Resumen

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

Resumen

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.

Resumen

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.

Resumen

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).

Resumen

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.

Resumen

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.

Resumen

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.

Resumen

Alongside informal networks of friends and family, formal social groupings such as voluntary associations are valued by older people as opportunities for engagement. In Australia, one such grouping is the licensed social (or ‘registered’) club. 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. This ethnographic study of one particular registered club aimed to discover the nature, meaning and role of club participation for its older members. Social capital existing in club-based networks emerged as a further investigative focus, and its mechanisms and outcomes were examined. Participant observation and in-depth interviewing were the main data collection methods used. Data analysis procedures included thematic analysis (based loosely on grounded theory methodology), as well as the more contextsensitive narrative analysis and key-words-in-context analysis. The study found that club participation enabled older members to maintain valued social networks, self-reliance and a sense of autonomy. Social networks were characterised by social capital of the bonding type, being largely homogeneous with respect to age, gender, (working) class and cultural background. Strong cohesive bonds were characterised by intimacy and reciprocity, and possessed norms including equality and the norm of tolerance and inclusiveness. These helped to minimise conflict and build cohesiveness, while protecting older club-goers from increasing marginalisation within the club. Peer grouping within this mainstream setting may have shielded the older club-goers from stigma associated with participation in old-age specific groups. The nature and scale of registered club participation amongst older Australians points to their unique and important role. The findings of this research indicate that – for at least this group of older men and women - club use is a major contributor to maintaining social connectedness and a sense of self as self-reliant, autonomous and capable. In the context of an ageing population, Australia’s registered clubs feature in the mosaic of resources available to older people, and their communities, for the creation of social capital.

Resumen

This thesis examines how rapid demographic, social and economic changes are impacting on traditional care for the urban aged in China and Japan as both experience world record rates of ageing caused by greater longevity and lower birth rates. The challenge for their governments is to foster active contribution by the healthy aged to society and protection for the frail aged. China lags behind Japan in special treatment for senior citizens. The manner in which these two countries handle the ageing of their populations could provide valuable lessons for Australia in the future.

Resumen

Attitudes toward the elderly were examined in three generations through analysis of media use, gender, contact with elderly, age, factual knowledge about aging, and parental influence on attitude formation. The results revealed that age, factual knowledge, perceived ageism in mass media and parental influence were significantly related to attitude toward the elderly.

Resumen

Nowadays China is facing a serious problem of aging population. Older people suffer losses in aspects, especially in cognitive function. It is necessary and worthwhile to design effective cognitive training programs, based on our knowledge of cognitive aging mechanisms, to help older people maintain and improve their cognitive abilities. The present paper aims to introduce the development of cognitive training program for older people from the following three aspects: a) the status quo of aging society in China, b) cognitive aging and its underlying mechanisms, and c) the approach and practice of cognitive training.

Resumen

When designers need to develop communication, interior, signage or urban environment design projects for elderly people, their skills are enhanced with studies about normal aging process and anatomic changes. The same way, knowledge about vision, colour vision, vision loss and deficient colour perception of older people, must be taken into account, in order to improve design practice. These aspects of projectual practice are the key aspects to be addressed in this paper. In order to prevent dependency and exclusion, designers have to understand and account for the reduced functional capabilities of older adults in their designs. Achieving project goals for this target group will ensure better solutions for all users. We hope that this work will support design professionals in their goal for 'design for all'. Bringing knowledge about colour vision deficits, and applying principles of visual ergonomics to projectual practice, will help people moving safely in urban environments, living comfortably in interior spaces, and reading all the visual printed information with minimum effort, which will improve their quality of life.

