Abstract:
This study explores the severity of depression in older persons who are chronically ill. The study was an attempt to determine if there is a significant relationship between four independent variables—family support, social support, marital status, and gender. The study was conducted while respondents were hospitalized at Clayton General Hospital. The research concluded that most older chronically ill persons were not depressed or were only mildly depressed. Significant factors were gender. Females reported more incidence of depression than males and single respondents reported higher incidenc

Abstract:
Lifelong learning (LL) has been widely regarded as one of the activities that can enhance well-being of the society and benefit older persons in terms of psychological, physical, mental, and cognitive well-being. In foreign countries like the Unites States of America, the United Kingdom, Finland, France, Australia, and also China, LL among older persons had been developed successfully. Hong Kong, in contrast, has no systematic planning for the development of LL even though the aged population is increasing rapidly. This research aims at constructing a LL model for older persons in Hong Kong. T

Abstract:
With aging there is a decrease in a person’s ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL) which may be most effectively addressed using training patterns that are biomechanically similar to ADL. Since aquatic exercise offers the opportunity to provide resistance with a high level of safety, the pool may afford the ideal environment for ADL-specific training in an aging population. Purpose: The purpose of this investigation was to compare a traditional aquatic exercise program (TRAD) to an aquatic program tailored to target ADL (ADLspec).

Fysisk aktivitet handler om hva du faktisk gjør i løpet av en dag. Fysisk aktivitet endres som følge av økt alder og funksjonsnivå, men også som følge av skader eller sykdom. For eldre er linken mellom fysisk aktivitet og funksjon viktig, og å være i aktivitet er viktig for å opprettholde selvstendighet i daglige aktiviteter. Eldre som har vansker med å forflytte seg er ofte inaktive, og risikoen for ytterligere funksjonsnedsettelser vil dermed også øke. For disse vil mobilisering være ekstra viktig etter perioder med sengeleie grunnet sykdom eller operasjoner. Fysisk aktivitet over lengre per

Abstract:
Film watching is a popular leisure activity in modern society. Films, as a medium, provide powerful tools to deliver social messages and to create images of particular social groups. The cinematic images portrayed by films toward a particular social group may consequently shape our social perceptions and expectations of that social group. The ways that cinematic images portray older persons are, therefore, a potentially major source for detecting social values and views about them. As some cinematic images tend to reflect social attitudes and behaviours, the present research aimed at investiga

The rise in the numbers of older persons in the United States makes hearing loss the third most common chronic illness in the US today.

Abstract:
Decline in both visual acuity and visual performance is a fact of life for older people and their increasing share of the population requires that buildings be designed with their visual needs in mind. As their field of vision decreases, people find it harder to identify an objects location, distance, and orientation. Elderly people with vision impairments usually find it harder to perform daily activities such as navigation through indoor spaces. Functional vision can be improved by modifying the design of spaces, for example, with better lighting. However, architects typically do not know ho

The number of older persons is growing at a shocking rate. In spite of this reality, the South African health care sector does not prioritise older persons, causing their health to be poorly managed.

This causes a high burden on the public health sector of South Africa, with specific reference to the Primary Health Care (PHC) clinics.

The loneliness model suggested that certain background characteristics, personality resources (morale and mastery), and perceived levels of social support would influence the sample’s perspective an
