Exploring frailty in Brazil
The Brazilian aging population will challenge publicly funded health services, on which most Brazilians rely. The country must prepare for aging-associated health challenges such as frailty. We used data from the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSI-Brazil) to generate a standardized Frailty Index (FI), assess frailty levels among this population, and supply reliable and nationwide information. In total, 9,901 adults aged 50 years or older…
Patterns of Muscle-Related Risk Factors for Sarcopenia in Older Mexican Women
Early detriment in the muscle mass quantity, quality, and functionality, determined by calf circumference (CC), phase angle (PA), gait time (GT), and grip strength (GSt), may be considered a risk factor for sarcopenia. Patterns derived from these parameters could timely identify an early stage of this disease. Thus, the present work aims to identify those patterns of muscle-related parameters and their association with sarcopenia in a cohort of o…
Vulnerability as a palimpsest
Vulnerability is a concept associated with the effects of social inequities to access health care services. On a hospital level, vulnerable populations must be identified and favored over others. The aims of this study were the analysis of the conceptions and practices of social workers regarding vulnerable patients, and the identification of theoretical elements of vulnerability given by academics. Hospital ethnography and a focus group were imp…
Polyvictimization and Recurrent Falling in Older Ecuadorian Adults
Objective: To assess depressive symptoms as a mediator in the association between polyvictimization and recurrent falling. Methods: Using data from the Salud, Bienestar y Envejecimiento (Health, Well-being, and Aging) Ecuador Study, we analyzed community-dwelling adults 60 years and older ( n = 5227). Recurrent falling was determined as ≥2 falls during the prior 12 months. Polyvictimization was determined as a history of ≥2 types of abuse. The me…
Screening intrinsic capacity and its epidemiological characterization
Objective. To describe the levels of intrinsic capacity and those factors related to its decline in Mexican older adults, using the Mexican Health and Aging Study. Methods. This is a cross-sectional secondary analysis of the 2015 data of the Mexican Health and Aging Study, including adults aged 50 years and above. Selected questions were included to represent each domain of intrinsic capacity screening: cognition, depression, hearing, vision, ano…
Covid-19 related mortality in older adults
Objective. The aim of this study is to describe the mortality among older adults in the first wave of COVID-19 in Colombia and Mexico. Methods. This is an observational, prospective study on data obtained from open data sets that are publicly available on the websites of the health ministries of the respective countries. COVID-19 cases, age, sex, date to mortality, and mortality itself were analyzed with Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regressions. R…

Collective violence and the health of the elderly
Objective. To describe the association between collective violence and the health of older adults in Mexico. Methods. The data analyzed were taken from a Mexican population-based national survey of health and nutrition that included a representative sample of adults over 60 years of age and from an index of violence for each of the states of Mexico that was compiled by a major research center. Five of the most common geriatric ailments (weight lo…
Association of Healthy Habits Beliefs and Mortality in Older Adults
Although the mechanism is not completely clear, according to our results, believing that healthy habits can improve health was associated with lower rates of mortality. Further research should elucidate potential strategies for changing beliefs in older adults with the goal of improving their overall health
Frailty and food insecurity in older adults
Objective The objective of the current work was to determine the association between food insecurity and frailty in older adults, within the context of a country with accelerated ageing and nutritional problems. Design Cross-sectional analysis of a representative nationwide survey on health and nutrition. Setting Mexican nationwide survey. Subjects A sample of 7108 adults aged 60 years or older living in communities, representative of Mexican old…
