This study aimed to explore the associations between emotional status, cognitive functioning, motor dysfunction, and their relationship with quality of life in community-dwelling older adults participating in a group physical exercise program. Structural equation modeling was used to explore these relationships in a sample of 190 older adults. Emotional state directly predicted all domains of quality of life. Motor dysfunction predicts the physical health domain of quality of life. Motor dysfunction and cognitive functioning are strongly correlated with emotional status. The fit indices of the final model are acceptable, and it demonstrates that within group-exercise dynamics, emotional status is the main component of quality-of-life promotion. Therefore, professionals designing group physical exercise programs to promote active aging should consider not only physical fitness, but also the integration of psychosocial elements, offering a holistic approach to enhancing overall well-being.</p>","PeriodicalId":49056,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health","volume":"21 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11594233/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142733651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A detailed analysis of intake records from 150 injured veterans who entered the Returned and Services League of Australia's advocacy program in 2021 reveals significant disparities between male and female veterans in seeking assistance. On average, male veterans delay accessing support by 20.4 years post-service, compared to 9.1 years for female veterans. These prolonged delays hinder veterans' ability to secure financial and medical support from the Department of Veterans' Affairs, limiting timely access to essential healthcare services. As a result, delays can exacerbate physical and psychological symptoms, impede recovery, and increase the risk of suicide. The findings provide valuable insights for international healthcare professionals on the influence of military culture and traditional masculine norms in shaping veterans' help-seeking behaviors. By understanding these dynamics, healthcare practitioners can develop targeted, sex-sensitive interventions that address specific barriers faced by male and female veterans.

This pilot study investigated the presence and concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in selected hotels in four different US cities with varying star ratings at the end of the pandemic period. Targeting 139 VOCs, 57 were detected across eight groups: alcohols, halocarbons, aromatics, alkanes, terpenes, carbonyls, ethers, and esters, in the indoor air. Alcohols were the most prevalent, especially in lower-rated hotels, suggesting higher use of cleaning supplies. Elevated levels of aromatics were detected in hotels rated under three stars, with a notable disparity compared to higher-rated hotels. Additionally, alkanes and terpenes such as n-tetradecane and d-limonene were consistently detected. Health risk assessment showed concentrations of all VOCs remained below their health criteria for customers.

We describe acquired brain injury (ABI) as one of the most common reasons for cognitive and motor disabilities in children that significantly impact their safety, independence, and overall quality of life. These disabilities manifest as dysfunctions in cognition, gait, balance, upper-limb coordination, and hand dexterity. Rehabilitation treatment aims to restore and optimize these impaired functions to help children regain autonomy and enhance their quality of life. Recent advancements in monitoring technologies such as EEG measurements are increasingly playing a role in clinical diagnosis and management. A significant advantage of incorporating EEG technology in pediatric rehabilitation is its ability to provide continuous and objective quantitative monitoring of a child's neurological status. This allows for the real-time assessment of improvement or deterioration in brain function, including, but not limited to, a significant impact on motor function.

Recommendations to prevent and treat obesity for those with SCI follow those of the US Department of Agriculture to adopt a healthy eating pattern that includes eating a variety of fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy, and protein, plus limiting added sugars, saturated fats, and sodium. Yet, people with SCI eat too many calories, fat, and carbohydrates and too few fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. The study is based on secondary analyses of SCI participants (<i>n</i> = 122) who enrolled in a weight loss study to determine how SCI may impact their ability to prepare food at home. We hypothesize those with higher-level spinal injuries (specifically, those with cervical versus those with thoracic or lumbar/sacral injuries) experience significantly greater difficulty and are more likely to rely on others' assistance to perform meal preparation tasks. Physiologic (weight, BMI, blood pressure, hemoglobin A1c) and self-reported data (demographic plus responses to the Life Habits Short Survey and meal prep items) were collected at baseline and qualitative data were obtained from a subsample after the intervention during phone interviews. Participants' average age was 50 ± 14.7 years old, they lived with SCI for an average of 13.0 ± 13.1 years, and their average BMI was 32.0 ± 6.5. Participants were predominantly white (76.1%) men (54.1%) who had some college education (76.3%), though only 28.8% worked. A substantial proportion of respondents (30% to 68%) reported difficulty across the 13 tasks related to purchasing and preparing meals, with a proxy reported as the most common assistance type used across all tasks (17% to 42%). Forty-nine percent reported difficulty preparing simple meals, with 29% reporting a proxy does the task. More than half reported difficulty using the oven and stove, though between 60% to 70% reported no difficulty using other kitchen appliances (e.g., coffee machine, food processor, can opener), the refrigerator, or microwave. There was a significant difference in kitchen function by injury level. Those living with cervical-level injuries had significantly greater limitations than those with thoracic-level injuries. Spouses, other family members, and caregivers were most likely to serve as proxies and these individuals exerted both positive and negative influences on respondents' dietary intake, based on qualitative data obtained during interviews. The results suggest that many people living with SCI experience functional and environmental barriers that impact their ability to prepare food and use kitchen appliances. Future research should examine how SCI-related functional limitations, transportation access, accessibility of the kitchen, ability to use appliances, availability of financial resources, and assistance by others to prepare foods impact people's ability to follow a healthy eating pattern.</p>","PeriodicalId":49056,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health","volume":"21 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11594136/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142733935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study employed a qualitative interpretive methodology involving one-to-one semi-structured interviews with self-selecting participants.

A generic thematic approach resulted in five intersecting themes, converging on one overarching organising construct, i.e., bullying in higher education as a traumatic process. The data displayed relationality, institutionalisation and unethicality, which are underlying features of a multi-faceted conceptualisation of bullying. It was concluded that the processes and procedures in place to address bullying and provide redress do not appear to be sufficiently nuanced to accommodate the complex behaviours and power plays involved in bullying in Higher Education, assuming a rationality stripped of power dynamics, which risks aggravating the damage already inflicted by bullying. The findings suggest that the institutional response, or lack thereof, can sometimes be more traumatising than the bullying itself.
