Aging

Aging

Aging is a complex biological phenomenon influenced by various processes that affect cellular and systemic functions. Several prominent theories attempt to explain its mechanisms, highlighting cellular limitations, oxidative damage, and hormonal changes as central factors in aging.
Cellular Clock Theory
The cellular clock theory posits that the human lifespan is closely tied to the finite capacity of cells to divide, a phenomenon governed by telomeres, which are protective caps at the ends of...

Continuing Care

Continuing Care

Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

Cognitive Development During Adulthood

Cognitive Development During Adulthood

Cognitive development continues throughout adulthood, undergoing significant shifts across early, middle, and late stages. Individual transition occurs from adolescent idealism to pragmatic and adaptable thinking in early adulthood. During this period, individuals learn to integrate personal beliefs with the recognition that other perspectives are equally valid. Exposure to the complexities of modern society, diverse experiences, and higher education contribute to this adaptive thought process,...

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...

Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age

Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age

Age-related pharmacokinetic changes are extensively documented, but understanding age-related pharmacodynamic alterations is relatively limited. This knowledge gap can be partly attributed to the complexity of developing appropriate measures of drug responses compared to bioanalytical methods for determining drug concentrations.Most information regarding age-related differences in human pharmacodynamics originates from cross-sectional studies. However, these studies assume that observed mean...

Summary

Older adults can manage daily living with age-related changes using Engaging with Aging (EWA), a person-centered approach. This framework, developed by an older adult, aids independence and life satisfaction.

Area of Science:

Gerontology
Nursing
Sociology

Background:

Older adults face challenges managing daily living due to age-related changes.
Existing research on successful aging lacks insights into older adults' perspectives on managing daily tasks.

Purpose of the Study:

Introduce Engaging with Aging (EWA), a novel framework for older adults to manage daily living.
Explore EWA as a person-centered approach to daily task management and adaptation.

Main Methods:

Developed the Engaging with Aging (EWA) framework based on a nonagenarian's lived experiences.
Proposed EWA as a model for reasoned, purposeful daily living management, akin to clinical reasoning.

Main Results:

EWA offers a structured, person-centered process for older adults to navigate age-related changes.

The framework was developed through citizen science, reflecting real-world experiences.

Conclusions:

Engaging with Aging (EWA) has the potential to advance the science of aging and adaptation.
EWA can support older adults in maintaining independence and life satisfaction.
The framework may inform the development of future care strategies for the aging population.
