Abstract:
In this study, we aimed to analyse the awareness and attitudes of dental students (DS) toward older adults (OAs) in Indonesia. Compromised oral health (OH) among OAs is a significant public health problem that is a global health burden. Furthermore, appropriate education can provide DS with information about strategic and efficient treatments for OAs. An online invitation was provided to every dental student in Indonesia in the third to sixth year of study to answer a web-based questionnaire as a part of a survey on awareness and attitudes (14 questions) towards OAs. From 1288 valid forms submitted, it was evident that most students (87%) expressed a positive attitude toward OAs. Female students showed a more positive attitude compared to males, with an odds ratio of 1.539 (p = 0.036), and students who had a connection to an older adult demonstrated a more positive attitude than those who did not (OR = 2.076; p < 0.001). The majority of the DS (98%) were conscious of the importance of geriatrics in dentistry, with female students showing more awareness than their male counterparts (OR = 2.553; p = 0.033). Positive awareness and attitudes must be accompanied by knowledge so that DS can offer appropriate and effective oral care to geriatric patients.

Abstract:
Abstract Facial appearance served great function in social interactions, especially for older adults in making trustworthiness judgements. Previous literatures have consistently shown that when making trustworthiness judgements older adults tended to rely more on facial cues rather than behaviors, due to declines in cognition. However, one question remains unsolved, whether older adults could make accurate trustworthiness judgements if evaluative information (with minimal memory load) is easily accessible. Sixty younger adults (YAs) and sixty older adults (OAs) were recruited, and asked to make investment decisions for different brokers in ninety-six trials. In each trial, brokers’ facial appearance (trustworthy and untrustworthy looking) and different behavioral evaluative information (good: Ninety percent positive evaluations, neutral: Fifty percent positive evaluations, bad: Ninety percent negative evaluations) were displayed simultaneously on screen to facilitate investment decisions. Brokers’ facial appearances and behaviors were set to be independent to each other. The results indicated that YAs’ and the majority of OAs’ proportions of correct investment increase, gradually reaching a stable high correction rate, although OAs needed more trials than did YAs. The findings extended prior work by suggesting that both OAs and YAs had similar abilities to distinguish different brokers according to easily accessible evaluative information. However, and surprisingly, a small subgroup of OAs (with low economic status) still had a lower correction rate even after ninety-six trials, suggesting that they could not distinguish brokers based on their evaluations at all, who might be at risk for fraud.

Abstract:
Abstract Past reappraisal studies have been equivocal regarding age and reappraisal efficacy potentially due to the use of laboratory-generated stimuli. We examined reappraisal in a more self-relevant context: negative autobiographical events. 49 younger adults (YA) and 47 older adults (OA) generated 50 negative memories and provided negativity, positivity, and vividness ratings. One to two weeks later, participants underwent the reappraisal task during which physiological data were collected. Participants implemented one of three instructions for 30 seconds: remember naturally, increase negative reactions, or decrease negative reactions via a “positivizing” tactic. Each instruction was provided for 10 unique memories with negativity, positivity, and vividness ratings collected after each trial. 2 (Age; YA, OA) × 3 (Instruction; Remember, Increase, Decrease) mixed ANOVAs uncovered no differences in negativity or vividness ratings before reappraisal. However, OAs rated all memories more positively than YAs. This age difference persisted after reappraisal; however, OAs rated all memories more negatively and vividly than YAs, although both decreased compared to pre-reappraisal levels. Cardiorespiratory data were tested via 2 × 3 mixed ANOVAs, uncovering only a main effect of age on average heart rate. A multilevel model revealed significant variability in the time-course of pupillary responses. 2 × 3 mixed ANOVAs illustrated that reappraisal brought about faster and more frequent spikes in pupil diameter, particularly for OAs. We conclude that OAs and YAs may achieve reappraisal in different ways. Contrary to strict hedonic orientations, OAs simultaneously maintain higher negativity and positivity than YAs challenging existing propositions regarding age-related prioritization of hedonic goals.

