Home- and community-based service utilization and loneliness among older adults in China
Introduction: Loneliness is a major public health concern among older adults. Home- and community-based services (HCBS) are increasingly promoted to support aging in place, yet evidence on their relationship with loneliness remains limited in China, particularly among vulnerable subgroups such as older adults with histories of elder abuse. Theory: Drawing on trauma theory, this study considers elder abuse as a contextual factor that may alter how…

Frailty status and medication use in community-dwelling older patients with polypharmacy
Background and Objective: Frailty is a concept that refers to the deterioration of several organ systems and is characterized by the inability to provide an adequate response to stressors. While mainly used in the field of geriatrics, the concept is extending to other disciplines. Frail older people are more at risk for adverse drug reactions and also more often use potentially inappropriate medication, suggesting that they could benefit the most…
World guidelines for falls prevention and management for older adults
BACKGROUND: falls and fall-related injuries are common in older adults, have negative effects on functional independence and quality of life and are associated with increased morbidity, mortality and health related costs. 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…
Perceived availability of home‐ and community‐based services and self‐reported depression among Chinese older adults
Few studies have assessed the association between perceived availability of home- and community-based services (HCBSs) and self-reported depression among Chinese older adults, which the present study attempts to rectify. This cross-sectional study enrolled 11,941 participants aged 65 and older from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey 2018 wave. The 10-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD-10) was used to evalu…
Relations of the neighbourhood socio-economic and physical environment with 3-year changes in health-related quality of life among community-dwelling older adults in Belgium
Designing Supportive Soundscapes for Nursing Home Residents with Dementia
Sound and its resulting soundscape is a major appraisal component of the living environment. Where environmental sounds (e.g., outdoor traffic sounds) are often perceived as negative, a soundscape (e.g., containing natural sounds) can also have a positive effect on health and well-being. This supportive effect of a soundscape is getting increasing attention for use in practice. This paper addresses the design of a supportive sonic environment for…
