概括
邻居在家附近的可行性与老年人的社区流动性增加有关. 这种效应在慢步行者中更为明显,这凸显了当地环境对于独立生活的重要性.
科学领域:
- 老年学与公共卫生
- 城市规划与环境健康
背景情况:
- 社区可行性被假设为促进社区流动性和老年人的独立功能.
- 要了解这种关系,需要对可行性和社区流动性的客观测量.
- 个人因素,如步行速度,可能会减轻邻居环境对移动性的影响.
研究的目的:
- 检查一种新的可行性审计指数与全球定位系统 (GPS) 衍生的社区流动性在老年人之间的关联.
- 将这些协会与经过验证的环境保护局 (EPA) 国家可行性指数进行比较.
- 调查临床步行速度是否能缓和可行性和社区流动性之间的关系.
主要方法:
- 使用谷歌街景审计在参与者的家园1/8英里的范围内创建了一个新的可行性指数.
- 在146名居住在社区的老年人中,客观地使用GPS设备测量了5-7天的社区流动性.
- 分析了这些关联,考虑了人口,健康和社区社会经济状况,并通过步行速度测试了适度.
主要成果:
- 较高的可行性审计得分与在家外度过的时间增加有显著的关联.
- 对于较慢的步行者来说,更高的可行性审计得分与离家积累的距离更大有关.
- 美国环境保护局 (EPA) 国家可行性指数显示,与社区流动性没有显著的关联.
结论:
- 当地社区的可行性与老年人的社区流动性有关.
- 房屋周围的建筑环境对于使老年人能够移动尤为重要.
- 干预措施应考虑环境和个人因素,以提高老年人的社区流动性.

Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age
367
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...

Surveyors use Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to measure the precise location and elevation of points on Earth. In a recent survey, GPS receivers were used to determine the coordinates and elevations of two park monuments. The process involved careful mission planning, data collection, and correction to ensure accuracy. The survey began with mission planning to identify optimal satellite visibility and minimize Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP). A geodetic control point...
