However, few quantitative studies have examined NH prices and services vis-à-vis users’ preferences. Therefore, in this study, we used a choice-based conjoint analysis to examine price- and services-related needs for NHs according to respondents’ age. The survey was conducted in Osaka, Japan, where 130 community-dwelling individuals were divided into two age groups: 40–50 s (<i>n</i> = 65)—comprising individuals whose parents or relatives were expected to need long-term care—and <b>≥</b> 60 (<i>n</i> = 65)—comprising individuals who were expected to need long-term care. Prior to analysis, we determined that a nested logit model was appropriate for this study. We examined the marginal effects of prices and services. The results showed that good healthcare had a positive and significant effect on the preferences of the 40–50 s group, whereas this effect was absent in the <b>≥</b> 60 group. In both groups, good life support had a significant positive effect on preference. However, the marginal effect of good life support was larger for the 40–50 s group because fewer people chose not to move into an NH, suggesting the need for a more detailed analysis of the 40–50 s group. This study’s results provide valuable insights regarding pre-purchase decision-making for NH selection, which is currently determined based on post-purchase activity.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51665,"journal":{"name":"Ageing International","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142573757","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}

Deficits in these functions are related to pathological aging. However, research suggests that an active lifestyle may exert a protective effect on cognition in aging. While the association between physical activity and cognitive functioning in older adults has been previously described, few studies have explored the relationship between incidental physical activity and fitness with sustained attention and impulse control in this population. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the association between incidental physical activity and various components of fitness and sustained attention and impulsivity in older adults. Fifty-four older adults were recruited (41 females and 13 males) with a mean age of 76.76 years (SD = 8.94). Physical activity levels were assessed using the Yale Physical Activity Survey (YPAS), physical function in healthy older adults was evaluated with the Senior Fitness Test, and sustained attention and impulsivity were measured using a computerized continuous performance task. Significant correlations were found between higher energy expenditure during housework and yardwork activities, and fewer commission errors and shorter reaction times during sustained attention task, and higher sensitivity during impulse control task (rho between 0.35 and 0.40, <i>p</i> < .01, β = 0.80). Additionally, higher scores between agility and balance were associated with better accuracy during the sustained attention task, and faster speed processing correlated to better performance impulse control task (rho between 0.33 and 0.36, <i>p</i> < .05, β = 0.80).

This study explored the types of violence or abuse experienced by grandparent kinship carers, and the meanings grandparents associate with the abuse. Thirty-one grandparents were recruited from four communities in Ghana following a horizontal network sampling approach and interviewed using a qualitative in-depth narrative storytelling strategy. Analysis of the narratives revealed three common types of abuse experienced by the grandparent kinship carers which were perpetrated by children living under their care: (1) insults and verbal abuse, (2) stealing and financial exploitation, and (3) physical threats. However, the grandparents rationalised and justified the abusive behaviours by attributing them to factors within the children’s eco-system, such as friends and household members. The findings highlighted three crucial interrelated factors that underlie these incidents of violence including cultural beliefs around witchcraft, family structural dynamics, and grandparents’ attitudes towards violence. Practical recommendations, including the development of a community normative change program, have been proposed to address violence by grandchildren towards grandparent kinship carers in Ghana.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51665,"journal":{"name":"Ageing International","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s12126-024-09574-9.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142409891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
