Involvement of Older Adults, the Golden Resources, as a Primary Measure for Fall Prevention Clin. Interventions Aging (IF 3.6) Pub Date : 2023-12-22 Marina Arkkukangas
Abstract: Falls remain the second leading cause of injury-related deaths worldwide; therefore, longstanding practical fall-prevention efforts are needed. Falls can also lead to a reduction in independence and quality of life among older adults. Fall-prevention research has found that early prevention promotes a prolonged independence. However, it remains unknown which intervention is most beneficial

Risk Factors and Dynamic Nomogram Development for Surgical Site Infection Following Open Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy for Varus Knee Osteoarthritis: A Retrospective Cohort Study Clin. Interventions Aging (IF 3.6) Pub Date : 2023-12-19 Haichuan Guo, Bixuan Song, Ruijuan Zhou, Jiahao Yu, Pengzhao Chen, Bin Yang, Naihao Pan, Chengsi Li, Yanbin Zhu, Juan Wang
Background: As the worldwide population ages, the population receiving open wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) is growing, and surgical site infection (SSI) is a rare but fatal surgical complication. This study aimed to identify risk factors independently associated with SSI following OWHTO and develop a predictive nomogram. Methods: Clinical data of patients who received OWHTO and followed up for

Association of Frailty with Adverse Outcomes in Patients with Critical Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Retrospective Cohort Study Clin. Interventions Aging (IF 3.6) Pub Date : 2023-12-18 Weimin Bai, Taoke Huang, Xinying Li, Weiyang Gao, Ji Qin, Yongxin Bian, Weihao Xu, Juan Xu, Lijie Qin
Background: Frailty is a risk factor for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This study examined the association between the modified frailty index (MFI) and adverse outcomes in patients with critical AMI. Methods: Data were obtained from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV database. Logistic and Cox regression models and a competing risk model were applied. Results: Of 5003 patients

Aging Stigma and the Health of US Adults Over 65: What Do We Know? Clin. Interventions Aging (IF 3.6) Pub Date : 2023-12-15 Julie Ober Allen, Nadine Sikora
Abstract: This narrative review assessed the current state of research on aging stigma and health relevant to US adults ages 65 and older. We adopted a stigma framework to highlight aging stigma as a meaningful social construct and the complex ways in which it may be harmful for health. We identified 29 studies of various types (experimental, intervention, cross-sectional quantitative, longitudinal

The Effect of Tele-Savvy on Sleep Quality and Insomnia in Caregivers of Persons Living with Dementia Clin. Interventions Aging (IF 3.6) Pub Date : 2023-12-14 Glenna S Brewster, Melinda Higgins, Miranda Varrasse McPhillips, Kalisha Bonds Johnson, Fayron Epps, Katherine A Yeager, Donald L Bliwise, Kenneth Hepburn
Introduction: Sleep disturbance is prevalent in caregivers of persons living with dementia (PLwD). Tele-Savvy, a 7-week virtual psychoeducational intervention, enhances caregivers’ competence and self-care, and reduces depression. While not explicitly designed to do so, Tele-Savvy can potentially improve caregivers’ disturbed sleep. The present study aimed to examine the longitudinal effects of Tele-Savvy
