Summary: Subsidized senior housing (SSH) is crucial for supporting healthy aging among vulnerable older adults, but there has been limited progress in research and development in this field. This scoping review examined 61 articles and identified trends in research on topics such as racial and ethnic minorities, cognitive impairment among SSH residents, and collaborative partnerships in SSH. More than half of the studies used quantitative methods, while the rest used qualitative or mixed methods. Further longitudinal or causal research is needed to expand empirical knowledge on SSH.

Decreased serum creatinine to cystatin C ratio is associated with low tongue pressure

Yuji Komorita, Hitoshi Ide, Masahito Yoshinari, Yuko Ohta, Ikuo Nakamichi, Ritsuko Fujisawa, Wataru Fujii, Masayo Fukuhara

The quality of family relationships in dementia: Mixed methods to unravel mixed feelings

Maria J. Marques, Manuel Goncalves-Pereira, Marjolein de Vugt, Frans Verhey, Bob Woods

Summary: This study aimed to understand the role of different relationship domains in the health and quality of life outcomes for people with dementia and their families. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were used to analyze longitudinal data from 66 dyads of Portuguese community-dwelling people with dementia and their primary carers. The findings showed that certain domains of relationship quality are affected in different ways, with changes occurring at different stages. The perspectives of people with dementia and their carers often led to tension, and complex experiences involving ambivalence were found to be more difficult to manage than negative feelings alone. Informal support from extended family and formal services' assistance were identified as facilitating positive appraisal of the relationship.
