The number of persons with 60 years and more worldwide is estimated to triple by 2050. With the raising burden of the mental health conditions that accompany population ageing, mental health care for older adults has to be under pined by a dignity and human rights based approach. The extraordinary number of human rights violations of the older population during the COVID-19 pandemic has come to the forefront, as consequence of this population vulnerability, the lack of political will to give prior attention to this group needs and the disseminated ageistic attitudes. Discrimination based on age can lead to catastrophic social consequences such as elder abuse, neglect and all forms of violences. Their access to services become reduced, including health, social and justice services. These negative attitutdes, more than only morally unacceptable, are source of unnecessary suffering and increase morbidity and mortality rate. Intersecting across psychiatric diagnoses and interventions are the principles of dignity, autonomy, respect and equality which are all at the base of the call for an United Nations Convention of Rights of the Older People. Keeping all thes points in mind, the World Pschiatric Association Section of Old Age Psychiatry and the International Psychogeriatric Association are working together to promote the Human Rights of Older Adults. The presentation of a webinar, the publication of joint position statements, the organization of symposia in several international congress and the publication of a recent special issue of the America Jornal of Geriatric Psychiatry (October 2021 - https://www.ajgponline.org/issue/S1064-7481(21)X0010-3) are some examples of this common effort.

SummaryAppropriate social and medical interventions may help maintain independence in older people. Determinants of functional decline, disability and reduced independence are recognized and specific interventions target the treatment of clinical conditions, multiple health problems and geriatric conditions, prevention of falls and fractures, and maintenance of physical and cognitive function and social engagement.Preventive strategies to identify and treat diverse unmet needs of older people have been researched extensively. We reviewed systematically recent randomized controlled trials evaluating these ‘complex’ interventions and incorporated the findings of 21 studies into an established meta-analysis that included 108,838 people in 110 trials. There was an overall benefit of complex interventions in helping older people to live at home, explained by reduced nursing home admissions rather than death rates. Hospital admissions and falls were also reduced in intervention groups. Benefits were largely restricted to earlier studies, perhaps reflecting general improvements in health and social care for older people. The wealth of high-quality trial evidence endorses the value of preventive strategies to help maintain independence in older people.

The article accentuates the relevance of social work with elderly as one of the unprotected categories of people. It was noted that after termination of active work older people need assistance in the period of adaptation to new conditions as their lifestyle changes, their social connections are lost, they have feeling of loneliness and lack of being relevant. The basic directions, forms and methods of social work with older people are considered in this article.

Abstract Satisfaction with any aspect of life is not easy to defined, and sometimes, it is still a topic of discussion. That is especially relevant for more excluded populations like older people. This research looked into how relevant the social support networks (SSNs) of older people are for their satisfaction with retirement, specifically in the Chilean context. It will identify some sufficient and necessary conditions for older people to be satisfied with retirement. This research focuses on 30 life histories of older people in Santiago, Chile. They were asked about their histories and SSNs. The analysis applied used a Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) with conditions from the Social Network Analysis (SNA). The results identify sufficient and necessary conditions to achieve satisfaction with retirement. It is highlighted some of the dimensions of SSNs and their reciprocities as relevant conditions for satisfaction with retirement.

The existing literature on social exclusion among older people, though relatively limited, suggests that disadvantage among older people is cumulative in nature. Some aspects of disadvantage starting at early life stages have long-term consequences. As such, older people with disadvantages may be subject to higher risks of persistent social exclusion. This article aims to improve understanding of social exclusion and its persistence among senior Australians in three ways. Firstly, the incidence of social exclusion among older people is analysed using selected indicators. Secondly, the study examines whether an older person experiencing social exclusion at one time is more likely to experience it again (persistence). Thirdly, it investigates what factors may be protecting older people from social exclusion. The analysis is conducted using the first eight waves of the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey. The sample of older people is disaggregated into a younger group (55–64 years at wave 1) and an older group (65+ years). The article suggests that higher education and income, as well as better health conditions and previous employment experiences, are important protective factors from social exclusion for older Australians.

Background: The global increase in the ageing population underscores the importance of a holistic approach to gerontological research. Social frailty, a state of vulnerability, is a growing concern that significantly affects the well-being and health outcomes of older people. With Hong Kong projected to have the world’s largest ageing population by 2050, research on social frailty within this demographic is crucial. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of social frailty among older adults in Hong Kong and examine its association with demographic characteristics. Methodology: A cross-sectional survey was conducted using data from an online survey on older adults in Hong Kong, yielding 200 respondents. The survey encompassed demographic details, the Social Frailty Scale (SFS-8), and health-related factors. Results: Participants were categorized into three groups: social non-frailty (SNF, 41.5%), social pre-frailty (SPF, 34.5%), and social frailty (SF, 24%). Spearman’s rank correlation analysis revealed that self-rated health status negatively correlates with social frailty (SF) (r = −0.19, p < 0.001) and the number of diagnosed health conditions (r = −0.29, p < 0.001) but positively correlates with education level (r = 0.14, p < 0.05). Notably, the SPF group exhibited the highest prevalence of high cholesterol, hypertension, visual impairments, and diabetes, followed by the SF and SNF groups. No significant relationship was found between gender and SF, the total number of diagnosed health conditions and SF, or individual chronic diseases and SF. Conclusion: This survey on social frailty among older people in Hong Kong found a higher prevalence of pre-frail and socially frail individuals compared to other regions. While many benefit from strong social support, socially pre-frail and socially frail individuals have reduced interactions, highlighting the importance of social connectedness. The higher incidence of social frailty, especially among the pre-frail, underscores the need to consider Hong Kong’s unique socio-cultural and economic contexts. As the first of its kind in the region, this study paves the way for further research and emphasizes the need for culturally appropriate assessment tools to better understand and address social frailty.

