Place and brain health
BACKGROUND: Dementia prevention is increasingly conceptualised as an exposome issue, reflecting life course eco-psychosocial exposures. For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia, these exposures can be articulated through the Social and Emotional Wellbeing (SEWB) framework and Indigenous conceptualisations of Place. However, dementia research and policy often rely on spatial and socioeconomic proxies that overlook Place-based…
A critical realist analysis of digital health screening for older people in prison
The growing cohort of older people (50+) in Australian prisons have high rates of physical, psychosocial and cognitive conditions, with evidence that many of these remain underdiagnosed or undetected. It is necessary to better identify the priority health and social needs of older people in prison to ensure a safe, equitable and cost-effective prison health system. Increased digital health screening in prison is seen as one promising approach to …
Privileging the spirit, voices, and culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in dementia care
Data show that many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples experiencing dementia receive services at mainstream health organizations and from non-Indigenous health care providers. It is imperative that non-Indigenous health care providers are educated about culturally respectful and safe care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples with dementia. The purpose of this research was to partner with Aboriginal Elders to co-design and …
Process evaluation of a co-designed best practice model of dementia care in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander primary care
Optimising brain health for older Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples is important given the high rates of cognitive impairment and dementia (CI/D) in this population. To achieve this, effective models of care for the primary care setting are needed. This paper reports on the process evaluation of a stepped-wedge cluster randomised controlled trial conducted with 12 Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services (ACCHSs) across four st…
Looking out across the front yard
There was interest and engagement in the concept of frailty by Aboriginal older adults and approaches to frailty that extend beyond the physical to address cognitive, psychosocial, cultural and spiritual domains are likely to be more acceptable to this population. Culture and community connectivity are essential elements in preventing and alleviating frailty and have wider positive implications for Aboriginal health and wellbeing. Existing tools …
Accelerated aging in people experiencing homelessness
Introduction: Older people experiencing homelessness (PEH) are a rapidly growing population at risk of accelerated aging and the early onset of geriatric conditions. One construct that shows promise in predicting age-related decline is frailty. Better understanding the rates and causes of frailty in PEH may improve understanding of its antecedents, thereby facilitating more targeted health and aged care service interventions. The aim of this stud…
Frailty in Indigenous Populations
Background: Indigenous populations experience high rates of age-related illness when compared to their non-Indigenous counterparts. Frailty is a challenging expression of aging and an important public health priority. The purpose of this review was to map what the existing literature reports around frailty in Indigenous populations and to highlight the current gaps in frailty research within the Indigenous landscape. Method: Scoping review of Eng…

Older Aboriginal Australians’ Health Concerns and Preferences for Healthy Ageing Programs
While there is strong evidence of the need for healthy ageing programs for older Aboriginal Australians, few are available. It is important to understand older Aboriginal Australians' perspectives on healthy ageing in order to co-design culturally-appropriate programs, including views on technology use in this context. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 34 Aboriginal Australians aged 50 years and older from regional and urban communit…
Depression, Suicidal Behaviour, and Mental Disorders in Older Aboriginal Australians
Aboriginal Australians experience higher levels of psychological distress, which may develop from the long-term sequelae of social determinants and adversities in early and mid-life. There is little evidence available on the impact of these on the mental health of older Aboriginal Australians. This study enrolled 336 Aboriginal Australian participants over 60 years from 5 major urban and regional areas in NSW, utilizing a structured interview on …