Abstract:
Abstract COVID-19 has created communication and socialization challenges for many older adults (OAs) living in community or institutional settings (CECs, IECs respectively) and their essential contacts (ECs). An essential contact is someone who provides emotional, physical, and social support for an older adult. While social distancing measures have decreased the spread and infection rate, these measures have placed strain upon communication and socialization needed for wellbeing which may increase the risk of loneliness and subsequently depression, cognitive functioning, and mortality among OAs. This study compared how general, in-person, and distanced communication between CECs and IECs has changed due to COVID-19. Self-identified ECs to OAs (N=546) completed a Qualtrics questionnaire via Amazon Mechanical Turk. Respondents (Age Range: 19-77; Mean=44.3; SD=14.2) were generally female (54.8%), white (81.0%), and CECs (57.3%). Pearson chi-square was used to evaluate the association between EC and communication type. Phi and Cramer’s V were used to measure effect size. IECs were significantly more likely than CECs to report much less general (41.6% vs. 10.7; medium effect) and in-person (60.0% vs. 22.4%; medium effect) social interaction due to COVID-19. IECs were significantly more likely to report much more distanced communication than CECs (42.8% vs 5.2%; small effect). Overall, this suggests community dwelling OAs’ communication and socialization were less impacted by COVID-19 distancing than institutionalized OAs. Thus, institutionalized OAs may be at greater risk for negative effects of social distancing. Future efforts need to focus on prioritizing ways for institutionalized adults to communicate with their ECs if social distancing is needed.

Abstract:
Abstract Background U.S. Medicare covers many palliative services; however, Iowa’s rurality and high rate of older adults (OAs) aged 65 or over make it unclear whether older Iowans have equitable service access. Hospital-based palliative care services (HBPCSs) include curative treatment, whereas other providers of palliative care may not. Thus, this study only examined OAs’ geographic access to HBPCSs in Iowa. Methods This study used the American Hospital Association and U.S. Census Bureau estimate in 2017. The geographical distribution of hospitals and HBPCSs was examined using a county-level approach, considering rural/urban status (using the Office of Management and Budget’s definitions) and OA population proportion. Results Of the 99 counties in Iowa, 89 were rural. Of the 116 hospitals statewide, one urban county and nine rural counties had no hospital. A total of 52 hospitals provided HBPCSs in 43 counties across nine urban and 34 rural counties. HBPCSs were primarily located in central Iowa, with northern and southern Iowa having the lowest access to HBPCSs. The OA population ratio was higher in counties without HBPCSs (19%) than HBPCSs (15.7%). All 54 counties with over a 20% OA population were concentrated in rural counties, while only 37% of these rural counties had HBPCSs. Conclusion This study suggests a regional imbalance of HBPCS providers for OAs in Iowa. Results showed that rural communities with a high ratio of OAs lack HBPCSs and suggest HBPCSs should be expanded at hospitals in northern and southern Iowa counties where many OAs live.

Abstract:
Abstract “Social distancing” and stay-at-home orders were enacted in many states in response to the spread of COVID-19. We sought to understand intergenerational differences in the impact of the initial COVID-19 restrictions on interactions, loneliness, and stress. Data was collected via online survey from individuals ages 18 and above during the period April 7-May 8, 2020. The predominantly female, White, and well-educated sample (n = 962) included 245 younger adults (YAs) ages 18-34, 374 middle-aged adults (MAs) ages 35-64, and 343 older adults (OAs) ages 65+, with overall mean age 51.67 (SD=20.257; range 18-96). Before the restrictions, 41% of these OAs infrequently/never interacted face-to-face with children, increasing to 74% after restrictions. Three quarters (77%) of YAs reported seeing OAs less often, but 42% reported increasing their connections with OAs via technology. About a third of MAs (35%) and OAs (36%) were lonely, compared to 48% of YAs (p = .003), and a higher percentage of YAs (57%) reported being “more lonely” now, compared to MAs (36%) and OAs (41%). OAs reported the least stress; 42% reported low/very low levels of stress compared to YAs (9%) and MAs (20%). All generations most often identified “being able to go places” as the thing they missed most, but it increased significantly with age (p &lt; .001), from YAs (32%), MAs (37%), to OAs (44%). More YAs (20%) than OAs (7%) reported missing “structure to their day.” Results of these intergenerational comparisons suggest the resilience of older adults is helping them during the current pandemic.

