Older Adults' Experiences and Expectations of Doctor–Patient Interactions During Early Hospital Care
BACKGROUND: 'People-centered care' is one of the World Health Organization's six defining features of quality care and recognizes the importance of tailoring healthcare to individual needs. This is particularly important for older patients who are more vulnerable to complications during their hospitalization. The initial medical assessment in hospital is a vital part of any admission, however, the older patient's experience of this is not well un…
Health-Related Quality of Life among Older Adults with Dementia Living in Vietnamese Nursing Homes
Better understanding of the quality of life among nursing home residents with dementia is important for developing interventions. The objectives of this cross-sectional study were to examine factors associated with poor health-related quality of life in older people with dementia living in nursing homes in Hanoi, Vietnam. In-person interviews were conducted with 140 adults who were 60 years and older with dementia, and information about their qua…
Intra-generational social mobility and mortality among older men in the Concord Health and Ageing in Men Project
These findings suggest cumulative and persistent exposure to disadvantaged socioeconomic conditions across the life-course, rather than social mobility, is associated with increased mortality. For each stage of the life-course, addressing socioeconomic disadvantage may reduce inequities in mortality
Associations between the composition of functional tooth units and nutrient intake in older men
Objective: Inadequate nutrient intakes have been linked with poor dentition in older adults. The aim of this study was to investigate the associations between the composition of functional tooth units (FTU) and nutrient intakes in older men. Design: A cross-sectional study with a standardised validated diet history assessment and comprehensive oral health assessments. FTU were categorised by dentition type: (i) Group A (Natural FTU Only), (ii) Gr…
Associations between nutrient intakes and dietary patterns with different sarcopenia definitions in older Australian men
Objective: To assess the associations between nutrient intake and dietary patterns with different sarcopenia definitions in older men. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Sarcopenia was defined using the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH), the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP) and the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People 2 (EWGSOP2). Dietary adequacy of fourteen nutrients was as…
Changes in micronutrient intake and factors associated with this change among older Australian men
Objectives: To examine changes in micronutrient intake over 3 years and identify any associations between socio-economic, health, lifestyle and meal-related factors and these changes in micronutrient intakes among older men. Design: Prospective study. Setting: Dietary adequacy of individual micronutrient was compared to the estimated average requirement of the nutrient reference values (NRV). Attainment of the NRV for twelve micronutrients was in…
Contribution of psychosocial factors to socioeconomic inequalities in mortality among older Australian men
Psychosocial factors may account for up to one-third of SES inequalities in deaths from all and specific causes (except cancer mortality). Our findings suggest that interventional studies targeting social relationships and/or psychological distress in older men aiming to reduce socioeconomic inequalities in mortality are warranted
Mortality Paradox of Older Italian-Born Men in Australia
Decision-Making Preferences and Deprescribing
This study provides a novel typology to describe differences between older people who are happy to take multiple medicines, and those who are open to deprescribing. To enable shared decision-making, prescribers need to adapt their communication about polypharmacy based on their patients' attitudes to medicines and preferences for involvement in decisions
Subjective Social Support in Older Male Italian-Born Immigrants in Australia
Prevalence and correlates of physical disability and functional limitation among community dwelling older people in rural Malaysia, a middle income country
The prevalence of physical disability and functional limitation among older Malaysians appears to be much higher than in developed countries but is comparable to developing countries. Associations with socio-demographic and other health related variables were consistent with other studies
