Applications of Self-Driving Vehicles in an Aging Population

Applications of Self-Driving Vehicles in an Aging Population

For many community-dwelling older adults, private vehicles remain the primary mode of transportation. In the United States, there are over 55 million licensed automobile drivers over 65 years of age, comprising over 25% of the total driving population [1]. Motor vehicle collisions are among the most common causes of nonfatal and fatal injuries in the United States in older adults [2,3].

Assessing Social Interaction and Loneliness and Their Association With Frailty Among Older Adults With Subjective Cognitive Decline or Mild Cognitive Impairment: Ecological Momentary Assessment Approach

Assessing Social Interaction and Loneliness and Their Association With Frailty Among Older Adults With Subjective Cognitive Decline or Mild Cognitive Impairment: Ecological Momentary Assessment Approach

Frailty and prefrailty incidences were estimated at 43 and 151 new cases per 1000 person-years, respectively, indicating that approximately 1 in 6 community-dwelling older adults may be frail [8]. Frailty is more common in women, older individuals, those with a lower socioeconomic status, and individuals with comorbid chronic diseases and disabilities [1,8-10].

Digital, Personalized Clinical Trials Among Older Adults, Lessons Learned From the COVID-19 Pandemic, and Directions for the Future: Aggregated Feasibility Data From Three Trials Among Older Adults

Digital, Personalized Clinical Trials Among Older Adults, Lessons Learned From the COVID-19 Pandemic, and Directions for the Future: Aggregated Feasibility Data From Three Trials Among Older Adults

Trial participation was especially difficult during COVID-19 for older adults given national guidance on limiting in-person interactions of and with vulnerable populations, such as older people [10]. By some estimates, older adults were underrepresented in research that occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic [11].

Artificial Intelligence-Driven Biological Age Prediction Model Using Comprehensive Health Checkup Data: Development and Validation Study

Artificial Intelligence-Driven Biological Age Prediction Model Using Comprehensive Health Checkup Data: Development and Validation Study

An individual with a biological age younger than their chronological age may have a lower risk of developing age-related diseases, while an older biological age could indicate a higher vulnerability to such conditions. This highlights the clinical significance of accurately estimating the biological age for personalized health interventions and monitoring.

Older Adults’ Perspectives on Participating in a Synchronous Online Exercise Program: Qualitative Study

Older Adults’ Perspectives on Participating in a Synchronous Online Exercise Program: Qualitative Study

Physical activity (PA) guidelines are not met by ≈85% of older adults in Canada [1,2]. The Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology recommends that older adults participate in 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous PA and 2 bouts of strengthening exercise each week [3], similar to the World Health Organization guidelines [4].

Feasibility of a Cinematic–Virtual Reality Program Educating Health Professional Students About the Complexity of Geriatric Care: Pilot Pre-Post Study

Feasibility of a Cinematic–Virtual Reality Program Educating Health Professional Students About the Complexity of Geriatric Care: Pilot Pre-Post Study

Over the next 3 decades, the number of Americans aged 65 and older is projected to increase from 58 million in 2022 to 82 million in 2050, representing a 47% increase [1]. With this demographic shift, more older adults will be living with chronic conditions. According to the National Council on Aging, 94.9% of adults aged 60 years and older have at least one chronic condition and 78.7% have two or more [2].

A Comparison of Patient and Provider Perspectives on an Electronic Health Record–Based Discharge Communication Tool: Survey Study

A Comparison of Patient and Provider Perspectives on an Electronic Health Record–Based Discharge Communication Tool: Survey Study

However, there is a scarcity of research comparing the perspectives of older adult patients and health care providers with concordance measures for a large-scale technology-based discharge communication tool. Measuring and comparing the alignment between patient and provider perspectives enables the unveiling of true shared understanding in terms of discharge education [14].

Older Adults’ Experiences With an Online Survey

Older Adults’ Experiences With an Online Survey

Older adults are underrepresented in research, often due to age-related biases and stringent exclusion criteria; this limits generalizability and leaves knowledge gaps [1]. The increasing prevalence of online research has the potential to increase older adult participation, given the rising internet use among this demographic [2].

Major Adverse Kidney Events in Hospitalized Older Patients With Acute Kidney Injury: Machine Learning–Based Model Development and Validation Study

Major Adverse Kidney Events in Hospitalized Older Patients With Acute Kidney Injury: Machine Learning–Based Model Development and Validation Study

AKI is common in older individuals, associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and health care costs [5-7]. The prevalence of multiple comorbidities as well as age-related changes in the kidneys, systemic vasculature, and immune system render older patients more susceptible to kidney damage and less likely to recover [5,8].

The Needs and Experiences of People With Early-Stage Dementia Using an Application for Cognitive and Physical Activation in Germany: Qualitative Study

The Needs and Experiences of People With Early-Stage Dementia Using an Application for Cognitive and Physical Activation in Germany: Qualitative Study

Dementia is a leading cause of disability and care dependency among older adults worldwide [1]. Currently, around 50 million people are living with dementia; projections indicate that dementia prevalence will increase to 152 million by 2050 [2]. Consequently, the demand for support for people with dementia is increasing. This may become a key challenge due to the simultaneous decrease in caregiving capacity.
