Summary
Housing with support offers older adults improved quality of life and positive experiences. This review synthesizes evidence on supported housing perceptions and its impact on well-being.
Area of Science:
- Gerontology
- Public Health
- Sociology
Background:
- Increasing global life expectancy drives demand for supported housing models.
- The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted risks associated with traditional nursing home reliance.
- Supported housing is expanding as an alternative for aging populations.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore older adults' perceptions and experiences of housing with support.
- To examine the impact of supported housing on the quality of life for older individuals.
Main Methods:
- Mixed-methods systematic review utilizing a convergent parallel design.
- Searches of multiple databases (Ovid Medline, CINAHL, etc.) and grey literature.
- Quality appraisal using Joanna Briggs Institute and NIH tools; separate and integrated synthesis of qualitative and quantitative data.
Main Results:
- Synthesizes evidence on older adults' views and experiences with supported housing.
- Evaluates the effect of supported housing interventions on quality of life outcomes.
- Provides a comprehensive overview of current research findings.
Conclusions:
- Supported housing is a growing area of interest for aging populations.
- This review will consolidate understanding of older adults' perspectives and the benefits of supported housing.
- Evidence synthesis will inform future development and implementation of supported housing.

01:27Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age
107
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...

1.7K
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,...

01:15Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients
121
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...

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...

01:00Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Distribution
90
Drug distribution in the human body is influenced by several factors, including plasma protein concentration, body composition, blood flow, tissue-protein concentration, and tissue fluid pH. Among these, changes in plasma protein concentration and body composition due to aging significantly affect how drugs are distributed within the body. Specifically, aging is associated with a decrease in albumin levels by about 10% and an increase in α1-acid glycoprotein levels. These alterations are...