Abstract:
Age-related mobility research often highlights significant mobility differences comparing neurotypical young and older adults, while neglecting to report mobility outcomes for middle-aged adults. Moreover, these analyses regularly do not determine which measures of mobility can discriminate groups into their age brackets. Thus, the current study aimed to provide a comprehensive analysis for commonly performed aspects of mobility (walking, turning, sit-to-stand, and balance) to determine which variables were significantly different and furthermore, able to discriminate between neurotypical young adults (YAs), middle-aged adults (MAAs), and older adults (OAs). This study recruited 20 YAs, 20 MAAs, and 20 OAs. Participants came into the laboratory and completed mobility testing while wearing wireless inertial sensors. Mobility tests assessed included three distinct two-minute walks, 360° turns, five times sit-to-stands, and a clinical balance test, capturing 99 distinct mobility metrics. Of the various mobility tests assessed, only 360° turning measures demonstrated significance between YAs and MAAs, although the capacity to discriminate between groups was achieved for gait and turning measures. A variety of mobility measures demonstrated significance between MAAs and OAs, and furthermore discrimination was achieved for each mobility test. These results indicate greater mobility differences between MAAs and OAs, although discrimination is achievable for both group comparisons.

Abstract:
Abstract During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a rise in media messages (MMs) and interpersonal behaviors (IBs) that could have been considered as reflecting compassionate ageism (i.e., ageism that stems from perceptions of older adults [OAs] as warm but incompetent). However, it is unclear how OAs experienced these MMs and IBs during the pandemic. The current study examined how OAs perceived pandemic-related MMs and IBs. We recruited 74 community-dwelling OAs (Mage = 73.18, 58% female). Participants completed a survey in which they reported the extent to which they had encountered five MMs and nine IBs throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Then, participants rated whether they believed each MM and IB was motivated by care and how offended they were by it. Nearly all participants had encountered MMs about OAs’ vulnerability to COVID-19 (e.g., more likely to contract COVID-19, 97%; more likely to die from COVID-19, 97%). Furthermore, most participants experienced IBs emphasizing their vulnerability to COVID-19 (e.g., told by another person they had a higher likelihood of contracting COVID-19, 64%; someone had checked in on them unprompted, 63%). However, across MMs and IBs, most participants (59–100%) perceived them as motivated by care and concern, and a relatively small proportion (0–20%) reported being offended by them. Our findings underscore the importance of understanding nuances of ageism from the perspective of OAs themselves. Different forms of ageism (i.e., compassionate ageism, hostile ageism) rooted in certain stereotypes about older adults (i.e., high warmth-low competence) may uniquely shape the lived experiences of OAs.

Abstract:
Abstract Older adults (OAs), a wealthy but vulnerable segment of our population, are at risk to make compromised financial decisions. Evidence suggests that OAs increasingly use technology to perform everyday financial transactions, such as to manage their credit card statements. However, current tools are lacking in terms of assessing how older adults navigate and handle the online financial milieu. We will discuss the development of a novel, simulated online money management (OMM) credit card statement task. OMM examines OAs performance on several indices including reaction time, nature and frequency of errors, and their ability to comprehend and trouble shoot problems. Psychometric properties related to the reliability and validity will be discussed. Ultimately, by examining the longitudinal performance of OMM in OAs, we can better characterize the natural course of OMM. Such an approach will enable clinicians to accurately and objectively examine OMM and identify those at risk for making financial errors.

