Longitudinal changes in life-space mobility and autonomy in participation outdoors among Finnish community-dwelling older adults from pre-COVID-19 to through the pandemic
CONCLUSIONS: For older people, the recovery of community mobility was incomplete after the restrictions stemming from the pandemic were lifted. Older adults with impaired lower extremity performance and who did not drive were particularly vulnerable to developing restricted life-space mobility, a situation that could lead to social isolation and reduced well-being.PMID:38558262 | DOI:10.1007/s40520-024-02734-6 (Source: Aging Clinical and Experimental Research)

Does presbygeusia really exist? An updated narrative review
In conclusion, presbygeusia exists even in the absence of comorbidities or drug side effects, but its impact on dietary choices in the elderly is likely modest.PMID:38558357 | DOI:10.1007/s40520-024-02739-1 (Source: Aging Clinical and Experimental Research)

Primary, allied health, selected specialists, and mental health service utilisation by home care recipients in Australia before and after accessing the care, 2017-2019
CONCLUSIONS: Most MBS subsidised preventive, management and specialist services are underutilised by older people, both before and after HCP access and small changes are observed after they access HCP.PMID:38551712 | PMC:PMC10980604 | DOI:10.1007/s40520-024-02731-9 (Source: Aging Clinical and Experimental Research)

Body composition parameters and sarcopenia in adults with Down syndrome: a case-control study
CONCLUSIONS: Adults with DS have a higher prevalence of sarcopenia compared with the general population. This finding suggests that DS is associated with early muscle aging and calls for the design of interventions targeting the skeletal muscle to prevent or treat sarcopenia.PMID:38551714 | PMC:PMC10980647 | DOI:10.1007/s40520-023-02680-9 (Source: Aging Clinical and Experimental Research)

Profiles of well-being in French older adults and associations with successful aging and personality: findings from the SHARE project
This study determined different profiles of well-being (WB) and compared the profiles in terms of successful aging (SA), personality, and sociodemographic variables. The study sample consisted of 856 adults aged 65-98 years. WB was taken into account in an eudemonic and hedonic approach. SA was measured by assessing the three distinct components of Rowe and Kahn's model (Successful aging. Gerontol 37(4):433-440. 10.1093/geront/37.4.433, 1997), personality by the Big Five Inventory, and sociodemographic variables. Latent class analyses (LCA) determined the number of WB profiles, and ANOVAs and Chi2 tests to compare them. Th...

Risk of sarcopenia and mobility of older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic: the longitudinal data from the REMOBILIZE study
CONCLUSION: Mobility trajectories reported in older people at risk of sarcopenia were negatively influenced by insufficient level of physical inactivity and pre-existing moderate to severe functional limitation. Health and social interventions should be target to avoid mobility limitation during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.PMID:38546804 | PMC:PMC10978643 | DOI:10.1007/s40520-024-02720-y (Source: Aging Clinical and Experimental Research)
