Preferred type, timing and format of dementia information: A cross-sectional survey of carers of people living with dementia
CONCLUSIONS: Carers of people living with dementia expressed a desire for information on a wide range of topics, which changed as the dementia of the person they cared for progressed. Information needs to be made available in a variety of formats to cater for differing ways in which it is consumed.PMID:37877350 | DOI:10.1111/ajag.13251 (Source: Australasian Journal on Ageing)

Hospitalisations before and after entry into a residential aged care facility: An interrupted time series analysis
CONCLUSIONS: In this study, hospitalisation rates decreased significantly after RACF entry, and such reductions were maintained for residents who stayed for 12 months in RACFs. Multiple hospital admissions are likely to precipitate entry into RACF. Additional investigation of how community-based services can be successful in reducing the escalating hospitalisations is needed.PMID:37861132 | DOI:10.1111/ajag.13249 (Source: Australasian Journal on Ageing)

A physiotherapy-led review of guideline-based care for community-dwelling older people presenting to a metropolitan hospital with accidental falls
CONCLUSIONS: Adherence to guideline-based care of community-dwelling fallers is inconsistent. Improvements are required in the consistency of risk stratification, comprehensive physical assessment and patient education.PMID:37861178 | DOI:10.1111/ajag.13247 (Source: Australasian Journal on Ageing)

Findings from three methods to identify falls in hospitals: Results from the Ambient Intelligent Geriatric Management system fall prevention trial
CONCLUSIONS: This study reaffirms the need to improve reporting falls in incident systems and at clinical handover to the team leader. Research should continue to use more than one method of identifying falls, but include data from medical records. Many falls cause injury, resulting in poor health outcomes.PMID:37861202 | DOI:10.1111/ajag.13245 (Source: Australasian Journal on Ageing)

Intergenerational reciprocity and WHO function ability domains predict loneliness in older Chinese adults
CONCLUSIONS: In this study, functional abilities of meeting basic needs, making decisions, being mobile and contributing to the support of adult children and society were protective factors for experiencing loneliness in late life. We need to rethink interventions for addressing loneliness in the context of healthy ageing and specific cultural values, taking into account not only providing services to older adults but also supporting them to gain values by contributing to society.PMID:37845812 | DOI:10.1111/ajag.13250 (Source: Australasian Journal on Ageing)