Abstract More than 50% of people with HIV (PWH) are at least 50 years old. PWH experience a high prevalence of multiple chronic conditions and fragile social structures. Although social engagement may be protective against detrimental physical, cognitive, and mental health outcomes, there is limited evidence on older PWH’s social engagement and associated factors in engaging with family, friends, and community. This study sought to examine social engagement in a population of older PWH, using the 13-item Frequency of Leisure Activities Scale from the Research on Older Adults with HIV (ROAH 2.0) study at the Weill Cornell Campus in New York City. We conducted factor and regression analyses to characterize social engagement activities and examine their relationships with AIDS diagnosis, social vulnerability index (SVI), financial strain, loneliness, HIV-related stigma, and depressive symptoms, controlling for demographic factors. PWH (n=349, age range=50-84) were less engaged in social (Mean=1.31; SD=0.71) and cultural-physical (e.g. attending cultural events) (Mean=1.55; SD=0.78) than media-based activities (Mean=3.09; SD=0.72), with Omega reliability estimated at 0.716, 0.651, and 0.620 respectively. Having AIDS, experiencing increased HIV-related stigma, loneliness, and depressive symptoms were associated with low social activity engagement (F(6, 316) = 9.87, p < .001). High SVI score and financial strain were negatively associated with engagement in cultural-physical activities (F(5, 317) = 2.61, p < .001). Increased depressive symptoms were negatively associated with engagement in media-based activities (F(4, 318) = 5.88, p < .001). The findings provide foundations for future research to improve our understanding of social engagement in older PWH.

The key factor for the effective development of business entities in market conditions is the issue of activating innovation and entrepreneurship, because in this way it is possible to significantly increase the economic efficiency of a given entity, improve the financial situation and, consequently, increase tax revenues to the state budget. In addition, the improvement of business and social relations between enterprises and state and self-government authorities is also particularly important. In connection with the above, the importance of chambers of commerce acting as the integrators of the business community, self-government and state authority institutions and other public entities is growing. One of such chambers of commerce is the Industrial and Commercial Congregation of the Polish Chamber of Commerce, which also integrates the business community with the institutions of locally operating local government units and the regional economic chambers cooperating with them, which mainly associate locally operating entrepreneurs. As part of its activities, the Industrial and Commercial Congregation of the Polish Chamber of Commerce organizes periodically implemented meetings, conferences and congresses, during which debates regarding the need for systemic improvement of economic, normative, fiscal, etc. conditions are made to small and medium-sized companies in the trade sector operating in Poland. The main events integrating entrepreneurs, local government, economists, people of art and politicians organized periodically by the Polish-American Chamber of Commerce and Industry are the Congresses of Polish Economy and the Congresses of Modern Economy. One of the last events of this type was the Jubilee XIV Congress of Polish Economy organized on June 21, 2017 in Warsaw on the occasion of the 15th anniversary of the Polish-Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry. This Congress, which is the subject of the next chapter of this study, continued the problems raised during debates taking place during previous KPH OIG Congresses.

Purpose This paper is an evaluated case study of the Wellbeing Coordinator (WBC) service in Cheshire, UK. WBCs are non-clinical members of the GP surgery or hospital team who offer advice and support to help people with long-term conditions and unmet social needs remain independent at home. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach A mixed method design assessed the outcomes of care for recipients and carers using interviews, diaries and validated wellbeing measures. Service utilization data, interviews and observations of WBC consultations enabled investigation of changes in processes of care. Data were analysed using simple descriptive statistics, established instrument scoring systems and accepted social science conventions. Findings The WBC complements medical approaches to supporting people with complex health and social care problems, with support for carers often a key service component. Users reported improvements in their wellbeing, access to social networks, and maintenance of social identity and valued activities. Health and social care professionals recognized the value of the service. Practical implications The WBC concept relieves the burden on health and social care professionals as the social elements of ill-health are addressed. A shift in thinking from ill-health to wellbeing means older people feel more able to regain control over their own lives, being less dependent on consulting professionals. Originality/value The WBC is a new service focussing on the individual in their health, social and economic context. Process and outcomes evaluations are rare in this field.

Abstract Objectives Multimorbidity is common among older adults from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Social participation has a role in protecting against negative health consequences, yet its association with multimorbidity is unclear, particularly in LMICs. Thus, this study investigated the relationship between physical multimorbidity and social participation among older adults across 6 LMICs. Method Cross-sectional, community-based data including adults aged 65 years and older from 6 LMICs were analyzed from the WHO Study on Global AGEing and adult health survey. The association between 11 individual chronic conditions or the number of chronic conditions (independent variable) and social participation (range 0–10 with higher scores indicating greater social participation; dependent variable) was assessed by multivariable linear regression analysis. Results 14,585 individuals (mean age 72.6 [SD 11.5] years; 54.9% females) were included. Among individual conditions, hearing problems, visual impairment, and stroke were significantly associated with lower levels of social participation. Overall, an increasing number of chronic conditions was dose-dependently associated with lower levels of social participation (e.g., ≥4 vs 0 conditions: β = −0.26 [95% CI = −0.39, −0.13]). The association was more pronounced among males than females. Discussion Older people with multimorbidity had lower levels of social participation in LMICs. Future longitudinal studies are warranted to further investigate temporal associations, and whether addressing social participation can lead to better health outcomes among older people with multimorbidity in LMICs.

Abstract Purpose: To explore a self-report measure of social network features among a sample of older people living with multiple chronic conditions based on the conceptual model of Social Network Influences on Health. Design: A cross-sectional descriptive study design using a telephone survey methodology was used. Methods: An exploratory principle component analysis with a varimax rotation was performed on items that measured the identified components (reciprocity, size, proximity, density, general activation, activation when sick, duration, closeness, involvement in health, interaction frequency) of social networks. All items were standardized prior to analyses. Results: Self-report social network data were collected from eighty-four older people living in the community and managing multiple chronic conditions. The principal components model, operationalized as tie strength, contained six items based on factorability: reciprocity, social network size, proximity, density and perception of the activation in general and when sick of close social network members. Results yielded acceptable factorability (KMO = 0.781, Bartlett p 0.70). Two components that had eigenvalues greater than 1.0, explained 61.7% of the total variance. The first factor was interpreted as total social network resources, while the second factor was identified as social network availability. Conclusion: Exploratory principal component analysis supports a measure of social network features, tie strength, that can be tested in future studies. Assessing these variables is useful in identifying specific relationship features critical to managing chronic conditions in older age and advances current measurement of social networks important to living well in older age.

