Structural equation models (SEM) constituted by the principles of both regression and factorial analysis was used for analyzing the data obtained from The Goal Content for Exercise Questionnaire (GCEQ), The Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) and The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ-short form). A substantial positive effect of extrinsic goal content on satisfaction with life (β.24) and negative affect (β.27) and a substantial positive effect of intrinsic objectives on positive affect (β.35) were observed. Health (6.03 ± 0.74) was the most important motive whereas social recognition (3.77 ± 1.36) was the least important one. Individuals with higher physical activity had greater positive effect and satisfaction with life and lower levels of negative affect. This study is of significance in comprehending the role of physical activity and well-being among older adults.","PeriodicalId":90884,"journal":{"name":"Journal of aging science","volume":"6 1","pages":"1-3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70271468","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}

However, elucidation of the relationship between equilibrium and cognitive function and the influence of cognition function on equilibrium in elderly people is required. Methods: This study sought to illustrate the characteristics of the equilibrium function in elderly people, focusing on the vividness and controllability of the body schema as a cognitive function and analyzing its relationship with body sway (in the one-leg standing test with eyes open) from a lifelong development perspective. Movement distance and the outer area in body sway in the one-leg standing test with eyes open were measured for 139 participants including children, college students, and elderly people. In addition, the vividness and controllability of the body schema were measured using reaction times in a video game-style imaginary body movement test. Results: In the college students, both types of cognitive function were significantly correlated with equilibrium, indicating an association between these two variables. Moreover, different relationships between equilibrium and cognitive function were observed in children and elderly people. Therefore, equilibrium in the elderly people did not deteriorate to the extent that it reflected the characteristics of young children; rather, it was influenced by multiple factors that attributed to the deterioration of the motor organ while maintaining basic strategies continued from early adulthood. Conclusion: Specific outcomes could be achieved to maintain the health of elderly people via future examining of the relationship between equilibrium and cognitive function.","PeriodicalId":90884,"journal":{"name":"Journal of aging science","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70271541","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: An online questionnaire was distributed between October 2017 and February 2018. 471 orthoptists (110 students and 361 graduates) responded to the survey. Questions concerned the orthoptist’s educational and demographic background, extent of training in virtual reality as a reeducation tool, and mode of practice including frequency of patient visits, goals, and methods of rehabilitation training. Results: Out of 361 practicing orthoptists, 47.75% were low vision rehabilitation providers, and 52.25% were not. A provider’s likelihood of using low vision rehabilitation immediately after graduating from university was positively correlated to his confidence in the training he had received. Most respondents were receptive to using virtual reality as a reeducation tool. Conclusions: Analysis of current low vision rehabilitation practice demonstrates no standardization of treatment protocols among providers. Although orthoptists overall acknowledge the benefits of virtual reality as a rehabilitation tool, orthoptist curriculum varies greatly across universities, which thus affects a provider’s likelihood of offering low vision rehabilitation. Moreover, this lack of standardization is a problem worldwide, which suggests a need for better clinical guidelines in low vision rehabilitation practice.","PeriodicalId":90884,"journal":{"name":"Journal of aging science","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2329-8847.1000194","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70271747","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 purpose of this study was to assess risky behaviors and their associated factors among the elderly in rural Vietnam. \u0000Design: In a cross-sectional study using quantitative methods, 600 elderly (≥ 60 years old) living in a rural district in Northern Vietnam in 2013 were approached for data collection. Logistic regression was undertaken to identify factors associated with each of the risky behaviors, including using alcohol, smoking, and physical inactivity. \u0000Results: The frequency of drinking, smoking and physical inactivity among the rural elderly was quite prevalent, 25.17%, 22.17% and 60%, respectively. The multivariate regression analysis revealed that alcohol use was most strongly predicted by gender (male) and age (60-79 years old). Further, smoking behavior was significantly more prevalent among those who were male, younger age, with low social participation, low social support and high social cohesion. In terms of physical inactivity, being female, married, having a caregiver, with low social participation, low social cohesion and high social support were most likely to predict inadequate exercises among the rural older people. \u0000Conclusions: Social efforts are important to create social conditions (social participation, social cohesion and social support) that facilitate healthy behaviors among the seniors. The results can be utilized to inform appropriate intervention programs in other similar settings of developing countries.","PeriodicalId":90884,"journal":{"name":"Journal of aging science","volume":"5 1","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2329-8847.1000182","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41861724","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}

Historically, described in psychotic disorders, DMS prevalence is 15.8% in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and 16.6% in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). We present a case of DMS in a patient with dementia that incorporates elements of mirrored self-misidentification and phantom boarder syndrome and therapeutic response to a combination of a behavioral intervention and donepezil. \u0000 \u0000Case: 75-year-old white female presented with a four months history of DMS and visual hallucinations. Patient perceived her own reflection in picture glass as an older lady who was trying to steal her \"boyfriends.\" Her \"boyfriends\" were three pictures of soldiers in her apartment. MMSE was 27/30 (WORLD) and 23/30 (Serial 7s). MRI showed biparietal and right hippocampal atrophy. NPT showed impaired language, spatial abilities, memory, and executive control. She scored <1 percentile on category word fluency, judgement of line orientation, raw complex figures and Beery VMI. Patient was diagnosed with probable AD, using NINCDS-ADRDA and findings on neuropsychological testing (NPT) and MRI. DLB was excluded using McKeith's criteria. After a failed trial of risperidone, she received donepezil and family was instructed to remove photographs. MMSE stable with resolution of the mirrored selfmisidentification at 4 months follow up. \u0000 \u0000Conclusion: Patient's poor response to risperidone is consistent with previous studies suggesting limitations of antipsychotic treatment for psychotic symptoms in AD. Removal of potential symptom trigger along with an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor resulted in remission for up to 4 months. The potentiating effect of donepezil on the cholinergic component of the visuo-amygdaloid pathway/dorsal visual pathway may account for these changes.","PeriodicalId":90884,"journal":{"name":"Journal of aging science","volume":"5 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2329-8847.1000181","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44987205","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}
