Development and validation of an intrinsic capacity composite score in the Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam: a formative approach

2023

Abstract Background Intrinsic capacity (IC) defined by the WHO refers to the composite of five domains of capacities. So far, developing and validating a standardized overall score of the concept have been challenging partly because its conceptual framework has been unclear. We consider that a person’s IC is determined by its domain-specific indicators suggesting a formative measurement model. Aims To develop an IC score applying a formative approach and assess its validity. Methods The study sample (n = 1908) consisted of 57–88-year-old participants from the Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam (LASA). We used logistic regression models to select the indicators to the IC score with 6-year fu…

Family's role in long‐term care : A qualitative study of Finnish family members' experiences on supporting the functional ability of an older relative

2022

Family members are important providers of care for older people. In residential long-term care, however, their role is not always simple and straightforward: responsibility for care provision rests officially with staff members, but in practice family members often contribute to providing care. The main reason for admission to long-term care is functional decline. At the same time, the maintenance of functional ability is a central goal in long-term care. It is therefore reasonable to assume that functional ability is also an important factor in the relationship between family members and long-term care residents. This study aims to explore how family members experience their role in suppor…

Cortical networks show characteristic recruitment patterns after somatosensory stimulation by pneumatically evoked repetitive hand movements in newbo…

2022

Abstract Controlled assessment of functional cortical networks is an unmet need in the clinical research of noncooperative subjects, such as infants. We developed an automated, pneumatic stimulation method to actuate naturalistic movements of an infant’s hand, as well as an analysis pipeline for assessing the elicited electroencephalography (EEG) responses and related cortical networks. Twenty newborn infants with perinatal asphyxia were recruited, including 7 with mild-to-moderate hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Statistically significant corticokinematic coherence (CKC) was observed between repetitive hand movements and EEG in all infants, peaking near the contralateral sensorimotor…

Objektiivisten ympäristön esteiden yhteys itsenäisesti asuvien ikääntyneiden ihmisten elämänlaatuun

Henriikka Kaartokallio (2014). Objektiivisten ympäristön esteiden yhteys itsenäisesti asuvien ikääntyneiden ihmisten elämänlaatuun. Terveystieteiden laitos, Jyväskylän yliopisto, Gerontologian ja kansanterveyden pro gradu -tutkielma, 47 s., 1 liite. Ympäristön esteet saattavat alentaa ikääntyneiden elämänlaatua etenkin, mikäli toimintakyky on heikentynyt. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli tutkia fyysisen asuinympäristön objektiivisesti havaittujen ympäristön esteiden yhteyttä itsenäisesti asuvien ikääntyneiden ihmisten elämänlaatuun. Tutkimus on osa ”Life-Space Mobility in Old Age” (LISPE) tutkimushanketta. Tutkimuksen osallistujat olivat 75-90 -vuotiaita Jyväskylän ja Muuramen alueella i…

Neighborhood Mobility and Unmet Physical Activity Need in Old Age: A 2-Year Follow-Up

2020

Background: Many older people report a willingness to increase outdoor physical activity (PA), but no opportunities for it, a situation termed as unmet PA need. The authors studied whether lower neighborhood mobility and PA precede the development of unmet PA need. Methods: Community-dwelling 75- to 90-year-old people (n = 700) were interviewed annually for 2 years. Unmet PA need, neighborhood mobility, and PA were self-reported. In addition, accelerometer-based step counts were assessed among a subgroup (n = 156). Results: Logistic regression analyses revealed that lower baseline neighborhood mobility (odds ratio 3.02, 95% confidence interval [1.86, 4.90] vs. daily) and PA (odds ratio 4.37…