Abstract:
Abstract Challenges due to burden of disease can affect adherence to self-care behaviors and optimal health outcomes in those living with T2DM. This study utilized state- and national-level data from the 2015 BRFSS to compare QoL measured by the prevalence of physical and mental burden days among older adults (OAs) compared to younger adults living with T2DM. The results of our analysis showed that OAs living in the US were significantly less likely to experience at least one mental burden day when compared to their younger counterparts (OR =0.61, 95% CI: 0.58, 0.64), while gender, education, race, BMI, and depression, CVD, or another chronic condition were significantly associated with the odds of experiencing at least one mental burden day. Whereas, in Kentucky OAs were less likely to experience at least one mental burden day when compared to their younger counterparts (OR= 0.48, 95% CI: 0.35, 0.66). Gender, education, BMI, and depression were significantly associated with the odds of experiencing at least one mental burden day or one physical burden day. The findings of this study suggests that the questions used by BRFSS to measure QoL may not be the most suitable for OAs who likely have different criteria for self-reported mental or physical burden days. When assessing QoL or burden of disease among the aging at a population level, considerable thought should be given into the questions asked and if they appropriately examine patient-level QoL in this population.

Abstract:
Many elderly patients visiting the emergency department for minor injuries are not assessed for functional status and experience functional decline 6 months post injury. Identifying such high-risk patients can allow for interventions to prevent or minimize adverse health outcomes including loss of independence. For the purpose of a planned clinical decision rule to identify elderly patients at high risk of functional decline a survey of physicians was conducted. A random sample of 534 Canadian geriatricians, emergency and family physicians was selected with half randomly selected to receive an incentive. A response rate of 57.0% was obtained with 90% of physicians considering a drop in function of at least 2 points on the 28-point OARS ADL scale as clinically significant. A sensitivity of 90% would meet or exceed 90% of physicians' requirements for a clinical decision rule to identify injured seniors at high risk of functional decline 6 months post injury.

Abstract:
A major demographic shift is projected to begin in 2011 due to the retirement of those born between 1946 and 1965, or the post-World War II baby boomer generation. Due to this trend, it is pertinent for Canadian communities to concentrate on creating ‘senior-friendly’ spaces, infrastructure and support services. One such initiative throughout British Columbia is the establishment of 18 designated Senior Community Parks (SCPs) across the province in 2008. This case-study research project, taking place in Oak Bay, British Columbia on the grounds of the Henderson Recreation Centre (HRC), examines park visitation levels, types of utilization and effectiveness of park accessibility, and infrastructure. A mixed methods approach was employed combining seven park observations, sixty-five quantitative questionnaires completed by patrons of the Henderson Recreation Centre, and 16 qualitative interviews with community-dwelling older adults between the ages of sixty-one and eighty and with six staff members of the HRC. Results indicate steady but low park visitation amounts as only 55 total people were seen during observations. Almost all persons were observed walking or jogging and only one person was seen using the equipment within the park. Quantitative data revealed under-utilization of the park and a wide discrepancy between the number persons aware of the SCP (90.8%) and those that visit more than once a month (38.5%). Qualitative interviews uncovered aspects of the park favored by participants (chip trail, park upkeep, exercise opportunities) and those that require improvement (exercise equipment, awareness). Two infrastructural shortcomings were identified; signage and equipment stations. Based on results, the ineffectiveness of the outdoor exercise equipment and awareness of the SCP need to be investigated further.

Abstract:
Older adults (OAs) are a growing and dominant part of the global population, with specific communication and usability needs. Information technology, such as smartphone applications, has the potential to help OAs stay connected, yet some designs do not appeal to this group of users. Current recommendations for the design of usable smartphone applications for OAs can be hard to apply and difficult to interpret. As a result, designers of smartphone applications do not have a clear set of recommendations for the design of smartphones for OAs. In this paper we elicit and transform usability trends and difficulties experienced directly by tech-savvy 1 OA users, into an organised set of recommendations. To do this we conducted an empirical study in four stages: (1) Data extraction. Digital context is extracted through conducting Think Aloud sessions with tech-savvy OAs (aged 50+); (2) Data mapping. Digital content extractions are mapped against 7 key aspects of usability; (3) Validation. Validated mappings through inter-rater reliability testing; (4) Presentation. Presented resultant recommendations as design patterns. Applying this method resulted in a set of 131 Usability recommendations with some overlap, transformed into a set of 14 design patterns that can act as a starting point for designers and developers of smartphone applications for OAs, and for pedagogy. Three of these patterns are presented in this study.

