Outdoor mobility in senior housing residents and community-dwelling older people in different population density areas
The location of a senior house is meaningful and optimal for outdoor mobility when within easy reach but not too near amenities. Poorer outdoor mobility among senior housing residents may reflect their adjustment to a new home environment and life situation, e.g., becoming a widow
Social Mobility and Health-Related Quality of Life Trajectory Classes Among Older Women and Men
Objectives Changes in socioeconomic status (SES) during life may impact health in old age. We investigated whether social mobility and childhood and adulthood SES are associated with trajectories of health-related quality of life (HrQoL) over a 17-year period. Methods We used data from the Helsinki Birth Cohort Study ( n = 2003, 46% men, mean age 61.5 years). Social mobility was derived from childhood SES, obtained from healthcare records, and re…
Active Aging in Senior Housing Residents and Community-Dwelling Older Adults
Despite the social and supporting environment, senior housing residents' possibilities for leading an active life seem to be compromised, potentially leading to an unmet activity need
Do the integrated theories of self-determination and planned behavior explain the change in active life engagement following a motivational counseling intervention among older people
The theoretical integrated model did not account for the change in active life engagement. The modified integrated model revealed significant change paths, highlighting autonomous motivation and attitudes as influential change constructs. For future intervention design, the modified integrated model appears useful in identifying behavior change pathways for older adults
Changes in older people’s quality of life in the Covid-19 era
Finnish older people's QoL was not affected as much as expected amid the pandemic, although some population groups were, however, more susceptible to the negative effects of the pandemic on QoL-related factors. Results imply that various socio-demographic features may shape the effects of a global pandemic and its control measures on wellbeing
Effects of an Individualized Active Aging Counseling Intervention on Mobility and Physical Activity
Objectives: The aim of this study was to report preplanned secondary analyses of the effects of a 12-month individualized active aging counseling intervention on six mobility and physical activity outcomes. Methods: A two-arm, single-blinded randomized controlled trial was conducted among 75- and 80-year-old community-dwelling people. The intervention group (IG, n = 101) received counseling aimed at increasing self-selected, primarily out-of-home…
Assimilative and Accommodative Coping and Older People’s Leisure Activities
Objectives: Assimilative and accommodative coping strategies have hardly been studied in relation to leisure activities in old age. We investigated whether tenacious goal pursuit (TGP) and flexible goal adjustment (FGA) influence the association between physical performance and participation in leisure activities. Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted among 187 community-dwelling people aged 79 to 93 years. TGP, FGA, and leisure activ…
Active aging – resilience and external support as modifiers of the disablement outcome
The current study will renew research on positive gerontology through the novel approach to active aging and by suggesting new biomarkers of resilience and active aging. Therefore, high interdisciplinary impact is expected. This cross-sectional study will not provide knowledge on temporal order of events or causality, but an innovative cross-sectional dataset provides opportunities for emergence of novel creative hypotheses and theories
