Understanding barriers and enablers to participation in a proposed online lifestyle intervention for older adults with age-related macular degeneration to guide programme implementation
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a blinding condition associated with depression, loneliness and unhealthy lifestyle behaviours which drives AMD progression. We have proposed the first online lifestyle intervention for AMD, called Movement, Interaction and Nutrition for Greater Lifestyles in the Elderly (MINGLE) to promote positive lifestyle changes and reduce loneliness. This qualitative grounded-theory study explored enablers and barri…
Genome-wide analysis identifies genetic effects on reproductive success and ongoing natural selection at the Fads locus
Health literacy and recovery following a non-catastrophic road traffic injury
A wide spectrum of factors including claim status, pre-injury and psychological measures were associated with low HL in injured individuals. Our findings suggest that targeting low HL could help improve recovery outcomes after non-catastrophic injury
Impacts of injury severity on long-term outcomes following motor vehicle crashes
Australia New Zealand Clinical trial registry identification number - ACTRN12613000889752
Comparison of physical and psychological health outcomes for motorcyclists and other road users after land transport crashes
Road user types differ in important characteristics, including pre-injury health status and recovery after injury. As vulnerable road users experiencing transport crash and considering their higher initial injury severity, the degree of recovery among motorcyclists compared with other user types is remarkable and unexplained. Health and recovery outcomes after land-transport crashes is least favourable among vehicle occupants despite their higher…
Associations Between Vision, Hearing, and Olfactory Impairment With Handgrip Strength
Objectives: We aimed to assess the cross-sectional associations between sensory impairments (vision, hearing, and/or olfactory loss) and handgrip strength. Method: In the Blue Mountains Eye Study, 947 participants aged 65+ years had handgrip strength measured using a dynamometer. Visual impairment was defined as visual acuity 25 dBHL (500-4,000 Hz). Olfaction was measured using the San Diego Odor Identification Test. Results: Marginally significa…
Prevalence and psychometric screening for the detection of major depressive disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder in adults injured in a motor vehicle crash who are engaged in compensation
Clinical Trials registration number: ANZCTR - ACTRN12615000326594 (9th April 2015)
Describing and comparing the characteristics of injured bicyclists and other injured road users
Minor cycling injuries were a relatively common cause of mild-moderate injury presentations to metro emergency departments. A wide spectrum of socio-demographic-, pre-injury-, and crash-related characteristics were related to cycling injuries
Predictors of time to claim closure following a non-catastrophic injury sustained in a motor vehicle crash
Around a third of claimants with a minor injury had not settled by 24 months. Health-related factors and lawyer involvement independently influenced time to claim closure
Dual Sensory Impairment and Hearing Aid Use Among Clients Attending Low-Vision Services in Australia
Four in five low-vision clients experience hearing impairment, and many have unmet needs. New models of sensory assessment that take account of hearing and vision are needed to support early detection and timely rehabilitation for DSI
Relationship between breast-feeding and adiposity in infants and pre-school children
Objectives We aimed to establish associations of duration of breast-feeding with mean BMI and waist circumference, as well as the likelihood of being overweight/obese, during early childhood. Design Cross-sectional, population-based study. Height, weight and waist circumference were measured and BMI calculated. Interviewer-administered questionnaire determined whether the child was ever breast-fed and the duration of breast-feeding. Setting Sydne…
Dual Sensory Impairment in Older Age
Objectives: Hearing and visual impairments are commonly viewed separately in research and service provision, but they often occur together as dual sensory impairment or DSI in older populations. This article examines the frequency and effects of DSI in older age and notes limitations in the evidence. Methods: Search of electronic databases of published papers. Results: DSI diminishes communication and well-being and can cause social isolation, de…
Evaluating a Dichotomized Measure of Self-Reported Hearing Loss Against Gold Standard Audiometry
Self-report of hearing loss is insensitive to age effects and does not provide a reliable basis for estimating prevalence of age-related hearing loss, although may indicate perceived hearing disability
Prevalence and Neurodegenerative or Other Associations With Olfactory Impairment in an Older Community
Over one in four older persons had olfactory impairment. The prevalence was higher in men, increased with age and decreasing BMI, and was higher among persons with Parkinson's disease and cognitive impairment
