The objective of this study was to compare the effects a multisensory stimulation environment (MSSE) and individualized music sessions on agitation, emotional cognitive status, dementia severity in sample institutionalized patients with severe dementia. Twenty-two participants diagnosis or very were randomly assigned two groups: MSSE sessions. Both groups participated 30-min weekly over 16 weeks. Outcomes agitation (Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory, CMAI), mood (Cornell Scale for...
Frailty denotes a multidimensional syndrome that gives rise to vulnerability stressors and leads an increase of the age-related decline different physiological systems cognitive abilities. Aging-related alterations immune system may compromise its competence culminating in chronic low-grade inflammation state. Thus, it has been proposed frailty is associated with concentration pro-inflammatory molecules lymphocyte subpopulations. To provide further support validity hypothesis, we conducted...
Multisensory stimulation and individualized music have shown to be good in handling the psychological behavioral symptoms people with severe dementia.Explore effects of two nonpharmacological interventions, multisensory environment (MSSE) a Snoezelen room sessions, on mood, behavior, biomedical parameters institutionalized elderly patients dementia.Randomized trial 21 aged ≥65 years randomly assigned groups (MSSE music). Interventions administered two-weekly sessions lasted 30 minutes for...
Frailty is a multidimensional clinical geriatric syndrome that may be reversed in its early stages. Most studies have paid attention to physical or phenotypic boundaries, however, little known about the social aspects surrounding this syndrome. The study examined relationship between socio-demographic factors, resources, quality of life and frailty older adults. This cross-sectional included representative sample (n = 749) adults aged ≥65 years enrolled forty-three senior centers located...
To establish the possible relationship among three components of language (verbal fluency, naming and comprehension) cognitive impairment as well to determine usefulness assessment tests predict or monitor development impairment.A comparative, descriptive cross-sectional study was performed on 82 subjects ≥ 65 years age who were cognitively assessed with Mini Mental State Examination divided into two groups: Group A comprised classified levels 1, 2 3 Reisberg's Global Deterioration Scale...
Aging is associated with a decline in the normal functioning of immune system. Several studies described relationship between immunological alterations, including immunosenescence and inflammation, aging or age-related outcomes, such as sarcopenia, depression, neurodegenerative disorders. Physical activity known to improve muscle function exert number benefits on older adult health, reduced risk for heart metabolic system chronic diseases. However, positive influence physical has not been...
Malnutrition is a common and relevant syndrome in elderly people due to its influence on quality of life. The main aim the present study was identify health determinants malnutrition or risk malnutrition.Cross-sectional collecting information sociodemographic factors (co-morbidity, cognitive affective problems, prescription medication use, frailty status, self-rated health) as nutritional assessed by short form Mini Nutritional Assessment.Forty-three senior centres from Galicia...
Frailty has emerged as a reliable measure of the aging process. Because early detection frailty is crucial to prevent or even revert it, use biomarkers would allow an earlier and more objective identification frail individuals. To improve understanding biological features associated with well explore different for its identification, several genetic outcomes—mutagenicity, types damage, cellular repair capacity—were analyzed in population older adults classified into frail, prefrail,...
Effects of normal aging on pre-attentive detection changes in motion direction were evaluated. Young, middle-aged, and older subjects performed a visual central task while standard deviant gratings varying presented outside the focus attention. A greater negativity event-related potentials (ERPs) to deviants was observed all groups at posterior sites within N2 latency range. Visual mismatch (vMMN) reached its peak between 145 165 ms irrespective age. However, significant age-related vMMN...
One of the main causes for age-related declines in working memory is a higher vulnerability to retroactive interference due reduced ability suppress irrelevant information. However, underlying neural correlates remain be established. Magnetoencephalography was used investigate differential patterns young and older adults performing an interference-based task with two experimental conditions, interrupting distracting, during successful recognition. Behaviorally, both types significantly...