Abstract Background and Objectives While older adults’ social participation has attracted sustained attention, the realities faced by seniors with impairments in this area are still understudied. Social representations are formed from socially constructed opinions regarding a given object and have four functions (knowledge, identity, orientation, justification). The purpose of this article is to document the social representations that exist within seniors’ organizations regarding participation by older people with impairments. Research Design and Methods In this mixed-methods study, an exploratory sequential design was applied. First, a qualitative phase involved meetings with five focus groups to explore how participants would manage difficult situations in which the inclusion of an older person with impairments must be addressed. Second, a quantitative phase consisted of a questionnaire administered to 86 respondents to examine the components of social representations about the participation of older people with impairments. Results Results show that, although research participants acknowledge that all seniors have the right to participate, this right confronts a collective identity infused with aging model that demands a youthful, “un-disabled” appearance and activities. In terms of the orientation function, making participation a reality is seen as relying on the efforts of people with impairments, but when there is a failure of inclusiveness, the reasons offered to justify it concern the resources available, rather than possible prejudices. Discussion and Implications Interpretation of the results leads to recommendations for both implementing an inclusion philosophy and practices in seniors’ organizations and revisiting the view of impairment in old age as otherness.

The relevance of the problem of social services for the elderly lies in the fact that the population of developed countries is steadily aging, and the change in social status in old age, associated primarily with the restriction or termination of labor activity, revision of values and attitudes, changes in lifestyle and communication, causes certain difficulties. in social, domestic and psychological adaptation to new living conditions, which makes older people the most socially vulnerable category of the population and, in this regard, requires the development of special approaches, methods and forms of social work with older people.

The burden of oral health care increases among older people, with a profound challenge in utilising dental services in primary dental care settings. This study aimed to analyse two decades of nationwide hospital separation patterns due to oral health-related conditions among older people. Ageing population data were obtained from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, including people aged 65 years and older. All principal diagnoses of oral health conditions (ICD-10-AM) were analysed in this study. The hospitalisation data included all separations of older people for the financial years 1998–1999 to 2018–2019. A total of 205,461 hospital separations were recorded for older people over a period of twenty-one years. More than 60% of these separations were collectively attributed to dental caries, disorders of teeth and supporting structures, diseases of the jaws, diseases of the pulp and periapical tissues. However, the average rate of separations per 10,000 people due to dental caries was the highest among the dental conditions (8.68). Furthermore, the remaining oral health-related conditions predict an annual percentage increase in the rate that would compromise their oral health quality of life. Dental caries and its sequela seem to be the leading cause for oral health-related hospital admissions in Australia for people aged 65 and older. This could be an indicator of the inadequacy of disease management in the primary dental care setting.

This paper examines the changed social circumstances of older people in South Korea and specifically the increased need for formal health and social services for those who are frail and have no informal carers. The article begins with a summary account of the country's exceptionally rapid demographic, economic and social transformations, which demonstrates a widening gap between the population's expectations and needs, and health and social service provision. It then examines the recently initiated and now burgeoning welfare programmes, with particular attention to health and social services for sick and frail older people. Most extant care services are accessed mainly by two minorities: the very poor and the rich. The dominant policy influence of physicians and a history of conflict between traditional and western medicine probably underlies the low current priority for ‘care’ as opposed to ‘cure’, as also for the management of chronic conditions and rehabilitation. Neither long-term care services nor personal social services are well developed. There is a marked disparity between the acute services, which are predominantly provided by private sector organisations in a highly competitive market and broadly achieve high standards, and public primary care and rudimentary residential services. The latter are weakly regulated and there are many instances of low standards of care.

The article deals with the main problems of older people in the conditions of modern Russian reality. The relevance of the stated topic of scientific research is due to the increase in the proportion of older people in society. Advances in healthcare, an increase in the level and quality of life, an increase in life expectancy, and a decrease in the birth rate have led to a significant increase in the proportion of elderly people in the structure of society. With the help of comparative, sociological and statistical methods, the current position of older people in society, their main problems, standard of living and well-being were analyzed. It has been determined that elderly citizens, as a specific socio-demographic group, are characterized by their psychological characteristics, the presence of certain problems, different levels of health, education and a wide variety of interests. The main problems, as a rule, inherent in this category of the population are singled out: deterioration in health, mental and emotional state, loneliness, low standard of living and well-being. The level and quality of life of the older generation is also important in shaping their physical well-being and mental state. According to the Natixis study, the Russian Federation ranks 38th out of 44, which is one of the last in the ranking of the well-being of older people. Therefore, one of the most important problems in the life of Russian pensioners is the low level of material support. For most older people, pensions are the main source of income. The size of state pensions is insufficient to pay for the growing costs of medicines, food, housing and communal services. Good health is a priority in a person's life, but in old age, health deteriorates significantly, which leads to the emergence of medical and social problems. According to statistics, as a result of examination, each aged person has from 3 to 8 chronic diseases, as well as the presence of such body disorders that lead to disability. Cardiovascular disease, respiratory system disease, vision problems, amnesia, diabetes are the most common ailments in older people.

ABSTRACTDue to demographic changes and a widely supported policy of ageing in place, the number of community-dwelling older people will increase immensely. Thus, supportive neighbourhoods enabling older people to age in place successfully are required. Using Q-methodology, we examined older people's perceptions of the comparative importance of neighbourhood characteristics for ageing in place. Based on the World Health Organization's Global Age-friendly Cities guide, we developed 26 statements about physical and social neighbourhood characteristics. Thirty-two older people in Rotterdam, half of whom were frail, rank-ordered these statements. Q-factor analysis revealed three distinct viewpoints each among frail and non-frail older people. Comparisons within and between groups are discussed. Although both frail and non-frail older people strongly desired a neighbourhood enabling them to age in place, they have divergent views on such a neighbourhood. Older people's dependence on the neighbourhood seems to be dynamic, affected by changing social and physical conditions and levels of frailty.

Involuntary movements become increasingly common with age and often lead to considerable disability, handicap and social embarrassment. Many causes of involuntary movements can be readily treated once the correct diagnosis is established. Getting the diagnosis right in older people is often challenging even for specialists. Even the identification of conditions thought easy to classify in younger people, such as Parkinson's disease, can be very difficult in older adults. This burden of movement disorder in older people reflects the increasing prevalence of neurodegenerative and vascular disease with age as well as the growing exposure to medication and the natural history of conditions such as essential tremor, which tend to worsen with age and precipitate medical presentation later in life. A complex and poorly understood relationship exists between motor control, disorders of mood and cognitive function. In older subjects involuntary movements are often associated with gait abnormalities and poor mobility and falls may be the presenting feature.