Abstract:
Abstract With a policy mix that comprises of several major social programs, Canada’s pension system is among the best in the world in reducing poverty in old age and providing a high replacement rate for low-income retirees. In this chapter, we focus on the interaction between two closely related components of Canada’s pension system as a policy mix particularly successful at reducing old-age poverty: the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) and the Old Age Security (OAS) program. More specifically, we analyse the primary root of this policy success: the ‘failure’ to dismantle a program that was meant to be temporary, the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS); and its complementarity to the Old Age Security (OAS) program. The GIS was introduced in 1967, as a transitory measure to tackle expediently the prevalent poverty amongst Canadian seniors while expected to disappear with the maturation of the Canada Pension Plan/Québec Pension Plan. Not only was this program never abolished, it failed to generate the kind of stigma associated with social assistance benefits by virtue of linking the program with the quasi-universal OAS program. As a result of this policy design, it is an income-test program—not to be confused with a means-tested program where assets are also taken into consideration—where older adults feel they’reentitled OAS beneficiaries. The combination of OAS and GIS provides a relatively generous floor for retirees with limited resources. This points to the close and complementary relationship of key elements of the public pension policy mix in Canada.

Abstract:
Older Adult Education (OAE), which is considered as an effective way of dealing with social problems caused by aging society, has been widely adopted in many countries. One of the most challenging problem in OAE is curriculum development due to the unique features of OAE, such as the variety of requirements and background of older learners and multiplicity of the objectives of education providers. Fewer studies have been conducted on curriculum development for OAE, compared with those for regular school education. In this paper, we propose a collaboration-based curriculum development model, inspired by value co-creation model in service science. In the proposed model, the role of older learner is emphasized in that education providers collaborate with older learners in curriculum development, as business service providers collaborate with customers for value creation from service science perspective. We study the curriculum development in two representative OAE universities in China to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model.

Abstract:
Older adults are relatively physically active compared to other age group. A lack of physical activity (PA) can cause chronic diseases including osteoarthritis of knee (OA knee) and might eventually reduce quality of life (QOL). This present study was aimed to investigate association between levels of PA and OA knee with levels of QOL in community-dwelling older adults. One thousand and sixty-seven community-dwelling older persons were recruited to this descriptive study. PA activity questionnaire was invented. Standardized Oxford knee score and World Health Organization’s Quality of Life scale (WHOQOL-BREF) were used to measure OA knee and QOL levels. Results showed that levels of PA in older adults were significantly associated with levels of OKS (χ2 = 78.565, P-value < .001) and levels of OA knee in older adults were significantly associated with levels of overall QOL (χ2 = 57.738, P-value < .001). Pearson’s correlation also showed interrelation among PA, OA knee, and QOL. In conclusion, PA, OA knee, and QOL are interrelated. Therefore, close monitoring and design of proper PA activity should be implemented in community-dwelling older adults with OA knee.

Aging is a part of natural developmental process in the life of any living being. For human beings it is not just a biological phenomenon but it has psychological and social implications too. Some of the areas that would be affected include those related to health and health care, family composition, living arrangement, housing and migration. As a result of these socio-demographic evolutions and situations, older adults at times are forced to shift from their own homes to institutions/ Old age homes OAH. Living in OAH evokes a picture of apathy, dependence, and sadness which make the older adults increasingly vulnerable to mental health problems. Further there is also a strong need to develop suitable strategies to implement better mental health programmes and guidelines for the CMI in old age homes.