Resumen

Assistive robotics provides a powerful solution for improving the quality of life of the elderly and frail people and will play a key role in the coming years as part of strategies for Ageing in place and Active and Healthy Ageing. If robots are going to be used by a large number of users, it is essential that they are accepted by as many people as possible. However, many of the assistive robots are designed with little consideration of the social, aesthetic, and emotional relationships that the elderly will experience when interacting with the product (Forlizzi et al., 2004). The acceptability of technology is a big issue, especially for elderly and frail people: the factors that influence it, and that also determine a positive User Experience, are many, as shown by the countless existing evaluation methods. Moreover, the acceptability of technology, in particular for elderly and frail users, is currently a delicate issue, whose evaluation criteria offer many challenges to design research. In fact, the interaction that users establish with assistive robots and all related technologies defines the very experience of aging. In this context, the Human-Centred Design and Ergonomics in Design approaches and methodologies can contribute to improve human-robot-digital technology interaction through the design of assistive robots according to people’s real needs and expectations.This paper presents the results of a survey conducted with primary and secondary users of assistive robots, with a focus on factors influencing robotic acceptability.The survey aims to collect quantitative and qualitative data about the relationship between people and robots, with a focus on beliefs, attitudes, preferences and use of such devices by users of different age and technological experience level. The survey aims to investigate users' attitudes, behaviors, beliefs and goals in relation to robots.The survey, conducted as an online questionnaire, is targeted at current and potential users of social and assistive robots. The questionnaire is addressed to a sample of users of both genders, aged between 18 and 99 years. The total sample surveyed is 272 people in Italy and 15 people in Europe. The survey includes a preliminary demographic analysis of users (age, robotic experience level, etc.) and then it investigates the beliefs, attitudes and behaviors towards assistive robots, and also the aesthetic and functional factors that may influence its acceptability.This research applies the scientific methods of Human-Centred Design and Ergonomics in Design (Stanton, 2014; Giacomin, 2014; Maguire, 2001) for qualitative investigation of older adults' preferences for assistive robots.The results provide an insight into how the acceptability factors of assistive robot tested in the literature actually relate to the preferences and attitudes of potential and current users. In addition, the results highlight the need for stronger involvement of stakeholders during the design phases of robots in order to promote a deeper understanding of those people’s needs and insights that cannot be collected by quantitative surveys. This study provides a groundwork for future researches in the Human-Robot Interaction and Human-Centred Design areas.

Resumen

Population ageing and urbanisation are two major global trends. With ongoing rapid urbanisation and the global population's shift toward an older age structure, older people need to be given significant consideration in community building. Community home-based care has become the choice of most elderly people. The elderly can be regarded as a valuable community resource. According to the current problems faced by the elderly and community residents, this paper proposes a new shared service model based on the theory of service design and distributed economy. In this model, elderly people can open up free space in their homes as a club, mini library, etc., where community residents can share resources, experiences or interests with others. The aim is to help the elderly participate in community activities and create value for the community. This model helps improve the well-being of older people and the sense of belonging of community residents.

Resumen

Population aging is a major societal challenge worldwide, and the Baltic Sea region is no exception. This challenge has increased interest in successful aging through digital assistive technology (DAT). This paper seeks to shed more light on the potential impact of DAT on successful aging by offering deeper insight into the needs and expectations of older people as well as the barriers to and challenges in providing DAT solutions. Given the nature of the research questions, a qualitative approach was employed, and a multiple-case study was conducted in six Baltic Sea region countries: Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Russia, Denmark, and Finland. The central finding of the study revealed that older people and technology providers perceived DAT solutions as of utmost importance in supporting successful aging. The study also contributes to the discussion of the need for a more holistic and multidimensional approach to successful aging by proposing to incorporate the impact of technological advances into a conceptual framework that outlines more comprehensively the components of successful aging.

Resumen

Growing the proportion of older people requires adapting services and products to their needs and preferences, which will support and extend their full life. While once people aged 55 and over considered themselves old, most of them now live an active life. Over the past decade, the proportion of those who are fully employed has changed and their stereotypes and behaviour have increased, thus changing the quality of life demands. With the gradual aging of the population, the problem of dealing with the housing of older people begins to grow. Housing is one of the key factors in the fight against social exclusion. Housing promotes coherence between communities, enabling sustainable development goals to be achieved. Each state uses its own housing policy, based on social policy and historical conditions, to solve housing-related problems. In the paper we will discuss the possibilities of life in retirement age.

Resumen

The global population is ageing and simultaneously the life expectancy at older ages is improving. To support healthy and active aging, it is imperative to find solutions to support physical activity (PA) in older age. Digital wellness technologies are a potential solution, but in order for such technologies to be successful, research is needed to gain a better understanding on their use and effectiveness among aged people. To address this need, this study investigated the effectiveness of a physical activity application to promote PA behavior among aged people of different demographics (gender, age, education, marital status). PA levels were measured before taking the application into use and after 12 months of use. The results suggest that a physical activity application can be effective in promoting PA behavior among aged people as there was a notable and a statistically significant increase in walking and total PA levels between baseline and 12-month follow-up. Regarding the demographic differences, there were very few differences in the changes in PA levels between different demographics, suggesting the effectiveness is not subject to the demographic background of the user.