The involvement of service users as active participants is a stated aim of many current developments within health and social care, and self-assessment has been identified as a key mechanism. For over 15 years, the UK Department of Health has referred to the importance of the service user's views in assessment, and this has been re-emphasized recently in guidance issued to both local authorities social services and the NHS. The concept of the expert patient and the promotion of self-care amongst people with long-term conditions are also highlighted as central to current NHS development. Although not specified as such, self-assessment is an important component of these person-centred initiatives which encourage self-diagnosis, self-monitoring and self-management.

ABSTRACTThe share of older migrants in Dutch cities is increasing. However, only limited knowledge has been gained about the urban conditions that older migrants live in and how these compare to those of their native Dutch counterparts. This paper contributes to filling this knowledge gap using detailed information on residential patterns, housing conditions and levels of neighbourhood deprivation in the city of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, and links this information to data about housing and neighbourhood satisfaction and perceived safety. Empirical evidence demonstrates that there is strong path dependence with regard to the places in which one finds different groups of older non-Western migrants. Older non-Western migrants in Amsterdam are highly concentrated in disadvantaged neighbourhoods. The number of concentrations has increased significantly over the past decade, as well as the concentration levels. Nevertheless, we did not find indications of social isolation. With regard to housing conditions, we found better conditions for socio-economically similar groups of native Dutch and Surinamese 55+ residents, compared to Turkish and Moroccan 55+ residents. These conditions correspond with levels of housing satisfaction. Surinamese older people are more positive about their neighbourhoods. We hypothesise that this is related to the restructuring of neighbourhoods where Surinamese 55+ residents are concentrated. Although the immediate environment of older non-Western people is characterised by high levels of social deprivation, this does not translate into dissatisfaction with social relations or feelings of lack of safety. This suggests that their residential concentration in particular urban neighbourhoods may also bring significant opportunities.

SUMMARYOral health plays a pivotal role in general health, especially in older people. Oral diseases may affect the development of systemic conditions, such as diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, stroke and hypertension. The most important oral health conditions that have been recorded in dental literature for older population include tooth loss, dental caries, periodontal diseases, xerostomia (dry mouth) and oral cancer. Edentulism influences social life, either causing aesthetic problems or affecting functional abilities, such as speaking, chewing and eating. Dental caries in older people is similar to that in people in their thirties. Socio-economic status and living area play a key role in the development of dental caries. In addition, the accumulation of several risk factors, such as plaque or systemic diseases, acts synergistically in the onset of periodontal disease in seniors. Furthermore, older people, mainly due to their medications, exhibit a reduced amount of saliva. Xerostomia causes difficulties in chewing, speaking and swallowing, and it has a substantial impact on older people’s lives. The prevalence of oral cancer is 1-10 per 100,000 patients, and several factors (smoking, alcohol, education, economic status) play crucial role. Limited data exists today that evaluates oral health conditions of seniors in the Balkan countries. Aging and socio-economic status of seniors in the Balkans are significantly associated with oral health problems.

Purpose The steady rise in aged population has brought many challenges such as social, economic and health care that confront of the older people in their later life. The purpose of this study is to understand the nature of challenges among the older people and to assess the role of social security programmes for the welfare of the older people. The qualitative descriptive research has been applied in this paper. Design/methodology/approach The qualitative descriptive research has been applied in this paper. The study was conducted in a sample of 220 elderly living in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, using purposive sampling. The study was based on interviews. The order of questions and samples depended on the information flow during the interviews. The purposes of using the qualitative descriptive research in the present study are to satisfy the researcher’s curiosity and desire for better understanding to discuss the challenges faced by older people (these challenges are social vulnerability, poor economic conditions, poor health and no familiarity with government programmes), to understand the practicability of the study in extensive way and to explain why any phenomenon occurs or why older people face problems in later life. Findings The first finding demonstrates that the different challenges among older people such as social, economic and health challenges are affecting their way of life and sense of well-being and are fracturing their social bonds from the family and society. The second finding indicates that only 46.3% older people are benefitted from government pension programmes schemes. While the numbers of older people are unknown from other government welfare programmes such as health programmes, concession for older people and maintenance and welfare of parent and senior citizen act are not able to work properly due to lack of awareness and lack of proper communication between older people and government bodies. Originality/value This is an original work of the author. The research work is based on primary data that examine the nature of challenges such as health, economic and social challenges faced by older people in later life and impact of these problems on the well-being of older people.

Abstract Living environment is considered to have unignorable effect on our health and well-being, especially when we face shrinkage of mobility as we age. Social interaction with neighbors constitutes our social environment, and it may affect our well-being by interacting with other social resources such as support from family and professional care providers. In this study we examined the effect of social environment in neighborhood on older people’s well-being, and how its effect is moderated by their family structure, functional conditions, and LTC service usage. Data was obtained from the survey conducted in 2012 with nationally representative sample of Japanese adults aged 60 years and older. The results showed that for people with functional limitation but were not certified as needing LTC, neighborhood social network was positively associated with well-being. These results suggest the unique function of neighbors for frail people to keep everyday life in the community.

The article analyzes statistics and trends in the development of social networks in Ukraine in recent years. The important role of social networks as a source of information, primarily news, in the conditions of the Russian-Ukrainian war has been proven. It was found that among social networks for obtaining information since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Russia into the territory of Ukraine, Telegram is gaining more and more popularity among Ukrainian users, ahead of YouTube and Facebook. Social networks are used more by young people than older generations, but there is a trend of increasing the social network audience among older people to obtain information during the war. Statistical data on the use of social networks and messengers for receiving news are provided, and their rating in 2022—2023 is analyzed. The criteria by which users search for information on the Internet are highlighted. It was emphasized that the majority of Ukrainians in forced emigration abroad receive information about news in Ukraine primarily from messengers and social networks. Attention is drawn to the growing risks of news consumption in social networks in war conditions: disinformation, fake news, bot farms, etc., which prompts users to carefully analyze events.

