Calidad de vida de las personas mayores en el África Subsahariana : el caso de Angola

The aim of this review is to critically appraise, compare and summarise the quality of the measurement properties of all multidimensional instruments with an integral approach to identify frailty in community-dwelling people.Methods and analysisMedline…

Associations of neuroticism with falls in older adults : do psychological factors mediate the association?

Indoor and outdoor falls during the past year were self-reported.

L’isolement et la solitude des personnes âgées au prisme du regard démographique
2016
International audience; Parler de solitude, ce n’est pas toujours parler de personnes seules et, à l’inverse, parler de personnes seules, ce n’est pas forcément approcher la solitude. La solitude ne s’apprécie pas à l’aune de l’isolement : c’est un sentiment plus qu’une caractéristique.

Dans cet article, il sera question de poser le regard d’une démographe sur cette épineuse question et de revenir sur les principaux indicateurs qui permettent aujourd’hui de mesurer l’isolement et d’appréhender la solitude.ă[ENGLISH]ăI…
