The prevalence and correlates of frailty in older people dwelling in rural communities are unknown. Methods: We examined frailty, as defined by the Korean Geriatric Society, and social correlates among rural communitydwelling older adults (n=419) aged 65 or older. Results: The prevalence of frailty and prefrailty was 11.5% and 38.7%, respectively. Among eight frailty criteria, the prevalence of multiple medications was highest (57.3%), while self-rated health as “unhealthy” was the second highest (45.1%). In contrast, the prevalence of exhaustion was the lowest (10%) among the eight frailty criteria. The prevalence of frailty was 12.6% among women and 6.3% among men (p=0.02). Uneducated older adults showed a significantly higher prevalence of frailty (13.1%) than any other educational groups (6.3-9.2%). In addition, older adults with high social support showed lower frailty than the other groups. After adjustment for other factors; however, a lack of social support (odds ratio for frailty, 1.98; 95% confidence interval, 1.14-3.44) was associated with increased odds of frailty. Conclusion: Frailty is not uncommon among rural community-dwelling old men and women in Korea. In the rural community, females with a lack of social support might be at a higher risk of frailty, as those were two of the strongest risk factors discovered in this study. This study calls for more interest and concern for the frail older adults with a lack of social support in rural communities.","PeriodicalId":191447,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Korean Geriatrics Society","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127572836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The prevalence of this condition varies according to the reference range for TSH and geographic or demographic factors, but is common in the elderly and in women. Subclinical thyroid dysfunction has various causes. Thus, careful clinical assessment is needed. Subclinical thyroid dysfunction can be likely to progress to overt thyroid disease and be associated with various health outcomes. However, to date, supporting data are lacking and levels of evidence for the associations are different. Although the management of subclinical thyroid dysfunction is controversial, recommendations are based on the degree to which TSH levels have deviated from normal, age, symptoms, and underlying comorbidities. Further studies are needed to inform how to best care for the elderly with subclinical thyroid dysfunction.","PeriodicalId":191447,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Korean Geriatrics Society","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127091175","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there has been much concern about the unjustified exclusion of the older adults in clinical trials. The purpose of this study was to assess ageism in clinical trials and to find solution to any discovered discrimination. Methods: An online questionnaire was completed by 1,650 experts including doctors, pharmaceutical staff, and contract research organization members. An offline inquiry was conducted by 250 experienced professors from a single tertiary hospital and other allied professions. The questions covered the current state of elderly participation, possible reasons for under-representation, and plans for its solution. Results: Among 1,900 subjects, 246 (12.9%) individuals completed the survey. We excluded the six subjects who did not answer more than 10 questions, and analyzed the remaining 240 respondents. They agreed that there are tendencies to exclude the aged from clinical trials (69.2%), and that under-representation would cause difficulties for doctors and geriatric patients. Most people (84.6%) thought that treating older adults with the results from trials which exclude aged participants is inappropriate. Because respondents had difficulties explaining the trial process and obtaining informed consent, they thought establishing a geriatric clinical trial team would be highly effective. Experts also believed that financial inducements and legal regulations are required to increase elderly enrollment. Conclusion: Because the elderly have a unique physiology, the participation of older adults in clinical research is indispensable for verifying efficacy and determining potential adverse reactions. Consequently, clinical research professionals should be concerned about the participation of older subjects, and the authorities must begin to care about age discrimination in research fields.","PeriodicalId":191447,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Korean Geriatrics Society","volume":"3 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114028959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: Nineteen patients with OA were randomly assigned to hydrotherapy or control groups. All patients received viscosupplement injections once a week for 3 weeks. Hydrotherapy group (n=9) had a spa containing green tea, 3 days a week for 2 weeks. The control group (n=10) received only injections. All patients were assessed at baseline and after the third injection. All were assessed for pain (visual analog scale, VAS), pain severity, and functional status (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis index, WOMAC), emotional status, quality of life (Euro quality of life health-related quality of life inventory five dimension, EQ-5D), and relative spectral power of alpha waves in electroencephalography (EEG). Results: Both groups reported a statistically significant reduction of pain at the end of treatment and detailed assessment of pain, and function in WOMAC and the relative power of alpha in electroencephalogram showed statistical significant difference only in the hydrotherapy group. However, there were no significant intergroup differences, except for VAS score. Conclusion: Adjuvant 2-week hydrotherapy to viscosupplement might have a modest role in the management of pain and functional disability and the mental relaxation in patients with knee OA. Larger, randomized controlled trials with intervention of long term period to determine efficacy in treating knee OA are warranted.","PeriodicalId":191447,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Korean Geriatrics Society","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134484899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