Objective: To examine how neighborhood-based cognitive and structural social capital are associated with individual quality of life among a sample of community-dwelling older adults in Singapore. Method: Using survey data from 981 older adults (aged 55 years and above) in nine residential neighborhoods, multilevel models simultaneously estimated the effects of independent variables at the individual and neighborhood levels on quality of life (CASP-12). Results: Social cohesion (β = 1.39, p < .01) and associational membership (β = 19.16, p < .01) were associated with higher quality of life in models adjusted for neighborhood facilities and individual sociodemographics, social networks, functional limitations, global cognitive status, and medical conditions. Discussion: The results suggest that place-based or neighborhood social capital may be important for older person’s well-being. It identifies the contribution of structural (associational membership) and cognitive (social cohesion) social capital to the well-being of community-dwelling older adults in Singapore.

Introduction. Healthcare for the elderly in Ukraine is currently an urgent societal issue. As our nation ages, it becomes increasingly important to focus on supporting and ensuring the well-being of the older generation. Like many other countries, Ukraine faces various challenges in meeting the healthcare needs of its elderly citizens. Research on social responsibility and support in this context has the potential to help identify gaps in the current systems and develop effective strategies to ensure the health and quality of life of the elderly population in Ukraine. This will provide a better understanding of the role of public policy, public initiatives, and healthcare services in providing adequate support for the older generation. A comprehensive study of the state of health of the elderly population in Ukraine under the conditions of war becomes a vital tool for decision-making by policymakers, the provision of healthcare services, and the work of humanitarian organizations. It underscores the unique challenges facing this social group and emphasizes the urgent need for targeted support and intervention. Additionally, it will contribute to addressing the specific needs of the elderly population and directing efforts towards creating a more inclusive and healthy society. Goal. Identifying specific health issues, social dynamics, and support systems for older people, including those affected by war. The research aims to inform humanitarian efforts, promote social responsibility, and ultimately enhance the health and well-being of older individuals. Structural methods, comparative analysis, empirical reliance on data, abstract-logical generalization, as well as statistical and sociological methods were used to solve this scientific problem. The results. he main trends regarding the aging of the population of Ukraine have been identified. The main risks for the health of the elderly in war conditions have been identified and described. The role of social responsibility in maintaining the health of the elderly has been clarified. The main types of support for the elderly, as well as the directions for their implementation in maintaining health, have been determined. Conclusions. Ensuring a quality life for older people, including health care, social participation, and protection from discrimination, is a moral imperative. Ensuring a quality life for older people, including health care, social participation and protection from discrimination, is a moral imperative. Given the challenging situation in Ukraine, it is imperative for the government, civil society organizations, and the international community to collaborate in providing comprehensive support to the elderly. This support should encompass access to healthcare and social services while also contributing to the reconstruction of the economy and infrastructure to enhance their quality of life. Keywords: health, elderly people, population aging, social responsibility, social support. war, Ukraine.

Social policy toward old people in Poland — conditions, development and directions of changesSocial policy shapes people’s living conditions. In the era of dynamic demographic changes, especially the aging of the population observed in Poland and across the world, the activity of the state focused on improving the quality of life of the elderly is particularly important. Population aging is a demographic process of increasing the proportion of older people while reducing the proportion of children in the society of a given country. Elderly people will continue to be a part of society, mainly due to the progress of civilization, advances in modern medicine and the popularization of so-called healthy living.Social policy toward the elderly should not be limited to managing the social security system and social welfare. Eff ective use of human and social capital of the elderly will be a growing challenge for this policy, and for senior citizens — spending satisfactorily the last years of one’s life. However, for some senior citizens, old age means or will mean poverty and living on the margins of civil society. The Ministry of Family, Labor and Social Polic y is responsible for the social policy of people in Poland, off ering for example in the years 2014–2020 to senior citizens such programs as “Senior +”, the Government Program for Social Activity of the Elderly ASOS or “Care 75+.” Each of the above programs have appropriate criteria that must be met to be able to use them. Are older people eager to use them, or are the eff ects of these programs already visible? This study will attempt to answer the above questions. The main purpose of the article is to diagnose and analyze selected government programs targeted at older people. In addition, perspectives for changes in social policy toward older people in Poland will be determined.

Multimorbidity is defined biomedically as the co-existence of two or more long-term conditions in an individual. Globally, the number of people living with multiple conditions is increasing, posing stark challenges both to the clinical management of patients and the organisation of health systems. Qualitative literature has begun to address how concurrency affects the self-management of chronic conditions, and the concept of illness prioritisation predominates. In this article, we adopt a phenomenological lens to show how older people with multiple conditions experience illness. This UK study was qualitative and longitudinal in design. Sampling was purposive and drew upon an existing cohort study. In total, 15 older people living with multiple conditions took part in 27 in-depth interviews. The practical stages of analysis were guided by Constructivist Grounded Theory. We argue that the concept of multimorbidity as biomedically imagined has limited relevance to lived experience, while concurrency may also be erroneous. In response, we outline a lived experience of multiple chronic conditions in later life, which highlights differences between clinical and lay assumptions and makes the latter visible.

Research attention has turned towards investigating the motivations and experiences of those who volunteer under conditions that benefit both giver and recipient. The purpose of this paper is to examine the motivation of 22 older volunteers as they embarked on training to become lay leaders of an arthritis self-management programme. Data were collected through semi-structured telephone interviews at two points in time, before training and six weeks after training. Volunteerism was motivated by three key needs: to fill the vocational void left by retirement, to feel a useful member of society by helping others and to find a peer group. These key motivations remained important throughout the six weeks of the study. The costs of volunteering were perceived as time, responsibility, invasion of social life, failure, anxiety, and the duration and intensity of training. Nonetheless, older volunteers valued finding a purpose, reported less pain and an increased desire to ‘get on with life'. Results suggest that volunteering in later life can help to offset losses associated with retirement and decline in health. Further research, incorporating standard measures of health status, is needed if the impact of volunteering on the health of this study population is to be more fully understood.