Resumen

• Older adults have complex and unique needs that can influence how and when cancer is diagnosed, the types of treatment that are offered, how well treatment is tolerated and treatment outcomes. • This Evidence Check review identified 41 studies that specifically addressed barriers and enablers to cancer screening, diagnosis and treatment among adults aged 65 years and older. • Question 1: The main barriers for older people at risk of and/or living with cancer to access and participate in timely cancer screening relate to lack of knowledge, fear of cancer, negative beliefs about the consequences of cancer, and hygiene concerns in completing testing. The main enablers to participation in timely cancer screening include positive/helpful beliefs about screening, social influences that encourage participation and knowledge. • Question 2: The main barriers for older people at risk of and/or living with cancer to access and/or seek timely cancer diagnosis relate to lack of knowledge of the signs and symptoms of cancer that are distinct from existing conditions and ageing, healthcare accessibility difficulties, perceived inadequate clinical response from healthcare providers, and harmful patient beliefs about risk factors and signs of cancer. The main enablers to accessing and/or seeking a timely cancer diagnosis include knowledge of the signs and symptoms of cancer, and support from family and friends that encourage help-seeking for symptoms. • Question 3: The main barriers for older people at risk of and/or living with cancer in accessing and completing cancer treatment include discrimination against patients in the form of ageism, lack of knowledge, patient concern about the adverse effects of treatment, predominantly on their independence, healthcare accessibility difficulties including travel and financial burden, and patients’ caring responsibilities. The main enablers to accessing and completing cancer treatment are social support from peers in a similar situation, family and friends, the influence of healthcare providers, and involving patients in treatment decision making. • Implications. The development of strategies to address the inequity of cancer outcomes in people aged 65 years and older in NSW should consider: Increasing community members’ and patients’ knowledge and awareness by providing written information and decision support tools from a trusted source Reducing travel and financial burden by widely disseminating information about existing support schemes and expanding remote patient monitoring and telehealth Improving social support by promoting peer support, and building the support capacity of family carers Addressing ageism by supporting patients in decision making, and disseminating education initiatives about geriatric oncology to healthcare providers Providing interdisciplinary geriatric oncology care by including a geriatrician as part of multidisciplinary teams and/or expanding geriatric oncology clinics.

Resumen

The policy review is part of the project EQualCare: Alone but connected? Digital (in)equalities in care work and generational relationships among older people living alone, a three-year international project involving four countries: Finland, Germany, Latvia and Sweden. EQualCare interrogates inequalities by gender, cultural and socio-economic background between countries, with their different demographics and policy backgrounds. As a first step into empirical analysis, the policy review aims to set the stage for a better understanding of, and policy development on, the intersections of digitalisation with intergenerational care work and care relationships of older people living alone in Germany. The policy review follows a critical approach, in which the problems policy documents address are not considered objective entities, but rather discursively produced knowledge that renders visible some parts of the problem which is to be solved as other possible perspectives are simultaneously excluded. Twenty publicly available documents were studied to analyse the processes in which definitions of care work and digital (in)equalities are circulated, translated and negotiated between the different levels of national government, regional governments and municipalities as well as other agencies in Germany. The policy review consists of two parts: a background chapter providing information on the social structure of Germany, including the historical development of Germany after the Second World War, its political structure, information on the demographic situation with a focus on the 60+ age group, and the income of this age group. In addition, the background presents the structure of work and welfare, the organisation of care for old people, and the state of digitalisation in Germany. The analysis chapter includes a description of the method used as well as an overview of the documents chosen and analysed. The focus of this chapter is on the analysis of official documents that deal with the interplay of living alone in old age, care, and digitalisation. The analysis identified four themes: firstly, ageing is framed largely as a challenge to society, whereas digitalisation is framed as a potential way to tackle social challenges, such as an ageing society. Secondly, challenges of ageing, such as need of care, are set at the individual level, requiring people to organise their care within their own families and immediate social networks, with state support following a principle of subsidiarity. Thirdly, voluntary peer support provides the basis for addressing digital support needs and strategies. Publications by lobby organisations highlight the important work done by voluntary peer support for digital training and the benefits this approach has; they also draw attention to the over-reliance on this form of unpaid support and call for an increase in professional support in ensuring all older people are supported in digital life. Fourthly, ageing as a hinderance to participation in digital life is seen as an interim challenge among younger old people already online.

