Polypharmacy, medication adherence, and inappropriate drug use in geriatric patients: A cross-sectional study in a tertiary care hospital

Vaibhavkumar Patel, Isha Goswami, Shivangi Goswami, Viraj Parmar, Maria Bairaktari, Ruchi Yadav, Nipul Kapadia, Ankit Chaudhary

Abstract Introduction: Polypharmacy, which means taking several medications at the same time, creates serious challenges for older adults. It can reduce the effectiveness of health care and affect their overall well-being. According to the World Health Organization, polypharmacy is linked to problems such as falls, longer hospital stays, and poor medication adherence. Because older people often have chronic illnesses, they need more medicines, which increase the chance of harmful drug interactions. Studying polypha …

Participatory Action Research with people experiencing food poverty: methodological reflections from two studies

Yassir Sefu, Evelyn Markoni, Sara Smaal, Esther J. Veen

Food poverty undermines physical health, social participation and dignity. Whereas most studies treat affected individuals as respondents, Participatory Action Research (PAR) invites them to act as co-researchers. This article reflects on PAR methodology by discussing two PAR projects: one in the city of Bern (Switzerland) and one in Almere (the Netherlands). Both projects engaged adults experiencing poverty to discuss their dietary practices, reflect on access to healthy food in their respective environments and c …

A minimal three-arm oral regimen for healthspan: mechanistic alignment with transcriptomic signals from a large parental-lifespan GWAS

Ngo Cheung

A large genome-wide association study of parental lifespan was reported in 2019. A later transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) based on those summary statistics identified a set of transcriptional programs associated with longer genetically predicted survival, including increased brain NAD + salvage, especially NMNAT2, reduced glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, a shift toward synaptic pruning with less broad plasticity, and a glial pattern characterized by relatively greater microglial and lower astrocytic …

Mengyi Gao, Minxiu Ji, Caidi Zhang, Shuying Wang, Chun Wang, Yikang Zhu, Xiaochun Qiu, Raymond C. K. Chan, Stefan Leucht, Xinyi Cao, Chunbo Li

ABSTRACT People with psychotic disorders have higher dementia risk. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and incidence of dementia in this population. Data were synthesized through meta‐analysis (including subgroup and sensitivity analyses) and narrative synthesis. The pooled dementia prevalence was 24.3% (95% CI: 20.5%–28.5%, I 2 = 84.7%, p < 0.001) in older adults after excluding one outlier. Factors contributing to heterogeneity included prevalence types, settings, geographical regions, and age. The de …

Empowering MENA’s future: how financial inclusion bridges the aging population and economic growth from public good theory

Ismail Khan, Haseeb Ur Rahman, Naveed R. Rehman, Mustafa Rehman Khan

Purpose Despite the growing body of literature on population age structure (PAS) and economic growth, empirical evidence on the role of financial inclusion (FI) in moderating the effect is quite scarce, particularly for the Middle East/North Africa (MENA) region. This study aims to investigate the moderating impact of FI on the relationship between PAS and economic growth from the perspective of public good (PG) theory in MENA countries. Design/methodology/approach Using a sample of 10 MENA countries (i.e. Algeria, …

Rethinking Mobile Ethnography: Spatial and Social Experiences of Older Migrants

Tuğçe Tezel, Basak Bilecen, Nardi Steverink

ABSTRACT Europe's ageing population includes a growing number of older migrants whose experiences of ageing in place require methods that capture mobility, place, and social participation. Mobile ethnography, particularly walking/go‐along interviews, offers valuable opportunities to examine how older migrants engage with everyday environments. Yet existing mobile research with older migrants has often focused on participants able to take part in walking interviews, leaving less attention to how mobile ethnography c …

Impact of specialized mobility services on independent travel, economic outcomes, and well-being for people with low vision and blindness: an international survey

Maxime Bleau, Kopila Kafle, Min Wang, Soutongnoma Safiata Kaboré, Jorge Luis Cueva-Vargas, Yingzi Xiong, Joseph Paul Nemargut

Abstract Background Though independent mobility has a considerable impact on an individual’s quality of life, employability, and social participation, few studies have examined the impact of specialized mobility services for people with visual impairments (PVI) globally. This study examines the impact of these services on independent travel and how it relates to social determinants of health for adults with low vision and blindness. Methods PVI 18 years of age or older were recruited via social media platforms or a …

Hongbing Yu, Tong Wu, Shufen Li, Hongqun Jiang, Yuanping Xiong

Abstract Background Frailty is dynamic, but the relationships of hearing loss, social isolation, and their coexistence with transitions between frailty states remain unclear. We examined their associations with frailty progression, recovery, and death in two longitudinal ageing cohorts. Methods We included 4,068 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) participants (mean baseline age, 72.0 years; baseline, 2011; median follow-up, 7.0 years) and 9,769 Health and Retirement Study (HRS) participants (me …

Dnyandev G. Gadhave, Ashish B. Jadhav, Nitin B. Waghamode, Shubham Khot, Rajiya Khan, Ravi Hole, Shankar M. Dhobale, Manoj Aswar, Keshav Raj Paudel

ABSTRACT Aging is a significant risk factor of neurodegenerative disorders (NDs) such as Huntington's, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and multiple sclerosis (MS). Although several clinical, neuroimaging, and biomarker‐based diagnostic approaches are available for NDs, their limited sensitivity for early‐stage detection, disease specificity, and prediction of disease progression continue to present significant clinical challenges, often resulting in delayed diagnosis and therapeutic i …

Metabolic Syndrome and Dementia Risk in Older Adults: A Narrative Review

Hyojin Park, Mallika Chuansangeam, Yuan‐Han Yang

ABSTRACT Dementia is a major global health issue in aging societies. Metabolic syndrome (MetS), a cluster of metabolic abnormalities, has been proposed as a modifiable risk factor for dementia, although existing evidence remains inconsistent. This review examined recent studies on the association between MetS and dementia risk in older adults. We searched PubMed for original studies published between January 1, 2014, and July 15, 2024, using the keywords “metabolic syndrome” and “dementia.” Fourteen studies met the …

ABSTRACT Introductions Lithium remains the first‐line maintenance treatment for bipolar disorder (BD), yet its safety in older‐age BD (OABD) is uncertain due to limited large‐scale data. OABD patients often experience more severe physical comorbidities compared to younger BD patients, but systematic evidence regarding lithium's association with these conditions is lacking. This study examined the association between lithium use and physical comorbidities across age groups using the international Global Aging and Ge …

Raptors’ contributions to people and human–raptor conflicts worldwide: an expert assessment

Santiago Zuluaga, F. Hernán Vargas, Juan M. Grande

Wildlife provides a wide range of nature’s contributions to people (NCP). At the same time, while they provide beneficial contributions, several detrimental contributions and/or human–wildlife conflicts (HWC) may also arise, particularly for wild predators and scavengers. Thus, interdisciplinary approaches that explicitly address both beneficial and detrimental contributions can make wildlife conservation efforts more effective. Despite this, historically, there has been an overall lack of interdisciplinary researc …

Experience of Respite Care with Alternating Housing Among People with Dementia: A Mixed-Methods Study

Mirkka Söderman, Annelie K. Gusdal, Lena-Karin Gustafsson

Background: In line with international aging policies, most people with dementia receive care at home. Community-based respite services aim to relieve, support, or share caregiving responsibilities. More person-centered knowledge based on experiences from this group is needed to increase informed decisions about planning of qualitative respite care. The aim of this study is to describe how people with dementia experience respite care with alternating housing, i.e., living partly at home, partly in residential care, …
