Stages of Exercise Behavior Change in a Digital Wellness Program for Aged People : Relationship With Self-Efficacy for Exercise

2022

Sustained physical activity and exercise are central to healthy ageing. Yet, the majority of aged people are insufficiently physically active. Digital wellness technologies are potential in promoting exercise behaviors among aged people, but more detailed research on their potential to promote behavior change is limited. To address this gap, the purpose is to investigate how partaking in a digital wellness program influences the stage of exercise behavior change among aged people and to test whether self-efficacy for exercise can differentiate the program participants in terms of the stages of change. The investigation builds on the stages of exercise behavior change derived from the transt…

Effects of resistance training frequency on muscle strength, activity and mass during a 24-week intervention in the elderly

2016

Elderly populations are increasingly affected by sarcopenia, dynapenia and osteoporosis. They all increase frailty and decrease quality of life and life-expectancy. Resistance training (RT) has been reported extensively as a tool that can prevent, counter and in some cases reverse the course of the abovementioned diseases. Several studies covering RT adaptations in elderly populations have investigated periods between 6 up to 88 weeks with different frequencies, from 1 to 3 trainings / week and a wide range of intensities (30-85% or one repetition maximum) and different volumes. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different training frequencies (one, two or three times / …

En EHPAD, repérer les petits mangeurs et adapter leur alimentation : quel coût, quel bénéfice ?

2018

National audience; Des pesées alimentaires ont montré qu'une large majorité de personnes âgées vivant en EHPAD (Etablissement d'Hébergement pour Personne Âgée Dépendante) ne mange pas suffisamment pour couvrir ses besoins nutritionnels. Il s'ensuit un coût pour les personnes elles-mêmes (augmentation du risque nutritionnel), ainsi qu'un coût pour l'environnement (gaspillage alimentaire). Dans ce contexte, l'objectif de RENESSENS était de proposer aux résidents d'EHPAD une offre alimentaire adaptée à leurs capacités d'ingestion afin de couvrir leurs besoins nutritionnels. Pour cela, nous avons réalisé une étude clinique de 6 mois dans deux maisons de retraite, l'une contrôle (n=43) et l'autr…

Le petit mangeur âgé : quand l'appétit fragilise le statut nutritionnel

2018

National audience; Le vieillissement est associé à de nombreux changements physiologiques, sensoriels, psychologiques et sociologiques susceptibles d'avoir un impact délétère sur la prise alimentaire de la personne âgée. Dans le cadre de RENESSENS, 68 personnes âgées vivant en institution (66 à 100 ans ; 87,4±0.9 d'âge moyen ; 75% de femmes) ont été recrutées et suivies pendant 24 heures de façon à peser tous les aliments et toutes les boissons consommées. Les résultats ont montré que 83% des résidents ne satisfaisaient pas à leurs besoins caloriques et protidiques (43% présentaient un apport inférieur au 2/3 des apports conseillés), essentiellement à cause d'une consommation insuffisante d…

Vieillissement, adaptation alimentaire au grand âge et petit appétit : le petit mangeur âgé

2018

Atteindre un âge canonique de 100 ans avec toutes les fonctions cognitives et physiques de l'âge adulte est le souhait de chacun. Pour autant, avec le vieillissement, l'héritage génétique, les conditions de vie durant la vie adulte et certains accidents de la vie peuvent faire basculer des personnes âgées plus rapidement que d'autres vers la dépendance, la dénutrition, la fragilité. Simone de Beauvoir écrivait « la sénescence n'est pas une pente que chacun descend à la même vitesse. C'est une volée de marches irrégulières que certains dégringolent plus vite que d'autres ». Le vieillissement a ses surprises et pour un même âge de 90 ans, alors que certains peuvent rivaliser avec les plus jeu…
