BACKGROUND: Urinary incontinence worsens the psychological state of older adults, increases the risk of developing anxiety, depression, falls-related injuries, leads to a decrease in the quality of life, and a decrease in the level of physical activity in old age. AIM: To assess the prevalence of urinary incontinence according to the data of the Crystal and Eucalyptus studies, to identify factors associated with the development of urinary incontinence, as well as factors that reduce the risk of urinary incontinence in old age. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A random sample of 1007 people a

Abstract:

The prevalence of urinary incontinence increases as a person ages, as age-related changes make it more difficult to maintain continence. Long-term conditions and treatments prescribed to treat conditions, such as heart failure, can lead to an urgency to void the bladder. Frailty can make it difficult for an older person to respond this need. At end of life, mobility is often compromised and people can experience extreme fatigue. Caregivers can obtain support to manage an individual's incontinence during the day but often struggle alone at night. Caregivers can become exhausted and a situation

Abstract:

Adult incontinence violates social norms and values and undermines the personal expectation of being independent, dry and clean. Urinary incontinence is widely known to have a psychological impact on elderly people. This paper reports the findings of a study of the impact of incontinence on a convenience sample of older people in Hong Kong. Several of the results concur with those of studies in western countries. It was found that the prevalence of urinary incontinence increased with adult age, and that the condition affected women more than men. Over half of both men and women respondents had

Abstract:

Abstract Urinary incontinence (UI), the involuntary loss of urine, is a common health condition that may decrease the quality of life and which increases in incidence and prevalence with age. Recent epidemiologic data suggest an overall prevalence of 38% in women older than 60 years, increasing to 77% in older women living in nursing homes. Despite this high prevalence, incontinence remains underdiagnosed and undertreated in this age group. In a representative population of 7,000 participants drawn from the Irish Longitudinal Study of Ageing, 750 had UI of whom 285 (38%) had not sought the hel

Abstract:

Abstract Background Urinary incontinence (UI) is one of the ‘giants’ of gerontological care, associated with early mortality, depression and falls in later life. It is often amenable to treatment, yet clinical experience suggests that older people with urinary incontinence often go undiagnosed and therefore untreated. The aim of this study therefore was to ascertain the prevalence of UI in a large population representative sample of Irish adults ≥50 years; to examine how often participants report UI to healthcare professionals; to profile factors associated with UI and its impact on quality of

Abstract:

Urinary incontinence is a common condition that affects both men and women, and with profoundly negative effects. Prevalence figures do show that it is more common in younger women than men, but as people age the difference decreases, with research identifying that one in three older men have continence issues. However, even with this increase, there is little direct best practice guidance on addressing male urinary incontinence compared to that for women. Professionals seem to be unaware that men have known existing barriers to accessing health care and this would be especially true of such a

Accurate assessment of renal function is vital, especially in older individuals, as this is the population in which the greatest burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) occurs. With ageing, the kidneys undergo a multitude of structural and functional changes. The age-related changes in the kidneys may be further complicated by concurrent pre-renal, renal and post-renal factors common in old age, such as hypertensive glomerulosclerosis, diabetic nephropathy, congestive cardiac failure, renovascular atheroma, urinary outflow obstruction, urinary tract infections, renal stones and drug-induced nep

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION: Sarcopenia is associated with recurrent falls, limited mobilization, depression, increased risk of morbidity and mortality in geriatric patients. It has been reported that the risk of frailty and disability increases more when obesity and sarcopenia coexist. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between obesity and sarcopenic obesity with functionality and geriatric syndromes in geriatric patients. METHODS: A total of 432 patients underwent a comprehensive geriatric assessment and whose file records were reached were included in the study. Skeletal muscle mass

Objectives: To study the prevalence of Geriatric giants among elderly attending Geriatric clinic of YMCH and to study the various factors (like Age, gender, co-morbidity, etc.) associated with these Geriatric giants. Method: This retrospective study was conducted in a tertiary care referral centre, from the year 2018 to 2019, Ethics committee approval was taken wide letter no. YEC-1/29/2020 (Protocol YEC2/162). Two hundred two geriatric patients, presenting to the geriatric clinic with geriatric giants, with various co-morbidities, their data was recorded. Falls in the previous year and urinar

Abstract Background Loss of muscle mass and function may be more pronounced in older adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and with albuminuria. Thus, we investigated the prevalence of sarcopenia among community-dwelling older adults according to kidney function and grade of albuminuria. We also explored differences in the prevalence of sarcopenia according to three different equations for the estimation of glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Methods A cross-sectional analysis of 1420 community-dwelling older adults (≥75 years old) included in the SCOPE study, a multicenter prospective cohor

Abstract:

Abstract Background The development of ambulatory emergency care services, now called ‘Same Day Emergency Care’ (SDEC) has been advocated to provide sustainable high quality healthcare in an ageing population. However, there are few data on SDEC and the factors associated with successful ambulatory care in frail older people. We therefore undertook a prospective observational study to determine i) the clinical characteristics and frailty burden of a cohort in an SDEC designed around the needs of older patients and ii) the factors associated with hospital admission within 30-days after initial

Abstract People over 80 years old are now the fastest-growing age group. Bloodstream infections (BSI) in these patients may present with specific characteristics. The objective of this study was to analyze independent factors affecting in-hospital mortality (IHM) due to BSI in very elderly patients (≥80 years of age) and to compare the clinical presentation of BSI in patients aged 80–89 years versus those aged 90 or more. Retrospective, cross-sectional and observational study of BSI in patients aged 80 years or older. The study used IHM as the primary outcome. Stepwise multiple logistic regres

Abstract:

An elderly man of my acquaintance once told me that there was nothing much to recommend living beyond 90. Things have changed over the past two decades, however. These days all he'd need is a touch of Viagra, an attitude reorientation, a little bit of manifesting and he'd be feeling as fit as, as, well … as a man in his 60s. Had he been around now, as a knowledgeable nonagenarian, he need not have mourned the passing of the years. Instead, he could have concentrated on becoming daily younger. As Second Youth so blithely trumpets: "In your youth, your mind, body and spirit are capable of great
