Abstract Diabetes is known to increase the risk of disability, which may be buffered by health behaviors and psychological factors. However, few existing studies examine how these factors affect disability in diabetic patients over time. The present study assessed the extent to which diabetes affected disability with age and how that effects differed by health behaviors and psychological well-being in older Taiwanese. The data of 5131 adults aged 50 and older were drawn from the 1996-2007 Taiwan Longitudinal Study on Aging. A cohort sequential multilevel modeling was employed to explore the effects of sociodemographic, comorbidities, lifestyle, and psychosocial factors in mediating and moderating the link between diabetes and disability. Disability was measured by mobility limitation in 1999, 2003, and 2007, while health behaviors and psychological factors were measured in 1996, 1999, and 2003 to be lagged time-varying covariates in random effect model analyses. Our results showed that adults with diabetes had more mobility limitation (β(diabetes) =3.031, P<.001) and progressed each year with ageing (β(diabetes*age) =0.061, P<.005). Exercising more than four times a week reduced the risk of disability by 51 % in diabetic patients (β(diabetes*exercise≥4 times) =-1.220, P<0.05). Social participation (β(social participation)=-0.631, P<.005), stress (β(stress)=0.651, P<.001) and depression (β(depression)=0.144, P<.001) had independent effects on the risk of disability in adults, but the interaction with diabetes was not significant. To conclude, exercise is the most powerful factor to alleviate the risk of disability in diabetic patients.

Participatory Intervention

The main goal of this trial is to train parents as facilitators of communicative interactions in their natural environment with their children, users all of them of cochlear implants that promotes the development of verbal language, through a non-traditional pedagogical orientation such as hybrid tele-assistance, that is finely interacts with the education for health and family well-being. The methodological approach was exploratory, descriptive, through hybrid sessions with synchronous sessions of an hour and a half with the parents and video-recorded samples of their communicative interactions during spontaneous speech with children in their natural environment “at home”. As a result, with the parents are achieved, the reestablishment of the communicative circuit and a positive change in the “linguistic nutrition” in their practices of participatory intervention during the dialogues with their children. In the future, the intangible costs that must be assumed because of the unexpected arrival of a child with hearing loss are reduced. In parallel, a place is generated for the reflection of a solid pedagogical and investigative proposal that makes transdisciplinarity visible as the first responders in health with projection in family, social and school education.

The Impact

Being socially engaged is theorized to diminish age-related declines in emotional functioning. However, unique facets of social engagement may differentially impact functioning in older adulthood. In particular, social participation (SP) might be more beneficial than social support (SS) in buffering declines. The goal of this study was to examine whether interindividual differences in SP and SS influenced intraindividual change in Psychological Well-Being (PWB). The impact of SS and SP on change in PWB was investigated in two samples from the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study spanning 19 years (1992–2011): graduate respondents and their siblings. Using latent growth curve models, small declines in PWB were found. Individuals high in SP demonstrated a less steep decline in PWB across the three time points than individuals low in SP. SS, however, did not buffer declines in PWB. Developmental implications of the age-related trajectory of PWB and the relationship with social engagement are discussed.

Abstract The image of modern aging had changed. While before ageing was associated with degenerative processes, today more older adults become active and meaningful members of the society. Still more knowledge is needed to help the majority of older adults to age in active and positive way. Solid body of research shows that in ageing the value of subjective factors dramatically increases. Gerotranscendence that suggests important positive personality changes to occur in aging, could be one of such mechanisms. The aim of the present study was to investigate which psychological characteristics were important for development of gerotranscendence and which positive outcomes it might cause. Participants were 200 older adults aged 60-89 (69% females). Methods: Gerotranscendence scale (Strizhitskaya), self-actualization test (Shostrom), Self-acceptance test (Pantileev), Psychological well-being scale (Ryff), Scale of social activity (Strizhitskaya). Our results confirmed in consistence with literature that higher scores on self-acceptance and self-actualization favored development of gerotranscendence. We also found that developed gerotranscendence positively affected psychological well-being. New in our research was that we showed that people who demonstrated higher scores on gerotranscendence were more interested in maintaining social activities; they were interested in participation in social life of their community and were trying to continue active and meaningful social participation. The final model fitted the original data (Chi-square=12,168; df=11; p=0,103; CFI=0,944; GFI=0,973; RMSEA=0,051; PCLOSE=0,503). Thus gerotranscendence had positive effects on older adult’s functioning and social participation.
