Using the information-motivation-behavioral skills model for targeting older adults' climate change management practices: in the road of COP27

Abeer Abd El-Rahman Mohamed, Samia ElHusseini Abd-ElMageed Elkholy, Rasha Salah Eweida, Reham Magdy Mohammed Abdelsalam

Summary: This study aimed to determine the effect of an intervention based on the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills Model on climate change management practices among older adults. The results showed that the intervention significantly improved the scores of older adults in information, motivation, actual skills, and practices. However, the improvement declined significantly at the six-week mark, emphasizing the need for reinforcement to maintain positive outcomes in the long term.

Five-year changes of social activity and incident long-term care needs among depressed older adults: A 15-year follow up

Yifan Shan, Wenjing Zhao, Wen Hao, Takashi Kimura, Shigekazu Ukawa, Hideki Ohira, Takashi Kawamura, Kenji Wakai, Masahiko Ando, Akiko Tamakoshi, Chengzeng Wang

Summary: This study examined the effects of changes in individual/multiple social activities between 65 and 70 years of age on incident long-term care (LTC) needs between 70 and 80 in older adults with depressive symptoms. The results showed that increasing the frequency of learning activities reduced the risk of LTC needs and prolonged their LTC-needs-free survival time in individuals with depressive symptoms.

Quality of life in elderly patients with Neuro-co-Cardiological Diseases: Rasch analysis and confirmatory factor analysis of WHOQOL-BREF and SF-36 instruments

Dixiang Song, Deshan Liu, Min Yang, Shengyun Chen, Weihai Ning, Xin Li, Jie Yang, Yongle Li, Yifan Guo, Yushan Chen, Shasha Shang, Hongwei Zhang

Summary: This study aims to assess the quality of life in elderly patients with neuro-co-cardiological diseases multimorbidity and evaluate the validity and reliability of two measurement scales. The findings suggest that both the WHOQOL-BREF and SF-36 are effective instruments for assessing quality of life in this population, with SF-36 generally outperforming WHOQOL-BREF. The presence of anxiety, depression, and cognitive impairment affects the quality of life, and certain items may need to be removed in practical use.

Evaluating the effect of kidney function on brain volumes and dementia risk in the UK Biobank

Xiaxuan Huang, Shiqi Yuan, Yitong Ling, Hongtao Cheng, Shanyuan Tan, Anding Xu, Jun Lyu

Summary: This study found an association between decreased kidney function and an increased risk of dementia and reduced brain volumes. Specifically, the risk was highest in individuals with eGFR less than 30 ml/min/1.73 m(2) and ACR greater than 30 mg/mmol.

The relationship between lifestyles and sarcopenia-related traits: A two-sample Mendelian randomization study

Xiaoting Xia, Shate Xiang, Lijiangshan Hua, Qiuhua Sun, Rongyun Wang

Summary: This study found that smoking may be causally related to a lower risk of low hand grip strength, while alcohol consumption may increase the risk of low hand grip strength. There was no causal relationship between physical activity and sarcopenia-related traits.

Influence of caregivers' psychological well-being on the anxiety and depression of care recipients with dementia

Yeji Hwang, Jayeong Kim

Summary: This study examines the impact of caregivers' psychological well-being on the anxiety and depression of care recipients with dementia. The results show that when caregivers have a negative relationship with care recipients, a lower perception of the positive aspects of caregiving, or anxiety, care recipients are more likely to experience anxiety. Additionally, when caregivers have a greater perception of the negative aspects of caregiving or anxiety, care recipients are more likely to experience depression.

Improvement of mnemonic discrimination with acute light exercise is mediated by pupil-linked arousal in healthy older adults

Kazuya Suwabe, Ryuta Kuwamizu, Kazuki Hyodo, Toru Yoshikawa, Takeshi Otsuki, Asako Zempo-Miyaki, Michael A. Yassa, Hideaki Soya

Summary: Physical exercise has a positive impact on hippocampal memory decline with aging. Recent studies have shown that even light exercise can improve memory and this improvement is mediated by the ascending arousal system. This study aimed to investigate the effects of light-intensity exercise on hippocampal memory function in healthy older adults and found that pupil dilation during exercise played a role in the memory improvement.

Prediction of survival of persons with advanced dementia using the advanced dementia prognostic tool: A 2-year prospective study

Junjin Liu, Xuebing Li, Weihua Yu, Bei Liu, Wuhan Yu, Wenbo Zhang, Cheng Hu, Zhangjin Qin, Yu Chen, Yang Lu

Summary: This study evaluated the usefulness of the ADEPT score as a prognostic tool for estimating the 2-year survival rate of persons with advanced dementia in Chongqing, China. The results showed that the optimal threshold of the ADEPT score was 11.2, and it had a certain level of accuracy. However, further studies are needed to explore the nature of this relationship.

Doll therapy for improving behavior, psychology and cognition among older nursing home residents with dementia: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Yu Peng, Yang Liu, Zhongxian Guo, Yuhan Zhang, Liyan Sha, Xiaorun Wang, Yang He

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of doll therapy on behavior, psychology, and cognition among older nursing home residents with dementia. The findings revealed that doll therapy significantly improved behavioral and psychological disturbances, but did not show a significant difference in cognition. The use of empathy dolls and coordination with caregivers was found to be the most effective approach.

Development and evaluation of a concise nurse-driven non- pharmacological delirium reduction workflow for hospitalized patients: An interrupted time series study

James D. Harrison, Megan Rathfon, Sasha Binford, Jennifer Miranda, Sandra Oreper, Brian Holt, Stephanie E. Rogers

Summary: This study developed a concise nurse-driven workflow aimed at reducing delirium rates and length of stay for hospitalized adults. The workflow included evidence-based interventions during the day and at night, and was evaluated using an interrupted time series study design. The results showed a reduction in delirium rates, but not in the length of stay.

Frontoparietal function and underlying structure reflect capacity for motor skill acquisition during healthy aging

Sarah N. Kraeutner, Cristina Rubino, Jennifer K. Ferris, Shie Rinat, Lauren Penko, Larissa Chiu, Brian Greeley, Christina B. Jones, Beverley C. Larssen, Lara A. Boyd

Summary: This study examined the age-related changes in brain function and baseline brain structure that support motor skill acquisition. The findings showed that older adults experienced decreases in functional connectivity during motor skill acquisition, while younger adults experienced increases. Additionally, regardless of age group, lower baseline microstructure in a frontoparietal tract was associated with slower motor skill acquisition.

Diabetes mellitus increases risk of adverse drug reactions and death in hospitalised older people: the SENATOR trial

Anagha Chinmayee, Selvarani Subbarayan, Phyo Kyaw Myint, Antonio Cherubini, Alfonso J. Cruz-Jentoft, Mirko Petrovic, Adalsteinn Gudmundsson, Stephen Byrne, Denis O'Mahony, Roy L. Soiza

Summary: This study compared the severity and type of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) between older multimorbid patients with and without diabetes, and evaluated the impact of ADRs on mortality, rehospitalization, and length of stay. The results showed that diabetic patients had significantly higher rates of ADRs, particularly symptomatic hypoglycemia and acute kidney injury. They also had higher mortality, which was mediated by ADRs causing AKI.
