Aging

198
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...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II01:18

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results...

Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention

13.3K
Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
In primary prevention, actions taken before disease onset prevent the disease from...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

2.2K
A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...

Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.
Foundations of Community Mental Health Programs
Central to the success of community-based interventions is the...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology and Public Health
  • Community-Based Participatory Research
  • Organizational Capacity Building

Background:

  • Growing recognition of community-based organizations (CBOs), such as Villages, in promoting healthy aging.
  • Villages connect residents with resources for aging in place, but empirical evidence on their outcomes is limited.
  • Need for a framework to guide outcomes research with Villages and similar CBOs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a framework for capacity development in designing and implementing outcomes research with Villages.
  • To identify key components for successful outcomes research engagement by CBOs.
  • To support evidence generation for community-led healthy aging initiatives.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative analysis of virtual summits involving Village members, volunteers, and staff across the US.
  • Data collected from small-group discussions with approximately 400 participants.
  • Multiphase coding and memo writing to develop a grounded framework.

Main Results:

  • Four thematic categories emerged: understanding research motivation, partnerships, theorizing interventions, and data systems.
  • Successful outcomes research requires human, technical, and social capital.
  • Theory development is essential for understanding Village interventions.

Conclusions:

  • A comprehensive framework is needed to assess readiness and address capacity for outcomes research in Villages.
  • The framework supports diverse CBOs in engaging with research to demonstrate impact.
  • Findings emphasize the importance of social capital and theory in community-based research for healthy aging.
