The natural aging process accelerate the appearance and the installation of diseases and symptoms characteristic of the age in which the physical and cognitive aspects are compromised progressively. Increasing the necessity of specialized cares and intensive accompaniment. This study aimed to evaluate through the Nursing Activities Score appliance, the nursing team’s working load, destined to elderly people assisted at intensive unit care and subsidize the personal sizing according to what advocate the legislation. It is about a descriptive and documental study of quantitative approach. It was used as data basis 50 patient records of elderly users admitted at a public intensive unit care from João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brazil. It was determined that 56% (28) of the elderly in his first hospitalization day at the Intensive Unit Care, required a nursing high working load while 44% (42) a nursing low working load. Through the sum of the Nursing Activities Score average score, we can achieve the total of hours at the nursing assistance necessaries to the elderly patient care during the hospitalization. The average scores obtained by the total score, corresponded to 59.2 ± 7.8, transforming in hours according to the conducted calculus, correspond to 14.47 hours of nursing assistance turned to the elderly people. It is waited that the results can contribute to quantify the expended assistance time and also evidence the real necessity of the people to ensure safe and quality assistance practices to the elderly people.  Descriptors: Workload.

Physiological changes in the brain with natural aging and the development of dementia have a common genetic basis, which makes it important to search for genetic variants that delineate the natural decline in cognitive abilities with age and dementia of the Alzheimer’s type. Objective: the search for the relationship between two polymorphic variants (rs429358 and rs7412) APOE gene and their protein isoforms (apoE) with the variability of cognitive functions in the elderly, determined by Montreal Cognitive Assessmnet (MoCA) total score. The study was performed on a group of 695 elderly people (177 men and 518 women) tested by a battery of MoCA tests. Genotyping was carried out by real-time PCR using TaqMan probes. The analysis of genotypic variability associations with the nominal trait was performed by the Kruskel-Wallis and the median test nonparametric methods.It was shown that the rs429358*C allele carriers and protein isoforms e4/e4+e2/e4+e3/e4 carriers in comparison with the e3/e3 homozygous have the greatest risk of decreased cognitive abilities in old age (OR (95% CI) was 1.51 (1.09 - 2.10), c = 6.66, p = 0.01 and OR = 1.64, 95% CI (1.11 - 2.44), c = 6.76, p = 0.009, respectively). Probably, the revealed associations indicate to the presence of common genes and mechanisms for dementia and intellect with normal variability of cognitive functions inheritance.

Abstract : Cataract is a conditin of the occurance of cloudiness in the lens of the eye. The incidence of cataracts are often found in the elderly people and usually occurs due to the aging process. Cataract is the highest causes of blindness in Indonesia. North sulawesi is a region with the highest incidence of cataract in Indonesia.One of the reason why the incidence of cataract is still high today, it’s because most of the patient didn’t know if they are suffering from cataract so that refuse the surgery. There are still many people who don’t know clearly about cataract. Knowledge is the important thing in the occurance of a disease. The purpose of this research is to determine the description of knowledge about cataract against the school students, especially the XII grade students of SMA Negeri 7 Manado. This research uses a descriptive research design, with amount sample 78 respondent and the data was taken by answering the questionnaire. The result of these study shows that the level of knowledge from grade XII student of SMA Negeri 7 Manado about cataract is classified in good category with percentage 73,2%.Keywords : Knowledge, student, cataractAbstrak : Katarak merupakan kondisi terjadinya kekeruhan pada lensa mata. Kejadian katarak sering ditemukan pada orang lanjut usia dan biasanya terjadi karena proses penuaan. Katarak merupakan penyebab kebutaan tertinggi di Indonesia. Provinsi Sulawesi Utara merupakan daerah dengan angka kejadian katarak tertinggi di Indonesia. Salah satu alasan mengapa tingginya kejadian katarak sampai saat ini, yaitu karena sebagian besar pasien banyak yang tidak tahu apabila mereka menderita katarak sehingga menolak melakukan operasi. Masih banyak orang yang belum mengetahui secara jelas tentang katarak. Pengetahuan memiliki peran yang penting dalam terjadinya suatu penyakit. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui gambaran pengetahuan tentang katarak pada siswa sekolah khususnya siswa kelas XII SMA Negeri 7 Manado. Pada penelitian ini, metode yang digunakan adalah deskriptif dengan sampel sebanyak 78 responde dan pengambilan data diperoleh dengan menjawab kuesioner. Dari penelitian yang telah dilakukan, diperoleh tingkat pengetahuan responden tergolong dalam kategori baik (73,2%).Kata kunci : pengetahuan, siswa, katarak

Aging is one of the embryonic problems in Bangladesh and this has been gradually increasing with its far-reaching consequences. Elderly can develop new and complicating health problems. In most cases the diseases are chronic and complex. The structures were designed to investigate the health status, depression, and function of the daily living of the older men and women in the Sylhet region of Bangladesh. The data were collected using stratified sampling. We have used cross-sectional methods to analyze the data and performed a chi-square test to test the association and a then bivariate and multivariable logistic regression model was used to evaluate the major risk factors of CVD. In this study, 229 elderly people were considered aged from 60 to 60+ years-old face to face personal interviews. Among them 16.6% elderly are suffering in depression. According to residence, the condition of health is good in the ethnic group (21.9%) and this situation is worse in the rural group (97.5%). In addition, people who have depression were 0.087 times or 91.3% (OR = 1.115, 95% CI 0.273-4.552) less likely to have healthy compared to the people who did not have depression. In this study, we have seen that there were many factors that were associated with health status among different communities’ elderly people in Sylhet. This research will help clinicians and policymakers to develop appropriate strategies of CVD patients and organize health education programs for changing lifestyles among elderly in Sylhet. Asian J.

Intrinsic And Extrinsic Factors

Physical health problems that often occur in the elderly people, for instance falling down to floor. The physiological changing during the aging process increase the client's risk of falling and having an accident. Most falls occur when moving from a bed, stool, and toilet, when going into or out of the bathroom, tripping over the edge of a carpet or door, slipping on wet surfaces and going downstairs. There are many factors that play a role in the occurrence of falls in the elderly, both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. The problems faced by the partners at this time include, there are 20 elderly people at the Social Home of Tresna Werdha Sabai Nan Aluih Sicincin, experiencing rheumatism, 10 seniors have experienced falls in the last 6 months, 35 elderly people experience urinary incontinence, the elderly do not know to minimize the risk of falling balance in the elderly has not been carried out and has not become a priority at the Social Home. Nursing staff identified cooperative elderly people to be provided with balance training with the application of Yoga. Activities were carried out in accordance with elderly guest houses to implement physical distancing due to pandemic Covid-19. Beside that, we provided leaflets of the Yoga’s training, some face masks, snack boxes, and cash for all elderly residents of the Sosial Home.
