Due to the dramatic impact of COVID-19 pandemic, Spain underwent a strict lockdown (March–May 2020). How modified older adults’ physical activity (PA) has been poorly described. This research assesses effect on PA levels and identifies predictors sufficient/insufficient in frail community-dwellers. Community-dwelling participants from +ÀGIL Barcelona frailty intervention program, suspended during phone-assessment lockdown. was measured before after using Brief Physical Activity Assessment...
Abstract Background Sleep disturbances are prevalent among older adults and associated with various individual diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate whether sleep the speed multimorbidity development adults. Methods Data were gathered from Swedish National Aging Care in Kungsholmen (SNAC-K), an ongoing population-based subjects aged 60+ ( N = 3363). included a subsample n 1189) without at baseline (< 2 chronic diseases). Baseline derived Comprehensive Psychiatric Rating Scale...
Delirium research is poorly studied in postacute care, a growing setting due to aging populations, as well dementia, critical risk factor for delirium and particularly prevalent care. We investigated factors its outcomes older adults with without dementia admitted subacute care unit (SCU) after exacerbated chronic conditions.This prospective cohort study including patients ≥65 years old an SCU 12 months. collected demographics, comprehensive geriatric assessments, presence of at admission....
Different programs promote healthy ageing through the optimization of intrinsic capacity. However, a major challenge is to assess their sustained effects over time. +AGIL Barcelona, consolidated multidomain program, aims optimize older adults' capacity coordinated approach among primary care, geriatrics and community resources, in agreement with integrated care for people (ICOPE) guidelines. We aimed evaluate Barcelona longitudinal effect on physical performance.
Objective To evaluate the effect of integrating a specific balance-training program focused on static balance to conventional rehabilitation dynamic balance, risk falls, and activities daily living (ADLs) in older adults post-stroke. Design A single-blinded randomized controlled trial. Setting Institutional Intermediate Care Hospital. Subjects Post-stroke subacute phase without cognitive impairment, aged 65 years older, exhibiting trunk control seated position for 30 seconds supporting arms....
Abstract Purpose Current evidence on the use of eHealth in geriatric rehabilitation is limited. This aim this study was to achieve international consensus three key eHealth-related topics rehabilitation: use, domains, and scientific evaluation eHealth. Additionally, we developed a model that provides insight into rehabilitation. Methods An international, two-round Delphi conducted. Two models served as framework for initial statement draft, with total 28 statements based our systematic...
Abstract Purpose To describe a guidance on the management of post-acute COVID 19 patients in geriatric rehabilitation. Methods The is based guidelines for COVID-19 rehabilitation developed Netherlands, updated with recent insights from literature, related other countries and disciplines, combined experiences experts participating Geriatric Rehabilitation Special Interest Group European Medicine Society. Results This divided into section addressing general recommendations specific processes...
While eHealth can help improve outcomes for older patients receiving geriatric rehabilitation, the implementation and integration of is often complex time-consuming. To use effectively in it essential to understand experiences needs healthcare professionals. In this international multicentre cross-sectional study, we used a web-based survey explore use, benefits, feasibility usability rehabilitation settings, together with working Descriptive statistics were summarize quantitative findings....
Background The “AGIL Barcelona (AGILBcn)” community-based integrated care program is a multicomponent healthy aging intervention for frail older adults. In this context, the present study aimed to identify implementation strategies optimize accessibility, acceptability, and adaptability of mobile health (mhealth) interventions enhance physical activity in adults, prioritize action points according their importance feasibility, through co-design process. Material methods A mixed approach was...
Abstract We aimed to investigate the association between baseline levels of total serum glutathione (tGSH) and rate chronic disease accumulation over time. The study population (n = 2,596) was derived from a population-based longitudinal on ≥60-year-olds living in Stockholm. Participants were clinically assessed at baseline, 3- 6-year follow-ups. Multimorbidity measured as number conditions previously built list 60 diseases. Linear mixed models applied analyze tGSH multimorbidity development...
Objective: Evidence about the role of nutritional status (NS) on functional outcomes (FO) after rehabilitation in older adults is scarce. Our aim was to analyze association between NS and FO admitted geriatric units.Methods: The Sarcopenia And Function Aging Rehabilitation (SAFARI) multicenter study enrolled patients aged ≥65 years units Italy Spain. were absolute relative gain (AFG-RFG) Barthel Index (BI) at 1 3 months admission. (Mini Nutritional Assessment–Short Form) explored using...
To assess the 3-month impact on physical function of a program for community-dwelling frail older adults, based integration primary care, geriatric medicine, and community resources, implemented in "real life". Interventional cohort study. Primary care Barcelona, Spain. Individuals aged ≥80 years (n=134), presenting at least one sign frailty (i.e., slow gait speed, weakness, memory complaints, involuntary weight loss, poor social support). Intervention: After screening by team, candidates...
Abstract Introduction Different remote interventions, such as applications (apps), have been used to continue promoting healthy ageing and preventing disability during the COVID-19 pandemic. The growing trend of apps in health is exponential may facilitate scaling up physical activity prescription. Numerous tools are available, but little known regarding their appropriateness, validation recommendation, especially for frail older adults. Methods In-house, we developed an application that...
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a degenerative, chronic and irreversible condition. Palliative medicine may play an important role in the care of patients with PD to maintain quality life. Scopolamine non-competitive antagonist at muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, which was used many years ago treatment for PD. To best our knowledge, there are no previously reported cases use scopolamine symptom relief end life The case here shows that subcutaneous useful alternative terminal cancer patient...
Background Stroke is a major cause of disability in older adults, but the evidence around post-acute treatment limited and heterogeneous. We aimed to identify profiles adult stroke survivors admitted intermediate care geriatric rehabilitation units. Methods performed cohort study, enrolling aged 65 years or older, 9 units Catalonia-Spain. To potential profiles, we included age, caregiver presence, comorbidity, pre-stroke post-stroke disability, cognitive impairment severity cluster analysis....
