Methods: A total of 120 elderly were included in this cross sectional study. Elderly were visited in their homes and nutritional status of them was evaluated by Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (MNA-SF) scale. In questionnaire; general information about elderly, presence of chronic disease, pressure sores, anthropometric measurement, nutritional status of elderly were asked. In addition, current biochemical parameters which were routinely evaluated in elderly were recorded by the researcher. Results: The mean age of elderly (40 males and 80 females) was 81.3±8.3 (65-105) years, and 97.5% of elderly were diagnosed with at least one disease. According to the MNA-SF score, 60.8% of elderly were classified as malnourished, 34.2% at risk for malnutrition and 5.0% as normal nutritional status. Currently, 49.2% of malnourished elderly have pressure sores and 54.8% had at least once before; these rates were higher than elderly without malnutrition ( p <0.001). In addition, total MNA-SF score of elderly is strongly positive with hemoglobin, hematocrit and calf circumference; it was found that there was a strong negative correlation with C-reactive protein (CRP). Conclusion: In this study, it was found that only 5.0% of elderly who received home health care were in good nutritional status and pressure sore was higher in elderly who have risk of malnutrition or malnourished. Nutritional status of elderly receiving home health care should be evaluated by dietitians and more comprehensive scientific studies are needed.","PeriodicalId":36784,"journal":{"name":"Aging Medicine and Healthcare","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42586618","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}

Antioxidant’s properties of honey maybe helpful to improve symptoms and signs of dry eye. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of honey cocktail on dry eye-like parameters among postmenopausal women. Methods: An interventional study was conducted from November 2015 to May 2017. The eligible postmenopausal women were enrolled in this study. Participants for intervention received 20-gram honey cocktail supplement for 3 months (intervention group). Control group were not given any supplement or placebo. All participants were assessed for Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) score using OSDI questionnaire (dry eye symptoms) and evaluated for Schirmer test value and Tear Break-up Time (TBUT) (dry eye signs) at baseline and at 3 months of the study. Results: A total of 60 postmenopausal women were recruited (30 participants in intervention group and 30 participants in control group). At 3 months, intervention group showed significant reduction of mean OSDI score compared to control group (8.82 SD 8.33 vs 14.17 SD 10.37 scores respectively, p =0.032). There was no significant difference of mean Schirmer test value and TBUT between the two groups. Conclusion: Short duration of honey cocktail supplementation showed no significant beneficial effect on dry eye-like parameters among postmenopausal women. Longer duration of honey supplementation might provide beneficial effect on dry eye-like parameters as systemic honey supplementation has a slow effect on ocular surface.","PeriodicalId":36784,"journal":{"name":"Aging Medicine and Healthcare","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41876872","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 JCGG was supported by the Asia-Pacific League of Clinical Gerontology and Geriatrics (APLCGG), an international virtual academic platform in Asia-Pacific region with special interest in Geriatrics. When activities of APLCGG ended, the Asian Association for Frailty and Sarcopenia (AAFS) together with the Taiwan Association for Integrated Care (TAIC) took over the mission to continue the journal publishing and changed the title to AMH with a bigger scope. Currently, AMH is the official journal of AAFS and TAIC that welcomes submissions from researchers all over the world. With the new name and new supporting societies, AMH also broadened the aim and scope into a more international journal that published academic research papers on various issues related to population aging, especially the healthcare services and systems. The visibility and submissions of AMH dropped in 2019-2020, which was a common situation at the transitional stage of an academic journal. The indexing in the “Emerging Sources Citation Index” (ESCI) by the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) in 2021 substantially stimulated submissions to AMH. The CiteScore of AMH in the Scopus database was 0.8 in 2020, and significantly increasedto 1.2 in 2021. The Journal Citation Index (JCI) of AMH in the JCR was 0.16 in 2021, and is estimated to increase in 2022 as well. These figures demonstrated the success of the transition of AMH from JCGG, and AMH is expected to grow continuously.","PeriodicalId":36784,"journal":{"name":"Aging Medicine and Healthcare","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46129140","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: This cross-sectional study involved face-to-face interviews with community-dwelling older people who living in Ho Chi Minh City. Frailty was assessed according to Fried’s criteria, and multimorbidity was defined as the coexistence of ≥2 chronic diseases. Results: The study included 598 participants (mean age: 71.2±7.8 years, 67.2% female). The prevalence of multimorbidity was 55.5%. The prevalence of frailty was 18.1%, was significantly higher among participants with multimorbidity (multimorbidity: 23.1% vs. no multimorbidity: 11.5%, p <0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that multimorbidity was an independent factor that associated with frailty (adjusted odds ratio: 1.92, 95% confidence interval: 1.17-3.17, p =0.010). Conclusion: The prevalences of frailty and multimorbidity were very high among community-dwelling older people in Vietnam. Furthermore, multimorbidity was an independent factor that associated with frailty. Therefore, early health interventions are needed to prevent and manage both frailty and multimorbidity in this vulnerable population.","PeriodicalId":36784,"journal":{"name":"Aging Medicine and Healthcare","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47689792","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}