Interventions for older people are often not evaluated and, if evaluated, are not proven successful. Based on a systematic literature review and two qualitative studies about the social needs of older people, an intervention has been developed, implemented, and evaluated. Important social needs that emerged from these studies are connectedness, meaningfulness, and independence. Samsam, the developed intervention, aims to fulfil these needs. Samsam is a place where older (native Dutch speaking) people teach the Dutch language to expats, refugees, and immigrants. Two group interviews and one interview with a total of seven older participants were held to find out what the experiences are with this intervention to fulfil the social needs of older people. After analysis, three themes emerged: (1) The general experience of Samsam, (2) connectedness, and (3) meaningfulness and status. Results indicate that the volunteers are content with the conditions of the intervention, although it is sometimes hard work. The older participants indicated that helping other people and contributing to society is important for them. The intervention also has a strong social and fun element which contributes to their feeling of connectedness. The intervention fulfils various social needs, such as connectedness, meaningfulness, and status. When participating in Samsam, participants feel connected to each other, to the students, and to society. The older participants want to have meaningful lives and use their skills and talents. Samsam offers possibilities for them to do so. We further found that participants have some common characteristics such as an openness to others and to other cultures. An openness towards others and to society helps older people to connect. Most interventions focus on stimulating contact between older people, primarily on their need for affection. We conclude that meaningfulness and status are important social needs. Successful interventions for older people should focus more on fulfilling these needs—for example, by engaging in purposeful activities. It becomes easier to connect when a person feels useful.

Background: The quality of well-being of the older population is a crucial determinant of successful aging as well as the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG target 3). However, the impact of psychosocial-spiritual factors on well-being is affected by the level of general health conditions in the older population. Previous studies have focused more on the physical health and psychological well-being nexus, but the role of general health conditions in mediating the association between psychosocial-spiritual factors and well-being in the older population in Africa was not investigated. This study, therefore, examined the psychosocial-spiritual factors associated with well-being in the older population in Africa with a focus to determine the contribution of all the psychosocial-spiritual factors when mediated by general health conditions. Methods: In this regard, a quantitative research methodology was adopted using a descriptive survey. A total of 833 elderly people with a mean age of f 68.04±6.71 years were recruited, comprising 484 females and 399 males in five municipalities. Results: The findings revealed that general health conditions, quality of life, social support, and social network are significantly associated with well-being in older people. Furthermore, the mediating effect of general health conditions had an inverse association with well-being. Conclusion: Accordingly, a commitment to quality of life, healthcare services, social support, and family social network is effective for Africa to achieve healthy lives and promote well-being for individuals of all ages.

The worlds population is ageing rapidly. Estimates by the United Nations (UN) and World Health Organization (WHO) suggest that between 2015 and 2050, the proportion of the world's older adults will almost double from about 12% to 22% [1]. In absolute terms, this is an expected increase from 900 million to 2 billion people over the age of 60. Older people face unique physical and mental health challenges that need to be recognized. Mental health and well-being are particularly important in older age. While most have good mental health, many older adults are at high risk of developing mental and neurological disorders, as well as other medical conditions. Similarly, as people age, they are more likely to experience a number of conditions at the same time [2]. Besides, there are numerous social, psychological, and ecological factors that can impact the mental wellbeing of older people.

The article considers a number of issues of state policy in the field of social security and integration of older people in the Republic of Azerbaijan – an analysis of the demographic situation in the country, strengthening the financial stability of the pension and insurance systems, the social insurance system, as well as regulating the employment of older people based on forecasting trends in the field of aging, along with compulsory state insurance, the possibility of using voluntary insurance is also being explored. It is shown that one of the most important means of increasing the opportunities for social integration of older citizens is the development of non-formal education and advanced training of specialists in the provision of social, medical, and other types of services to the population. Purpose: to study the features of state policy in the field of social protection and integration of older people. Methodology: The current state of state policy in the field of social protection and integration of older people and ways to improve it based on a systematic approach, analysis of statistical data, and analysis of documents (laws), as well as opportunities for obtaining new knowledge are being studied. Scientific novelty: In addition to compulsory state insurance, the introduction of voluntary insurance creates conditions for a decent pension. The use of voluntary social insurance leads to the need to create non-state pension funds, which, in turn, determines the interaction between pension systems and financial markets. One of the most important means of increasing the opportunities for social integration of older citizens is the development of non-formal education for older people.

In this article, I explore the convergence of sociometry and gerontology in order to demonstrate successful practices and to suggest alternative approaches in interacting with elderly people, which would result in stabilizing and improving their mental health and emotional status. As elderly people may experience various psychological conditions, applying sociometry requires innovative approaches and a certain flexibility in the application of some of the techniques. The article specifically deals with older adults residing in long-term care communities and my personal experience in creating and implementing therapeutic modalities for the older population. In this article, “older adults” are those older than 65 years. The “elderly” are those aged 85+ years. The approaches and techniques described in this article are adapted and effective for elderly people at any age.

Corporate social responsibility is a concept responding to climate change, environmental problems and the needs of stakeholders. Business makes an effort to act in the changing conditions, thus adapting to the expectations of the stakeholders and following the principles of sustainable economic development and social responsibility. One of the changes taking place in the current economic and social world is the change in the demographic structure of the population. The subject of the ageing population is often discussed, usually as a negative aspect in the context of changes in the pension system, health care costs or the employment conditions of older people. The principles of corporate social responsibility, such as social inclusion, anti-discrimination, and facilitating access to products and services create the basis for the development of the economy, focused on the use of the purchasing potential of older people. Thus, the perception of the demographic changes in this context becomes the ground for the formation of perspective solutions and the development of the silver economy. This model of the economy can be understood as a system which is based on adapting the production and distribution of products and services to older people. The main aim of this article is to present the challenges for companies in terms of the problems connected with an ageing population, as well as to present the main features of the concept of the silver economy in the context of corporate social responsibility. Moreover, considering the development of the silver economy, characteristics of older people as consumers should be taken into account. In this context, there are many stereotypes associated with the activities of the elderly. The article also notes the profile of potential customers of the silver economy, with a particular emphasis on the approach of the elderly to innovation, tradition and a broadly understood sense of security.

