Current guidelines are inconsistent, with no up-to-date, globally applicable ones present. OBJECTIVES: to create a set of evidence- and expert consensus-based falls prevention and management recommendations applicable to older a…
Caring for the caregiver
Policies supporting caregivers (“caregiver policies”) are limited in the extent to which they meet the needs of those who care for others. Where policies do exist, they focus on relieving the burdens associated with caring or the needs of the person they care for, rather than consider the holistic needs of the caregiver that would enable them to flourish. We argue that the established approach to caregiver policies reflects a policy failure, requ…
Implementing care for healthy ageing
The WHO concept of Healthy Ageing (ie, the process of developing and maintaining the functional ability that enables well-being in older age) has initiated a global discussion about the need for shifting paradigms to reorient health and social services towards person-centred and coordinated models of care. In particular, the integration of health and social care services is critical to provide the basis for comprehensive information sharing and s…

METHODS: A total of 60 participants (60-80 y.o.) were randomly allocated into a dual-task training group with progression from variable to fixed priority (experimental group) or into a dual-task training g…
How Do Older Adults Living in the Community in Brazil Perceive Walkability in the Context of Sidewalks
Our goal was to explore older adults' views on walkability on sidewalks. An online survey was conducted based on the Active Design framework and participants and experts committee analyzed 22 photographs about the quality of sidewalks for walking. The top barriers reported by older adults were poor sidewalk condition and lack of accessibility. Safety and good accessibility were identified as facilitators for a positive walking experience. There w…
Impact of Covid-19 Pandemic on Life-Space Mobility of Older Adults Living in Brazil

A amostra foi composta por 338 cuidadores selecionados por dois itens do Elders Life Stress Inventory, versão brasileira. A partir de sorteio aleatório, foi compo…
Gait speed correlates in a multiracial population of community-dwelling older adults living in Brazil
A multiracial population of older adults living in a developing country showed a similar mean gait speed to that observed in previously studied populations. The results suggest that low physical activity, urinary incontinence and high concern about falling should not be neglected and may help identify those who might benefit from early intervention
Impacto funcional da internação hospitalar de pacientes idosos
OBJETIVO: Descrever as alterações da capacidade funcional de idosos durante a internação hospitalar e o grau de associação dessas alterações na ocasião da alta hospitalar a variáveis sociodemográficas e clínicas. MÉTODOS: Foram estudados 94 pacientes internados em enfermaria geriátrico gerontológica de um hospital escola, com idades entre 65 e 94 anos. A primeira avaliação da capacidade funcional (número de atividades cotidianas comprometidas) do…
Fatores associados a quedas em uma coorte de idosos residentes na comunidade
OBJETIVO: Identificar fatores associados a quedas e a quedas recorrentes em idosos vivendo na comunidade, determinando o risco relativo de cada fator como preditor para quedas.
