Multimorbidity, health and aging in Canada and Australia: a tale of two countries
BMC Geriatrics - Tập 16 - Trang 1-13 - 2016
Multimorbidity has been recognized as a major public health issue, negatively affecting health-related quality of life, including physical, functional, mental, emotional, and social domains, as well as increasing health care utilization. This exploratory study examines selected health outcomes associated with multimorbidity across older age groups/cohorts and gender, comparing Canada and Australia......
Effects of depression, dementia and delirium on activities of daily living in elderly patients after discharge
BMC Geriatrics - Tập 19 - Trang 1-8 - 2019
The three geriatric conditions, depression, dementia and delirium (3D’s), are common among hospitalized older patients and often lead to impairments of activities of daily living. The aim of this study is to explore the impact of depression, dementia and delirium on activities of daily living (ADLs) during and after hospitalization. A prospective cohort study was conducted between 2012 and 2013 in......
Neuron-specific enolase in hypertension patients with acute ischemic stroke and its value forecasting long-term functional outcomes
BMC Geriatrics - Tập 23 - Trang 1-10 - 2023
Neuron Specific Enolase (NSE), a neuro-biochemical protein marker, may correlate with the prognosis of stroke patients. Moreover, hypertension is the most common comorbidities in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS), and the relationship between NSE levels and long-term functional outcomes in such an increasingly large population is unclear. The aim of the study was to investigate the relatio......
A national intervention to support frail older adults in primary care: a protocol for an adapted implementation framework
BMC Geriatrics - Tập 21 - Trang 1-12 - 2021
Older Canadians are high users of health care services, however the health care system is not well-designed to meet the complex needs of many older adults. Older persons often look to their primary care practitioners to assess their needs and coordinate their care. The intervention seeks to improve primary care for older persons living with frailty and will be implemented in six primary care clini......
Comparison of selected prooxidant-antioxidant balance and bone metabolism indicators and BDNF levels between older women with different levels of physical activity
BMC Geriatrics - Tập 23 - Trang 1-10 - 2023
Given a lack of studies precisely indicating how many steps elderly people should take daily for their antioxidant defence, bone metabolism, and cognitive abilities to improve, our study set out to compare the selected antioxidant, prooxidant, bone turnover, and BDNF indicators between elderly women differing in physical activity (PA) measured by the daily number of steps. The PA levels of 62 wome......
Concurrent use of alcohol interactive medications and alcohol in older adults: a systematic review of prevalence and associated adverse outcomes
BMC Geriatrics - Tập 17 - Trang 1-16 - 2017
Older adults are susceptible to adverse effects from the concurrent use of medications and alcohol. The aim of this study was to systematically review the prevalence of concurrent use of alcohol and alcohol-interactive (AI) medicines in older adults and associated adverse outcomes. A systematic search was performed using MEDLINE (PubMed), Embase, Scopus and Web of Science (January 1990 to June 201......
Association between single nucleotide polymorphism of rs1937 in TFAM gene and longevity among the elderly Chinese population: based on the CLHLS study
BMC Geriatrics - - 2022
To investigate whether the mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) rs1937 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is associated with longevity. We conducted a case-control study among Chinese long-lived individuals (≥90 years). Data were obtained on 3294 participants who were able to voluntarily provided a saliva sample during 2008–2009 from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHL......
A qualitative study protocol of ageing carers’ caregiving experiences and their planning for continuation of care for their immediate family members with intellectual disability
BMC Geriatrics - Tập 17 - Trang 1-6 - 2017
Understanding the difficulties and needs of the family carers in taking care of a person with ID can facilitate the development of appropriate intervention programmes and services to strengthen their caring capacity and empower them to continue with their caring roles. This study aims to explore ageing family carers’ caregiving experiences and the plans they have to provide care for themselves and......
Decline of instrumental activities of daily living is a risk factor for nutritional deterioration in older adults: a prospective cohort studyAbstract
Background
The association between functional capacity and the subsequent risk of nutritional deterioration is yet to be understood. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the relationship between functional capacity, comprising instrumental activities of daily living (IADL), intellectu... ...