Population aging is an objective global process that is characterized by an increase in the absolute and relative number of older people and a decreasing birth rate. The relevance of this study is that at the beginning of 2019, 146.781 million people lived in Russia, including 68.097 million men and 78.684 million women. Children aged 0 to 9 years - more than 18 million, teenagers from 10 to 19 years - more than 14.7 million people, young people from 20 to 29 years - more than 17.3 million people, 40-year-olds (40-49 years) - almost 20.3 million people, Rosstat calculated. There are 19.8 million pre-retirees aged 50-59 in Russia. In Russia, 60-year - olds and older-22%[15]. The increase in the number of elderly citizens leads to the fact that the state should look for new approaches to social services for the elderly in order to create the most comfortable living conditions for them and extend their period of active and independent longevity. The problem of social services for the elderly in the Russian Federation is particularly relevant at the present time, since the liberal reforms in Russia in the 1990s, associated with fundamental changes in the sphere of distribution relations and the transition to the market, radically changed the social conditions of Russian citizens. The current socio-economic situation in the country does not give confidence to the older generation. The increase in the retirement age and the low level of material pension provision add to modern Russian pensioners and people approaching this age category, worries about their social well-being[1].

Based on a theoretical analysis of the older generation’s problems and a longitudinal sociological study conducted by the author, the article proposes effective mechanisms of social practice to overcome the social exclusion of the elderly. It is emphasized that scientific research of the social problems of the elderly in Ukraine is caused by the rapid growth of this part of the population over the past fifty years, the need to overcome their social exclusion in current historical conditions and the view of older people as independent subjects of social and historical action. Based on the modern areas of scientific reflection on the changing social roles of older people (the theory of active ageing, the theory of separation and the theory of successful ageing), an attempt is made to build a model of overcoming social exclusion of the elderly in the theory of successful ageing. The author describes the contradictory situation in the Ukrainian society under the influence of public opinion and mass media. On the one hand, there is the uncertainty of social and personal identification of older people, because of which a significant proportion of this social group considers itself quite active to perform various economic and social functions. On the other hand, members of the 60+ generation increasingly feel limited in rights, unclaimed and devalued, state the presence of low self-esteem due to latent or overt ageism on the part of society. The conducted sociological research revealed the vectors of effective inclusive social practice for the elderly people in the public organization “Gardeners’ Club” in Kharkiv, which unites people following their vital interests, values, and behaviour patterns. The study results confirmed the hypothesis of the possibility of building a model for overcoming the social exclusion of the elderly on the positions of the theory of success, included in society ageing.

Abstract Social connectedness is a multi-factorial concept encompassing structural, functional, and quality aspects. For those with chronic conditions, threats to social connectedness can exacerbate illness symptomology and impose barriers to disease self-management. This study identified factors associated social connectedness risk among Black men ages 40+ years with one or more chronic conditions. Data from 2019 were analyzed from a national sample of 1,200 Black males collected with an internet-delivered questionnaire. Three logistic regression models were fitted to assess factors associated with not having enough people to call for help (structural), feeling isolated from others (functional), and not being content with friendships/relationships (quality). All regression models were adjusted for age, education, marital status, number of chronic conditions, self-reported barriers to disease self-management, and having cut-down or skipped social activities because of health problems. On average, participants were age 56.7 (±9.7) years and self-reported 4.0 (±2.9) chronic conditions. Approximately 23% were ages 65+ years, 45.4% cut-down or skipped social activities because of health problems, 25.2% did not have enough people to call for help, 26.0% felt isolated from others, and 23.8% were not content with friendships/relationships. Across the three regression models, men who were middle-aged (P<0.05), never married (P<0.01), cut-down or skipped social activities because of health problems (P<0.001), and reported more barriers to disease self-management (P<0.001) were significantly more likely to report social connectedness risk. Findings suggest that efforts to improve the self-management of illness symptomology may mitigate threats to structural, functional, and quality aspects of social connectedness among this male population.

Abstract In the United States (U.S.), people aged 55 years and older make up 36% of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). Nearly 20% of new HIV infections occur among people aged 50+. While medical breakthroughs in HIV treatment have allowed PLWHA to live longer, healthier lives, structural conditions still exist that affect health outcomes of older adults living with HIV/AIDS (OALWHA). These conditions continue to disproportionately burden OALWHA, particularly older adults of color. Therefore, a greater understanding of the social determinates of health (SDH) is essential to continue making progress in HIV treatment, maintenance, and prevention. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has highlighted several SDH among OALWHA, including: poverty, education, income, employment status, health insurance coverage, and housing. This symposium will highlight emerging research that examines several of these indicators among OALWHA. Using a variety of research methodologies, the five abstracts included in this symposium aim to address: 1) psychosocial risk factors of quality of life; 2) life instability and mental health; 3) institutional barriers and facilitators of successful aging; 4) determinants of engaging in advance care planning; and 5) a needs assessment of OALWHA, with particular emphasis on SDH. Results from this research identify several priority areas (such as housing instability, mental health, food insecurity, and isolation) for healthcare leaders to consider in targeting future policy, programming, and funding. Future initiatives are essential to help continue the progress in HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention, including addressing SDH among the aging population living with HIV/AIDS.

