Deepening Understanding of Oasis, a Norc-Based Program
Background As the Canadian population ages, supporting older adults’ desire to age in their homes and communities is vital. Oasis is an older adult-driven program implemented within naturally occurring retirement communities (NORCs) that fosters social connections to support aging in place. While housing partners provide space for such programs, their perspectives are underexplored. Objective This study examined housing partners’ experiences (lan…
Psychometric Properties of the 4-Metre Walk Test in the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging
Objectives This study assessed the construct validity, predictive validity, and responsiveness of the 4-metre walk test (4MWT) in community-dwelling older Canadians. Methods Baseline and 3-year follow-up data from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging were examined, including participants ≥ 65 years with 4MWT assessments. Secondary outcomes included physical and self-report measures and healthcare utilization (e.g., hospitalization and emergen…
Oasis Senior Supportive Living
Introduction: According to the World Health Organization, in 2019, there were one billion people aged 60 years and older. This number is projected to rise to 2.1 billion by 2050. However, older adults living in the community often experience loneliness and other health consequences. Our existing service model, which is heavily focused on disease and lacks the involvement of service users, is not adequately prepared to address the diverse social a…
Community Support Providers in the Social Networks of Older Adults Living in Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities (Norcs)
Introduction: The world population is aging, and most people prefer to stay in their homes for as long as possible. There is a growing number of naturally occurring retirement communities (NORCs)—unplanned neighborhoods or apartment buildings with a high proportion of older adults—in many countries such as Australia, Canada, and the USA. To experience healthy aging, older adults living in NORCs must be surrounded by a quality network encompassing…
Physical activity behaviour in middle-aged and older women and men
Increasing physical activity (PA) levels can decrease the burden of non-communicable diseases and improve functional ability in aging populations. Understanding current patterns in PA behaviours is essential for developing effective interventions. This study aimed to describe the usual PA by type of activity and amount in middle-aged and older adults. A descriptive cross-sectional analysis of baseline data from the Physical Activity Scale for the…
Oasis Aging in Place
Background: Over the next 20 years, Canada older adult population (aged 65 years old) is expected to grow by 68%. Older adults face isolation, loneliness, inadequate nutrition, and lack of physical activity which continue to be serious and growing threats to aging well in place. Addressing these challenges requires multifaceted approach involving service providers, community organizations, and people. To meet this need, an innovative model known …
Exploring brain glutathione and peripheral blood markers in posttraumatic stress disorder
We do not report altered GSH concentrations in the ACC or DLPFC in PTSD, however, systemic MMPs and MPO might be implicated in central processes and progression of PTSD. Future research should investigate these relationships in larger sample sizes
Provision and use of physical rehabilitation services for adults with disabilities in Rwanda
Data on rehabilitation service provision in Rwanda and most African countries are either non-existent or very limited. These data contain important information regarding the services provided and the people who used them across different health facilities (public versus private) and urban versus rural settings). To improve rehabilitation service provision, we first need to understand the current situation. These data are an important step to bett…
Family matters in Canada
The findings illustrated the complex nature of family homelessness in Ontario; that the interaction of multiple systems can put families at risk of homelessness. Findings from this study underscore the need for urgent housing protocols aimed at educating homeless families on how to navigate and understand the system, enhance their conflict resolution skills, and develop strategies beyond relocation to help them to cope with difficulties with hous…
The impact of care–recipient relationship type on health-related quality of life in community-dwelling older adults with dementia and their informal caregivers
Using confirmatory factor analysis and Rasch analysis to examine the dimensionality of The Patient Assessment of Care for Chronic Illness Care (Pacic)
Exploration of volunteers as health connectors within a multicomponent primary care‐based program supporting self‐management of diabetes and hypertension
Volunteers support health and social care worldwide, yet there is little research on integrating these unpaid community members into primary care. 'Health Teams Advancing Patient Experience, Strengthening Quality through Health Connectors for Diabetes Management' (Health TAPESTRY-HC-DM) integrates volunteer 'health connectors' into a community- and primary care-based program supporting client self-management in Hamilton, Canada. Volunteers suppor…
Assessing the measurement properties of a Frailty Index across the age spectrum in the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging
The FI is a feasible method to evaluate frailty and capture frailty-related heterogeneity in populations aged 45-85 years. In this study, the FI had good construct validity in middle-aged and older adults, showing expected correlations with sociodemographic factors consistently across age groups. This method can be easily reproduced in similar datasets, making the FI a generalisable instrument
