Patterns of home care and community support preferences among older adults with disabilities in China: a latent class analysis

Feng Xiao et al.

Summary: Ageing in place is the favored option for older adults, but changes in family structure have diminished the role of the family in care, necessitating more support from society. However, there is a shortage of formal caregivers in many countries, including China. Therefore, understanding home care patterns and family preferences is crucial for providing effective social support and reducing government costs.

Comprehensive geriatric assessment in older people: an umbrella review of health outcomes

Nicola Veronese et al.

Summary: This study conducted an umbrella review and meta-analyses to assess the effectiveness of comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) on health outcomes in older persons. The results showed that CGA can reduce the risk of nursing home admission, falls, and pressure sores in hospital medical settings, as well as decrease the risk of delirium and physical frailty. However, the evidence of benefits for the use of CGA in other settings is less strong.

Summary: Among older adults, handgrip strength is commonly used as an indicator of frailty and sarcopenia. However, this study found that there is poor agreement between the two most frequently used handgrip dynamometers, indicating a lack of validity. Standardization and device-specific cutoff points are needed for accurate diagnosis.