В современных условиях развития общества забота о пожилых гражданах страны является одной из важных социальных проблем, и именно обеспечение им комфортной жизни, включение в различные виды социально-полезной деятельности, поддержание их здоровья и жизненной активности является гарантом социальной стабильности страны. Жизненный опыт, профессиональный, социальный являются ценным богатством, которое следует передать будущим поколениям. Социальная востребованность пожилых людей в деле воспитания и формирования молодого поколения неоценима и позволяет осуществлять преемственность между поколениями, сохранять нравственные традиции, культуру и духовные ценности общества. Но для того чтобы пожилые граждане могли выполнять данные функции, они должны быть жизнеспособны, физически и социально здоровы и благополучны. К сожалению, пожилые люди часто, по разным причинам, оказываются отстранёнными от социальной жизни, испытывают чувство ненужности, одиночества, дефицит общения, внимания со стороны как родных и близких, так и социума в целом. Поэтому очень важно восполнить эти пробелы, создать условия для социальной коммуникации, повышения уровня жизнедеятельности пожилых людей. Одним из таких средств является адаптивная физическая культура. Привлечение к организации занятий адаптивной физической культурой медицинских работников повышает у пожилых людей чувство безопасности, надежности и защищенности, что, в свою очередь, способствует регулярности посещений занятий. Новые знакомства, общие интересы расширяют круг их социальных контактов, восполняют дефицит коммуникации. Проведенный педагогический эксперимент подтвердил эффективность такого подхода. Включенные в занятия адаптивной физической культурой пожилые люди отмечают у себя повышение активности, настроения, желание активной деятельности, снижение неудовлетворенности жизненными обстоятельствами, расширение социальных связей, возможности для общения и совместного времяпровождения, а также улучшение физического и психического самочувствия. Таким образом, организация групповых занятий адаптивной физической культурой позволяет расширить социальные связи, создает условия для социальной коммуникации пожилых людей, повышает личностную и социальную активность In modern conditions of the development of society, caring for the elderly citizens of the country is one of the important social problems. It is precisely ensuring their comfortable life, inclusion in various types of socially useful activities, maintaining their health and vital activity that is the guarantor of the country's social stability. Life, professional and social experience is valuable wealth that should be passed on to future generations. The social demand of older people in the education and formation of the younger generation is invaluable and allows us to carry out continuity between generations, preserve moral traditions, culture and spiritual values of society. But, in order for older citizens to perform these functions, they must be viable, physically and socially healthy and prosperous. Unfortunately, older people often, for various reasons, find themselves removed from social life, experience feelings of unnecessariness, loneliness, a lack of communication, attention from both relatives and friends, and society as a whole. Therefore, it is very important to fill these gaps, create conditions for social communication, and increase the standard of living of the elderly. One such means is adaptive physical education. The involvement of medical professionals in the organization of adaptive physical culture classes increases the sense of safety, reliability and security in the elderly, which, in turn, contributes to the regularity of visits to classes. New acquaintances, common interests expand the range of their social contacts, fill the shortage of communication. The conducted pedagogical experiment confirmed the effectiveness of this approach. The elderly included in adaptive physical education activities note an increase in activity, mood, desire for intensive activity, a decrease in dissatisfaction with life circumstances, an increase in social ties, opportunities for communication and joint pastime, as well as an improvement in physical and mental well-being. Thus, the organization of group classes with adaptive physical culture allows older people to expand social ties, create conditions for social communication, increases personal and social activity

The aim of this qualitative study is to explore the lived experience of participation in daily occupations of older people living on Social House in Armenia
A total of eight participants (1 male, 7 female) who lived in social house in Yerevan, Armenia were in-depth interviewed in this study. The Empirical Phenomenological Perspective method (Karlsson,1993) was applied for analysing the interviews to explore the meaning structure of participation in daily occupations in social house as expressed by participants' lived experiences.
Findings has identified three main characteristics of participation in daily occupations of eight older people living in Social House: Change in place – change in life; being dependent as doer – not free in making choices; Lack of environmental possibilities in daily living.
The findings of the study highlighted older people's personal perceptions of current living place and importance of supportive environmental conditions which facilitate or challenge their participation in daily occupations. Subjective perception of the current place of living and experienced changes in daily occupation were identified among older people living in social house, which limited their possibilities to choose and maintain autonomy in daily occupations and in their social participation.

ObjectivesGovernment spending on social care in England reduced substantially in real terms following the economic crisis in 2008, meanwhile emergency admissions to hospitals have increased. We aimed to assess the extent to which reductions in social care spend on older people have led to increases in emergency hospital admissions.DesignWe used negative binomial regression for panel data to assess the relationship between emergency hospital admissions and government spend on social care for older people. We adjusted for population size and for levels of deprivation and health.SettingHospitals and adult social care services in England between April 2005 and March 2016.ParticipantsPeople aged 65 years and over resident in 132 local councils.Outcome measuresPrimary outcome variable—emergency hospital admissions of adults aged 65 years and over. Secondary outcome measure—emergency hospital admissions for ambulatory care sensitive conditions (ACSCs) of adults aged 65 years and over.ResultsWe found no significant relationship between the changes in the rate of government spend (£’000 s) on social care for older people within councils and our primary outcome variable, emergency hospital admissions (Incidence rate ratio (IRR) 1.009, 95% CI 0.965 to 1.056) or our secondary outcome measure, admissions for ACSCs (IRR 0.975, 95% CI 0.917 to 1.038).ConclusionsWe found no evidence to support the view that reductions in government spend on social care since 2008 have led to increases in emergency hospital admissions in older people. Policy makers may wish to review schemes, such as the Better Care Fund, which are predicated on a relationship between social care provision and emergency hospital admissions of older people.

This study aimed to estimate the work capacity of older Indonesians based on their health condition and other characteristics. Two analytic methods were used in this analysis—the Milligan–Wise method and the Cutler–Meara–Richards-Shubik method—and they found relatively small and substantial additional work capacities, respectively. The results showed that mortality alone may not be able to explain the additional work capacity due to only small improvements in the health conditions of older people. The effect of poverty, the dominance of the informal sector, low educational attainment and skills, and inadequate government social protection and assistance were also responsible for the continued employment of older people until serious health conditions halted their economic activities. Thus, several features were highlighted in this study: (i) the feasibility of extending the pensionable age, (ii) flexible terms for a pension scheme for informal workers, (iii) improved health conditions by expanding the noncontributory health insurance, and (iv) upgraded skills for older workers.

Abstract Changes in regulation and legislation place an obligation on employers to provide proper and safe working conditions for employees. In this context, it is important to determine if psychological violence prevention efforts are actually effective and whether the more vulnerable employees, older workers, are exercising their rights to defend themselves against the psychological violence they experience without fear of losing their jobs. This article presents theoretical and empirical data which sheds light on the nature of the psychological violence experienced by older people, the positions of people who exercise psychological violence in the employer’s organization, and the prevalence of, reasons behind, and forms and consequences of this psychological violence. The study behind this article was conducted by giving questionnaires to employers and employee representatives – i.e. trade unions – with identical questions. The responses of employers and employee representatives on the topic of psychological violence experienced by older workers are fundamentally different, which means that there is not enough social dialogue in this area between employees and employers.

In Mexico and the world, the COVID 19 pandemic took us by surprise, however, under the socioeconomic and health conditions that exist in the Mexican population, it makes the treatment of older adults even more complex. In general terms, the Pandemic should be considered a Syndemic since it encompasses both biological and social and economic aspects that complicate the care of the elderly. The economic condition of older adults is not favorable since sometimes they have to prioritize between health or eating, resulting in a poor state of health due to the lack of health care, coupled with this the number of insured older adults is minimal . These conditions result in a complicated panorama, since statistics show that the population at greatest risk in Mexico is the elderly, due to their comorbidities.
