Estimating the burden of dementia and parkinsonism through a novel identification algorithm based on healthcare administrative data
Introduction: Neurological disorders (ND), particularly dementia and parkinsonism, are major public health challenges in aging populations. Estimating their prevalence and incidence is essential for healthcare resource planning and targeted interventions. This study aims to estimate the burden of these conditions in the Marche region of Italy, using a novel identification approach applied to administrative healthcare data. Methods: A cross-sectio…
A study protocol for identifying aging trajectories toward chronic neurodegenerative diseases by means of Marche regional administrative databases – TREND project
Background: People are living longer but an increasing number of older people experience chronicity and disability in the latest years of their life. The Marche region is one of the Italian regions where people live the longest lives; therefore, the number of people with age-related chronic diseases is expected to be at least similar, if not higher, compared to the rest of Italy. The identification of the aging trajectories is of huge interest in…
Occurrence of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis in Italy
The aim of the study was to evaluate the trend in the incidence of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in a real-world setting of the Marche region, a region of Central Italy, between 2014 and 2019. This observational prospective study was based on administrative databases of hospital discharges and drug prescriptions. All adult residents in the Marche Region with a first prescription of antifibrotic drugs, or a first hospitalization with a diagn…
The outdoor mobility and leisure activities of older people in five European countries
Many gerontological studies have dealt with the leisure activities of older people and they have generated many important theories. Although outdoor activities and mobility promote good health in old age, both decrease with increasing age as people lose physical and mental functions. This paper examines the outdoor and indoor leisure activities of 3,950 older adults and their variations by personal and environmental characteristics in Germany, Fi…
