Prevalence of Chronic Cancer and No-Cancer Pain in Elderly Hospitalized Patients: Elements for the Early Assessment of Palliative Care Needs
Conclusion Pain is a critical underestimated problem in elderly patients. A timely systematic evaluation of the pain would call attention to palliative care needs and reduce the negative effects of uncontrolled pain on the quality of life.

Emotional and social characteristics of stroke patients with low verbal memory.
CONCLUSIONS: Because the social engagement may be treated as protective factor in the course of recovery we would recommend that during rehabilitation more attention should be paid to emotional and social functioning of stroke patients with low verbal memory.

The association between medical diagnosis and caregiver burden: a cross-sectional study of recipients of informal support and caregivers from the general population study 'Good Aging in Sk åne', Sweden.
CONCLUSION: Informal support constitutes a substantial time for instrumental ADL for the diseased elders. Caregivers to persons with dementia and depression experience high burden.

Post-Stroke Cognitive Impairment, Depression and Apathy: Untangling the Relationship
Neurobehavioral researchers have long decried the neglect of the neuropsychiatric consequences of stroke in favor of the classical emphasis on motor and speech deficits [1]. In the last three decades, the situation has steadily changed, with increasing emphasis on post-stroke cognitive impairment [2] and depression [3]. Much less attention has been paid to apathy, which occurs about as frequently as cognitive impairment and depression after stroke [4], and has a major impact on both the patient and significant others [5].

"I Don't Believe in Leading a Life of My Own, I Lead His Life": A Qualitative Investigation of Difficulties Experienced by Informal Caregivers of Stroke Survivors Experiencing Depressive and Anxious Symptoms.
CONCLUSIONS: Caregivers experienced significant difficulties adapting to changes and losses associated with becoming a caregiver, such as giving up roles and goals of importance and value. Such difficulties persisted into the long-term and were coupled with feelings of hopelessness and worry. Difficulties were further exacerbated by social isolation, lack of information and poor long-term health and social care support.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: A greater understanding of difficulties experienced by depressed and anxious caregivers may inform the development of psychological support targeting difficulties unique to the ca...

Risk factors for falls among older Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in urban and regional communities.
CONCLUSION: Falls were experienced by one-quarter of study participants. Fall risk factors identified for older Aboriginal people appear to be similar to those identified in the general population. Understanding of fall risk factors may assist with the development of appropriate and effective community-led fall prevention programs.

Cognitive Deficits in Chronic Stroke Patients: Neuropsychological Assessment, Depression, and Self-Reports
Conclusion: Cognitive impairment occurs frequently even in patients in a chronic phase after stroke and predicts symptoms of depression. Using the Stroke Impact Scale, clinicians should be aware of low sensitivity of self-reported cognitive function.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2017;7:283 –296

Alcohol Use and Frailty Risk among Older Adults over 12 Years: The Health and Retirement Study.
CONCLUSIONS: Findings suggest that moderate alcohol use confers reduced frailty risk for both older men and women. Future research should examine the mechanism(s) relating alcohol consumption and frailty.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Findings support extant literature suggesting some healthcare benefits may be associated with moderate drinking.

Correlates of physical activity among depressed older people in six low ‐income and middle‐income countries: A community‐based cross‐sectional study
ConclusionsThe current data provide guidance for future interventions across LMICs to assist older people with depression engage in regular PA. The promotion of social cohesion may increase the efficacy of future public health initiatives, while from a clinical perspective, somatic co‐morbidities, MCI, pain, and slow gait need to be considered.Key points
More than 40% of older people with depression in low‐income and middle‐income countries do not meet physical activity guidelines.
Somatic co‐morbidities, lower body mass index, pain, and slow gait need to be considered.
The promotion of social cohesion may increase...

Baseline Vascular Cognitive Impairment Predicts the Course of Apathetic Symptoms After Stroke: The CASPER Study.
CONCLUSION: Baseline VCI is associated with increasing apathy levels from baseline to the chronic stroke phase, whereas no association was found between baseline VCI and the course of depressive symptoms. Health professionals should be aware that apathy might be absent early after stroke but may evolve over time in patients with VCI.

Online assessment of risk factors for dementia and cognitive function in healthy adults
ConclusionKnown modifiable risk factors for dementia are associated with cognitive performance in non‐demented individuals in late midlife and older age. This provides further support for public health interventions that seek to manage these risk factors across the lifespan.

Baseline Vascular Cognitive Impairment Predicts the Course of Apathetic Symptoms after Stroke: the CASPER Study
• Studies have shown associations between global VCI and affective symptoms. In addition, we studied the influence of domain-specific VCI on post-stroke depression and apathy.• VCI in at least one cognitive domain is associated with increasing apathy levels from 3 to 15 months post-stroke.• VC I in multiple cognitive domains is associated with higher levels of apathy in the chronic stroke phase compared with VCI in a single domain.• Health professionals should be aware that symptoms of apathy might be absent early after stroke, but evolve over time in patients with VCI.
