening tool, and a randomised controlled trial ass

Abstract:

It is evident that the global population is ageing, with an increasing proportion of people aged over 65 years. Typically associated with a high proportion of morbidity and mortality, care of the increasing ageing population presents a challenge, with age-appropriate research required to promote and facilitate healthy ageing. In the present work, a novel drug delivery technology, designed to enhance transdermal drug delivery, was considered in the context of its potential future use in the older population. Microneedles (MNs) consist of a plurality of tiny projections in the micron scale, arra

Alongside informal networks of friends and family, formal social groupings such as voluntary associations are valued by older people as opportunities for engagement.

Approximately 20 per cent of all older Australians, and 80 per cent of older residents of the state of New South Wales, actively participate in such clubs. Despite this, older people’s registered club participation has received little scholarly attention.

Abstract:

Diabetes prevalence is increasing in our ageing and increasingly obese society. Diabetes is a heterogeneous condition, and challenges remain in all aspects of its management - from diagnosis through to optimising treatment, to managing complications. Increasing age brings altered physiological responses to disease, treatments and complications - and there may be more wide-ranging considerations such as dietary, mobility, dependency or cognition, to name just a few. Hypoglycaemia is one of the most important potential side-effects of insulin-therapy, and elderly adults are at particular risk fr

Abstract:

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is common and the prevalence increases with age. When OSA leads to sleep disruption and excessive daytime sleepiness, it is referred to as obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS). The aim of this thesis was to investigate the consequences of OSAS in older people (˃ 65 years) and the effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. CPAP is the treatment of choice in moderate to severe OSAS in middle aged people. However, there is a paucity of evidence on the therapeutic and economic benefits of CPAP in older people with OSAS.

A systematic review of trials about screening older people for visual impairment found no evidence that screening improved vision. We undertook a new trial nested within a larger cluster randomised trial of multidimensional screening for people aged 75 years and over. 106 general practices were randomised to: targeted screening in which only a small proportion of participants with a range of health problems were offered visual acuity screening, and universal screening in which all participants were offered visual acuity screening.

Abstract:

Three substantive chapters examine labour market dynamics among older people. Chapter 2 analyses older men and women's labour market transitions using the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS). I find large peaks in exit rates out of employment at ages 60 and 65 occurring in the exact birthday month, suggesting strong incentive effects of pension schemes. Discrete-time hazard regression analysis shows that health and potential income out of work are the most important determinants of these transitions, with effects that are larger than found in previous studies for British and US men.

Abstract:

This hermeneutical study interprets and describes the phenomena of ageing and living with disability. The lived experiences of 14 older men and the horizon of this researcher developed an understanding of what it is like for men to grow old and, for some, to live with the effects of a major disability. The study is grounded in the philosophical hermeneutics of Gadamer and framed in the context of embodiment, masculinity, and narrative. I conducted multiple in-depth interviews with older men aged from 67 to 83 years of age. Seven of the participants had experienced a stroke and I was able to