Resumen

Population aging is a global phenomenon that has presented capacity and resource challenges for providing supportive care environments for older people in later life (Bone et al., 2018, Finucane et al., 2019). Aging-in-place was introduced as a policy driver for creating supportive environmental and social care to enable individuals to live independently at home and in the community for as long as possible. Recently, there has been a move towards offering care for people with a terminal illness at home and in the community (Shepperd et al., 2016); and when appropriate, to die in supportive, home-like environments such as care homes (Wada et al., 2020). Aging-in-place principles can, thus and, should be extended to enabling supportive, home-like environments at the end-of-life. Yet, first, we must consider the appropriateness, availability and diversity of options for community-based palliative and end-of-life care (PEoLC), in order to optimise supports for older people who are dying at home or within long-term/residential care environments. Globally, across places with similar health and social care systems and service models such as in Scotland and in Canada, community-based PEoLC options are currently not uniformly available. Given that people entering into long-term/residential care homes are increasingly closer to the end of life, there is now an even greater demand for PEoLC provision in residential facilities (Kinley et al., 2017). Although most reported deaths occur within an inpatient hospital setting (50%), the proportion of overall deaths in a care home setting is projected to increase from 18% to 22.5% (Finucane et al, 2019). This suggests that long-term/residential care homes are to become the most common place of death by 2040, evidencing the need to develop and sustain appropriate and compassionate PEoLC to support those who are able to die at home and those living in residential care facilities (Bone et al., 2018; Finucane et al., 2019). This research initiative is premised on the notion that aging in place matters throughout the life-course, including at the end-of-life and that the socio-environmental aspects of care homes need to enable this.

Resumen

Review question / Objective: To investigate the prevalence of postoperative delirium (POD) or postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) between regional and general anesthesia in older patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. Condition being studied: About 1.6 million people suffer hip fractures each year globally1. The risk of hip fracture-related postoperative mortality within 30 days approximately was 8.2% in December 2020, up 1.5% from December 2016. Across the world, the aging population is growing, and a significant number of elderly patients are undergoing various kinds of orthopedic surgeries. Age as an important independent high-risk factor is associated with perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PNDs), which not only increases the rate but also causes a serious economic and social burden. One previous study investigated that between 2012 and 2016, the absolute total number of hip fractures in people aged 55 and older increased by about 4 times due to an aging population12. In addition, Bhushan et al. reported that along with the increasing aging of society, the incidence rate of POCD is 5% to 56% in the elderly over 55 years old after surgery morbidity and mortality but also causes a serious economic and social burden.

Resumen

This report focuses on the concept of the silver economy, which has emerged as a response to population ageing in Europe in recent years. The silver economy refers to all economic activities linked to older age groups. The concept is based on the notion that many older people continue to make valuable economic and societal contributions after retirement, and that older citizens can provide significant economic and societal benefits, particularly if they are healthy and active. This report examines policies and initiatives to promote the silver economy and the closely related concepts of healthy ageing, active ageing and age-friendliness. The report seeks to uncover what are the preconditions for expanding the Nordic silver economy, and how cross-border collaboration can help enhance the potential of the silver economy in border regions.

Resumen

There are estimated to be around 900 million older adults (aged 60 years and above), around 13 per cent of the world population. The COVID-19 pandemic helped shed light on the specific needs of older people as a group more susceptible to severe disease/infection, and revealed the lack of capacity within water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) NGOs to respond to these specific needs. This SLH Learning Paper explores the WASH needs of older people in both development and humanitarian contexts, as well as the fundamental role older people play in facilitating other people’s WASH access, health, and wellbeing. The paper refers to the data WASH actors collect on older people in order to understand their differing WASH needs, the barriers to accessing WASH, and the need to ensure older people’s participation, including their active role in helping find the solutions. Recommendations are made for planning with communities and programme design; WASH programme implementation and to reduce environmental barriers.
