L’espérance de vie des personnes porteuses d’une trisomie 21 ne cesse de s’accroître, alors qu’elles connaissent un vieillissement précoce marqué par des altérations cognitives dès 35-40 ans.

De nombreuses études suggèrent que la présence d’animaux auprès des personnes âgées vivant en institution procure de nombreux bénéfices psychologiques, sociaux et physiques. Cependant, cette approche se heurte parfois à des difficultés organisationnelles ou à des inquiétudes. Afin de faciliter la mise en place d’un projet d’accueil d’un animal, le présent article détaille les étapes ayant abouti à l’adoption d’un chat prénommé Jovi par les réside…
Successful ageing and multi-dimensional poverty
This study investigated the determinants of Successful Ageing (SA) in a sample of 4,151 Peruvians aged between 65 and 80 years and living in poverty. A key contribution of this study is to combine the conceptual appeal of SA to measure wellbeing in old age with the multi-dimensional poverty counting approach developed in the economic literature. This setting allows for moving beyond the dichotomy of successful and usual ageing to take advantage o…
