Virtual Staff Training to Support Communication for Older Adults With Untreated Hearing Loss in Care Settings
CONCLUSION: This article highlights successes of the training as well as ideas for future trainings suggested by staff members. A key finding was the need to identify a core group of staff members who would be charged with facilitating use of personal amplification for older adults in the organization. In addition, providing multiple brief trainings over time was suggested to improve adoption of good communication practices among staff.

Prevalence of Motoric Cognitive Risk Syndrome Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
CONCLUSION: Prevalence of MCR in community-dwelling older adults is high. Our research may improve the epidemiological understanding of MCR, draw attention to older adults with MCR, and thus promote research of MCR and the formulation of relevant public health policies. With early identification and intervention of MCR, cognitive function can be improved, and the onset of dementia can be delayed or prevented.
