The Interactome in the Evolution From Frailty to Sarcopenic Dependence

Biomarkers are essential tools for accurate diagnosis and effective prevention, but their validation is a pending challenge that limits their usefulness, even more so with constructs as complex as frailty. Sarcopenia shares multiple mechanisms with frailty which makes it a strong candidate to provide robust frailty biomarkers. Based on this premise, we studied the temporal evolution of cellular interactome in frailty, from independent patients to dependent ones. Overweight is a recognized cause of frailty in aging, so we studied the altered mechanisms in overweight independent elderly and evaluated their aggravation in dependent elderly. This evidence of the evolution of previously altered mechanisms would significantly support their role as real biomarkers of frailty. The results showed a preponderant role of autophagy in interactome control at both different functional points, modulating other essential mechanisms in the cell, such as mitochondrial capacity or oxidative stress. Thus, the overweight provoked in the muscle of the elderly an overload of autophagy that kept cell survival in apparently healthy individuals. This excessive and permanent autophagic effort did not seem to be able to be maintained over time. Indeed, in dependent elderly, the muscle showed a total autophagic inactivity, with devastating effects on the survival of the cell, which showed clear signs of apoptosis, and reduced functional capacity. The frail elderly are in a situation of weakness that is a precursor of dependence that can still be prevented if detection is early. Hence biomarkers are essential in this context.

IOT based Smart Healthcare Wheelchair for Independent Elderly

Notwithstanding adding to the presentation of imaginative innovations and arising business openings in numerous business sectors, improvements in innovation have since brought down labor force requests and working expenses. Likewise, the nature of administrations offered has been upgraded. In this way, as a key empowering innovation for a wide assortment of medical care applications, particularly for the older and handicapped, the Internet of Things (IoT) has as of late acquired extraordinary footing. While IoT-based advancements have started to help the old and incapacitated in numerous parts of their lives and occupations, and IoT helps support the nature of living for the old and crippled, the volume of IoT information produced has risen essentially and surpassed assumptions. An expected option for following their wellbeing status is to make a brilliant wheelchair-based wellbeing checking framework, since it is satisfactory for a more extensive assortment of watchers and, in contrast to wearable gadgets, doesn't need a great deal of support. Shrewd wheelchairs center on the versatility of the unit, yet in addition on observing the patient's prosperity. The point of the current work is to fabricate a shrewd detecting wheelchair through the establishment of sensors inside its structures. The innovation grasped is the Internet of Things, where sensors screen the heartbeat and blood oxygen levels, measure them through implanted frameworks, and move them to the cloud to initiate a trigger in case of any anomaly. The made trigger can be as a SMS or email.

The Lack of Financial Independent Elderly Peoples in the Backward Regions

This study aims to reveal a number of determinants of financial not independent be the cause of the elderly in disadvantaged areas. The study was designed in the format of mixed method, wherein in the first stage of qualitative data collection to identify a number of determinants of the causes of the financial not independent elderly. All variables are declared invalid later developed into quantitative data collection instrument at a later stage. The results of different Kruskal-Wallis test was applied to see the differences between the determinants of independent elderly and elderly are not independent. Then performed logistic regression analysis to see the effect of each determinant to provide empirical evidence on the probability not independent elderly. The results showed that the only factor of land ownership, health

Diet and Oral Health Coaching Methods and Models for the Independent Elderly

Health-related behavior based on diet is an important determinant of oral health in independent elderly. Aging impairs senses, mastication, oral status, and function, causing nutritional needs and diet insufficiencies that contribute to a vicious circle of impairment. But the present needs of independent older adults suggest that health research and oral health care should shift from disease management and therapy to integral customized and personal treatment plans, including lifestyle, psychological, nutritional, and oral health coaching approaches. In this paper health coaching approaches in medical and dental settings are valued as to their effectiveness for older adults. Furthermore, coaching approaches for seniors are discussed and coaching models for better senior patient-dentist cooperation on the diet issue are suggested. Diet and oral health coaching is proven to be a modern senior patient-centered approach that needs to be incorporated at all relevant settings. It should aim to empower older adults in co-management of their oral diseases or bad diet habits affecting their oral health. This can be carried out through an incorporated educational plan for dentists either at the postgraduate or professional level since advantages seem to enhance the quality of life of the independent elderly.

P1171DIALYSIS PRESCRIPTION FOR THE SPREAD OF PERITONEAL DIALYSIS IN THE ELDERLY PATIENTS CLARIFIED BY THE EXAMINATION OF RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN KT/V AND NURSING CARE LEVEL

Background and Aims Recently, more elderly patients who are independent or able to live at home with support of family are opting for peritoneal dialysis (PD). And assisted PD becomes the useful cure in the super-aging society. Japanese nursing-care insurance system which began in 2000 is useful for the spread of PD in the elderly. A purpose of this study is to check the current situation of the PD therapy in the elderly needing care. And it is to plan the spread of assisted PD in the elderly patients. Method Of the 789 elderly patients controlled by dialysis at our hospital between 2000 and 2018, 265 patients (33.6%) selected PD. 106 patients (30.1%) of young-old group (65-74 years, n=352), 108 patients (32.6%) of old group (75-84 years, n=331), and 51 patients (48.1%) of oldest old (≧85 years, n=106) started PD. We studied total Kt/V, total Ccr, volume of urine, volume of dialysate, the bag exchange number and dialysate retention time in 90 PD patients. We estimated total Kt/V and relations of the nursing care level in elderly PD patients. The data of patients divided into 4 groups: young group (≦64 years, n=30), young-old group (65-74 years, n=19), old group (75-84 years, n=27) and oldest-old group (≧85 years, n=14). Total Kt/V and relations of the nursing care level between 1 and 5 based on assessment of care requirements in PD patients with or without assisted PD were studied. Results The nursing-care insurance acquisition rate of each age group was 3.3%, 18.8%, 51.9%, 78.6% and assisted PD rate was 0%, 21.1%, 55.6%, 92.9%, respectively. Total urine volume was 759±506 L/day in the independent elderly patients and was 603±433 in the elderly patients with assisted PD. Dialysate volume was 5.5±2.0L/day in the independent elderly patients and was 4.0±2.1 in the elderly patients with assisted PD (p<0.05). The daily bag exchange number of times was 3.6±1.0 in the independent elderly patients and was 2.9±1.1 in the elderly patients with assisted PD (p<0.05). The volume of dialysate was 5.5 ±2.0 L/day in the independent elderly patients and was 4.0±2.1 L/day in the elderly patients with assisted PD (p<0.05). Though total Kt/V did not have the difference in each age group, total Kt/V was 1.74±0.36 in the non-need of nursing care elderly patients and was 1.37±0.30 (p <0.05) in the need of nursing care elderly patients. Total Kt/V was 1.72±0.30 in the independent elderly PD patients and was 1.53±0.44 in the elderly patients with assisted PD. Total Kt/V and the nursing care level were significantly inversely correlated (p = 0.011). Total Kt/V and the life independence degree of patients with dementia were significantly inversely correlated (p = 0.001) Conclusion Elderly PD patients can achieve improved levels of well-being with low volume peritoneal dialysates. The application of dialysis prescriptions using APD and and/or icodextorin decrease the burden of changing PD bags for elderly patients, nurses and families who support them (assisted PD). PD for elderly patients will create a paradigm shift of dialysis therapy in the super aging society.
