Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

395
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...

Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Distribution

382
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...

Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Absorption

861
As individuals age, their body's physiology evolves, affecting drug pharmacokinetics. The most apparent changes occur in the gastrointestinal tract, where an increase in gastric pH, a delay in gastric emptying, and a reduction in gastrointestinal motility are observed. Remarkably, these changes do not substantially modify the absorption of orally administered drugs, particularly those absorbed via passive diffusion.Transdermal drug delivery emerges as a highly viable method for older adults due...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology and Criminology
  • Correctional Healthcare Services Research

Background:

  • Globally, the incarcerated population aged 50 and older is rapidly expanding.
  • High-quality healthcare for aging prisoners necessitates specialized approaches within carceral settings.
  • Limited research exists on correctional healthcare from stakeholder perspectives, hindering intervention development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore interest-holder perspectives on healthcare considerations for aging prison populations.
  • To identify unmet needs and challenges in providing healthcare to older incarcerated individuals.

Main Methods:

  • Secondary reflexive thematic analysis of qualitative data.
  • Data collected from 61 participants across three interest-holder groups: formerly and currently incarcerated individuals, community advocates/researchers, and correctional healthcare professionals.
  • Interviews and focus groups conducted between August 2022 and November 2023.

Main Results:

  • Identified a need for improved data tracking and comparison of healthcare metrics.
  • Healthcare needs often conflict with the carceral environment, creating access barriers.
  • Physical constraints significantly challenge older adults' access to necessary care.
  • Emerging questions regarding the suitability of incarceration for older adults were raised.

Conclusions:

  • Addressing healthcare for aging incarcerated populations requires considering stakeholder insights.
  • Findings highlight critical factors for improving correctional health services and meeting the needs of older prisoners.
  • The study provides a foundation for developing targeted interventions to enhance healthcare quality in prisons.
