Older Adults’ Perspectives on Participating in a Synchronous Online Exercise Program: Qualitative Study

Older Adults’ Perspectives on Participating in a Synchronous Online Exercise Program: Qualitative Study

Physical activity (PA) guidelines are not met by ≈85% of older adults in Canada [1,2]. The Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology recommends that older adults participate in 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous PA and 2 bouts of strengthening exercise each week [3], similar to the World Health Organization guidelines [4].

Feasibility of a Cinematic–Virtual Reality Program Educating Health Professional Students About the Complexity of Geriatric Care: Pilot Pre-Post Study

Feasibility of a Cinematic–Virtual Reality Program Educating Health Professional Students About the Complexity of Geriatric Care: Pilot Pre-Post Study

Over the next 3 decades, the number of Americans aged 65 and older is projected to increase from 58 million in 2022 to 82 million in 2050, representing a 47% increase [1]. With this demographic shift, more older adults will be living with chronic conditions. According to the National Council on Aging, 94.9% of adults aged 60 years and older have at least one chronic condition and 78.7% have two or more [2].

A Comparison of Patient and Provider Perspectives on an Electronic Health Record–Based Discharge Communication Tool: Survey Study

A Comparison of Patient and Provider Perspectives on an Electronic Health Record–Based Discharge Communication Tool: Survey Study

However, there is a scarcity of research comparing the perspectives of older adult patients and health care providers with concordance measures for a large-scale technology-based discharge communication tool. Measuring and comparing the alignment between patient and provider perspectives enables the unveiling of true shared understanding in terms of discharge education [14].

Older Adults’ Experiences With an Online Survey

Older Adults’ Experiences With an Online Survey

Older adults are underrepresented in research, often due to age-related biases and stringent exclusion criteria; this limits generalizability and leaves knowledge gaps [1]. The increasing prevalence of online research has the potential to increase older adult participation, given the rising internet use among this demographic [2].

Major Adverse Kidney Events in Hospitalized Older Patients With Acute Kidney Injury: Machine Learning–Based Model Development and Validation Study

Major Adverse Kidney Events in Hospitalized Older Patients With Acute Kidney Injury: Machine Learning–Based Model Development and Validation Study

AKI is common in older individuals, associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and health care costs [5-7]. The prevalence of multiple comorbidities as well as age-related changes in the kidneys, systemic vasculature, and immune system render older patients more susceptible to kidney damage and less likely to recover [5,8].

The Needs and Experiences of People With Early-Stage Dementia Using an Application for Cognitive and Physical Activation in Germany: Qualitative Study

The Needs and Experiences of People With Early-Stage Dementia Using an Application for Cognitive and Physical Activation in Germany: Qualitative Study

Dementia is a leading cause of disability and care dependency among older adults worldwide [1]. Currently, around 50 million people are living with dementia; projections indicate that dementia prevalence will increase to 152 million by 2050 [2]. Consequently, the demand for support for people with dementia is increasing. This may become a key challenge due to the simultaneous decrease in caregiving capacity.

Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory–Based Detection of Adverse Drug Reaction Posts Using Korean Social Networking Services Data: Deep Learning Approaches

Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory–Based Detection of Adverse Drug Reaction Posts Using Korean Social Networking Services Data: Deep Learning Approaches

A previous study [10] calculated the Beers Criteria drug prescription and the incidence of side effects in persons aged 65 years or older in Korea. The top 3 drugs (metoclopramide, chlorpheniramine, and ketoprofen) were selected based on prescriptions and side effects reported in the clinical environment of Konyang University Hospital [11]. Therefore, the focus of this study was on ketoprofen.

Assessing the Impact of Frailty on Infection Risk in Older Adults: Prospective Observational Cohort Study

Assessing the Impact of Frailty on Infection Risk in Older Adults: Prospective Observational Cohort Study

Frail older people are more likely to be infected with fungi, bacteria, and viruses than the general population [12-14]. Frailty has been reported to affect the susceptibility and severity of pneumonia in people older than 65 years of age and is strongly associated with their higher 1-year mortality [15,16].

Personality and Health-Related Quality of Life of Older Chinese Adults: Cross-Sectional Study and Moderated Mediation Model Analysis

Personality and Health-Related Quality of Life of Older Chinese Adults: Cross-Sectional Study and Moderated Mediation Model Analysis

The World Health Organization has predicted that the number of people older than 60 years will increase to 2 billion by 2050, with 80% living in low- and middle-income countries [1]. With the acceleration of population aging and the increase in the number of older adults, research on how to increase the well-being of the older population has become a major concern and a pressing social task.

Preventing Cognitive Decline in Older Latino Adults With HIV Through a Culturally Tailored Health Promotion Intervention: Protocol for a Single-Arm Pilot Trial

Preventing Cognitive Decline in Older Latino Adults With HIV Through a Culturally Tailored Health Promotion Intervention: Protocol for a Single-Arm Pilot Trial

In a cross-sectional study of middle-aged and older veterans with HIV, Justice et al [24] found a high prevalence of cognitive impairments (eg, speed of processing, memory). Furthermore, these cognitive challenges are more acutely exacerbated among older adults with unsuppressed viral load [25] and may even present as early as 1-year post-HIV acquisition [26-29].
