Method(s): The present study was a randomized controlled trial performed in 2021 on 80 older adults visiting retirement centers in Hamadan. Participants were randomly assigned to experimental (n=40) and control groups (n=40). The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire including demographic variables and constructs of PMT which were completed before and two months after the intervention. The intervention consisted of four sessions implemented for the experimental group. The collected data was analyzed in SPSS-16 using Chi-square, Mann-Whitney, and Wilcoxon tests. Result(s): There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of all demographic variables and theoretical constructs before the educational intervention. After the educational intervention, there was a significant difference in the constructs of perceived severity (P=0.012), perceived response efficiency (P=0.009), perceived self-efficacy (P=0.021), and perceived response cost (P <0.001) after the intervention. No significant changes were reported in the control group (P >0.05). Also, results showed that there was no significant difference in the mean of COVID-19 preventive behaviors between the two groups after the educational intervention (P >0.05). Conclusion(s): The results showed that the use of educational intervention as non-pharmaceutical intervention based on the PMT was an effective approach to perform preventive behaviors against infectious diseases such as COVID-19.

The purpose of study is to provide basic data necessary for establishing oral health promotion programs and oral health policies for the elderly. Methods: We conducted a convenience sampling of 624 elderly 65 years and older in five markets located in Gyeongsnagnam-do, republic of Korea. After confirming the subject’s voluntary participation, 5 public health dentists from community health centers performed dental examination and treatment to assess oral health status (7 questions) and oral discomfort (5 questions), and 5 dental hygienists conducted an interviewer-administered survey with the structured questionnaire consisting of sociodemographic characteristics (9 questions) and oral health behavior (7 questions). Results: Gender ( r =-0.118, p =0.003) and age ( r =-0.173, p <0.001) showed a negative correlation with oral health status. Economic status showed a negative correlation with satisfaction with dental health care (-0.095, p =0.018) and experience of dental health care education (-0.088, p =.029), and showed a positive correlation with oral health status ( r =0.098, p =0.015).

As one of the fastest aging countries in the world, Taiwan needs health plans with strong supporting evidences to respond to all challenges related to rapid population aging. The health plans should be community-based and person-centered, with optimal integration between all health and social care providers. Gan-Dau is a geographic region of the Beitou District of Taipei City where resides approximately 53,000 inhabitants and the percentage of people aged 65 years and older is over 18% in 2022. The name of Gan-Dau is originated from the aboriginal Taiwanese centuries ago and describes the connection of two rivers. As the name speaks for itself, Gan-Dau has been the wharf for fishermen for hundreds of years, and has transformed into a cluster of hightech industries, healthcare facilities, educational facilities, and recreational activities nowadays with well-preserved traditional cultures. Currently, Gan-Dau is a community with heterogenous composition of population, social activities, and lifestyles, which is suitable to be the pioneer site for community-based health plans of healthy aging. With the support from Taiwan’s National Health Research Institutes, the Taipei Municipal Gan-Dau Hospital, Taipei Veterans General Hospital, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, and industrial partners, Gau-Dau has become the pioneer site for examining the overall effects of implementing serial healthy longevity plans beyond individual clinical trials. Moreover, the Gan-Dau Healthy Longevity Plan actively collaborates with Japan’s National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology, University of Tokyo, and the Cleveland Clinic of the United States to strengthen regional and global impacts to promote global healthy aging.","PeriodicalId":36784,"journal":{"name":"Aging Medicine and Healthcare","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42673838","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}

Until now, over 15,000 publications related to sarcopenia have been identified in the PubMed with a substantially growing trend year by year. Sarcopenia is defined as age-related loss of muscle mass with reduced muscle strength or/and low physical performance based on the operational definitions of different working groups. Due to the fundamental differences in ethnic backgrounds, body size, body composition, dietary habits, lifestyles, risk factors, diagnosis, natural course, and treatment responses, sarcopenia in Asian populations may differ great from Caucasians. Hence, the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) started in 2013 and invited major researchers of sarcopenia or related fields in Asian countries to discuss how sarcopenia should be diagnosed and treated in Asian populations. After extensive discussions, AWGS published the Asian consensus for sarcopenia diagnosis and treatment based on research data from Asian countries, which basically followed the diagnostic algorithm of the European group. The diagnostic criteria of sarcopenia were revised in 2019, which not only modified the diagnostic algorithms, but also strongly addressed the importance to integrate sarcopenia in the clinical management of chronic conditions and multimorbidity.","PeriodicalId":36784,"journal":{"name":"Aging Medicine and Healthcare","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42088806","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}

We aimed to evaluate the validity of the Vietnamese version of the FRAIL-scale (FRAIL-VI) for frailty screening in Vietnam. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at the Geriatric clinic of Gia Dinh People’s Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City. Frailty was evaluated using the FRAIL scale and Fried’s criteria. Stata version 14 was used for data analysis. We used receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses, the area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values to assess diagnostic accuracy of the FRAIL scale, when compared with Fried’s criteria. Box and Whisker plots were obtained to present the distribution of the FRAIL scores according to Fried’s criteria, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient was calculated to examine the correlation between the two tools. Results: The study included 396 participants (mean age of 72.6±7.6, 62.1% female). The optimal cut-off value for the FRAIL scale was ≥2, with 94.7% sensitivity, 85.2% specificity, and a Youden index of 0.799. In ROC analysis, the FRAIL-VI AUC was 0.964 (95% confidence interval: 0.95 – 0.98), when compared with Fried’s criteria. The FRAIL-VI scale had a high positive correlation with Fried’s criteria, with a Pearson’s correlation coefficient of 0.81 ( p <0.001). Conclusion: The FRAIL scale is a valuable frailty screening tool when compared with Fried’s criteria. A cut-off value of ≥2 may be useful in primary care settings.","PeriodicalId":36784,"journal":{"name":"Aging Medicine and Healthcare","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42583832","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}
