We sought to explore the association of adult and child caregiving, across a spectrum of intensity, with multiple lifestyle risk factors. Methods: We evaluated the association of caregiving with behavioural and metabolic cardiovascular risk factors, using unconditional logistic regression analyses in the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study. Results: While the overall association of self-reported caregiving with cardiovascular risk factors suggested a mostly positive relationship with healthy lifestyle traits (other than sleep duration), our findings also revealed that higher duration caregiving of adults (≥7 hours per week) was associated with an increased frequency of unhealthy behaviours, including diet, and smoking. Discussion: Our findings suggest that the association of caregiving and behavioural cardiovascular risk factors differ by type and intensity of caregiving.","PeriodicalId":195412,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Geriatrics and Gerontology","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130680270","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}

Late life depression has typically been self-reported or diagnosed starting at age 60. The prevalence rates for late life depression were highly variable in this literature, ranging from a low of 7% in Italy to a high of 37% in Chile, a variability that may relate to the year or type of data collection and/or cross-cultural variation. Negative effects have included loneliness, suicidal ideation, cognitive decline, frailty, functional limitations, low heart rate variability, biological aging (short telomere length and white matter lesions) and earlier mortality. Risk factors have included loneliness, aging anxiety, life stressors (marital discord and job strain), physical problems (activities of daily living), physical health (elevated blood pressure), physical weakness (handgrip, frailty, falls and disability) and unhealthy intake (poor diet, excessive alcohol and vitamin D deficiency). Buffers/protective factors have included positive views on aging, resilience, practicing religion, a Mediterranean diet, and remaining active.

Traditional methods of communication are often considered inadequate. The use of smart phone applications has transformed many areas of clinical practice but there is paucity of literature addressing use of smart phone applications in NH setting. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of eMediCall™, a smartphone application (app), by eliciting perceptions of healthcare providers (HCP) and nurses on usability and clinical communication in nursing homes (NH). Methods: We conducted a quality improvement project using questionnaire survey to elicit perceptions of efficacy of eMediCall™ app use in improving communication between HCP and nurses at three nursing homes in Maryland. Data was analyzed using simple descriptive statistics and Factor analysis was used to assess the dimensionality and internal construct validity of the eMediCall™ efficacy scale developed for this study. Frequency distribution of survey item responses from the two respondent groups were compared using Fisher’s exact test. Results: Fifty-one staff members (33 nurses and 18 HCPs) completed the survey. Factor analysis revealed two conceptual factors influencing survey responses: usability and clinical communication (correlation coefficient = 0.67). Conclusion: Nurses were more likely to agree that eMediCall TM messages removes barriers to language. HCPs reported that the app reduced frustration related to unclear communication. Both agreed that the app enhanced clinical communication, and facilitated provision of patientcare. Asynchronous communication using smartphone app such as eMediCall™ can have a positive impact on perceptions of nurse-HCP communication.","PeriodicalId":195412,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Geriatrics and Gerontology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129225780","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}
