Trajectories of phenotypical frailty over a decade in young–old community-dwelling adults
BACKGROUND: Few studies have examined the frailty trajectories of young-old adults using Fried frailty phenotype. Dropouts due to death were rarely taken into account. This longitudinal study aimed to identify trajectories with and without adjustment for non-random attrition and to analyse related factors. METHODS: We used the first two samples of community-dwelling people in the Lausanne cohort 65+. Frailty phenotype was assessed at age 66-71 ye…
Older People’s Health-Related Behaviors
Baby-boomers might be more health-conscious than earlier birth cohorts, but limited evidence has been produced so far. To investigate such changes, this study compared health-related behaviors at age 65 to 70 among three successive five-year birth cohorts (pre-war: born 1934-1938; war: born 1939-1943 and baby-boom: born 1944-1948) representative of the community-dwelling population. Information about alcohol use, smoking, physical activity, and n…
Change in quality of life among community-dwelling older adults
Temporal changes in importance of quality of life domains
Determinants of quality of life in community-dwelling older adults
Physical activity in daily life is associated with lower adiposity values than doing weekly sports in Lc65+ cohort at baseline
In this population with high overweight and obesity prevalence, eating FV and PA were strongly negatively associated with financial difficulties and positively with education. Using stairs in daily life was more strongly negatively associated with adiposity than doing sports ≥ once/week
Self-Perception of Aging and Vulnerability to Adverse Outcomes at the Age of 65-70 Years
A negative self-perception of aging is an indicator of risk for future disability in ADL. Factors such as a low-economic status, living alone, multiple chronic medical conditions, and depressive feelings contribute to a negative self-perception of aging but do not explain the relationship with incident activities of daily living disability
Comparability of Health Care Responsiveness in Europe
Prevalence of Frailty in Middle-Aged and Older Community-Dwelling Europeans Living in 10 Countries
BACKGROUND: Frailty is an indicator of health status in old age. Its frequency has been described mainly for North America; comparable data from other countries are lacking. Here we report on the prevalence of frailty in 10 European countries included in a population-based survey. METHODS: Cross-sectional analysis of 18,227 randomly selected community-dwelling individuals 50 years of age and older, enrolled in the Survey of Health, Aging and Reti…
