概括
一般医生 (GPs) 采用视频和电话咨询 (VC/TC),影响着对老年人进行体育活动 (PA) 的推广. 虽然VC/TC增加了患者的访问,但对PA指导的长期影响仍然不确定.
科学领域:
- 一般的做法一般的做法
- 公共卫生 公共卫生
- 老年学是指老年学的学科.
背景情况:
- 由于COVID-19大流行,视频和电话咨询 (VC/TC) 需要融入常规的全科医生 (GP) 实践中.
- 这些变化对老年人在日常医生咨询中促进体育活动 (PA) 的影响以前尚未确定.
研究的目的:
- 调查VC/TC如何影响在GP咨询期间对老年人进行PA的常规推广.
- 探讨一般医生对PA推广和在实践中采用VC/TC的观点.
主要方法:
- 2020年,在爱尔兰和北爱尔兰的全科医生参与中,进行了一项混合方法的横截面研究.
- 通过在线调查和与全科医生的半结构面试收集数据,重点关注PA指南,向老年人 (65岁以上) 推广PA,以及VC/TC的影响.
主要成果:
- 整体医生证实,PA推广是他们日常实践中不可或缺的一部分.
- 采访显示,需要加强从业人员对PA指南的了解,并突出了围绕VC/TC使用的主题.
- VC/TC的积极方面包括增加患者咨询能力和必要时优先考虑面对面 (FTFC) 咨询. 确定的一个关键障碍是VC/TC期间患者视觉评估能力降低.

01:19The Effect of Aging on Tissues
Several body functions deteriorate with age. The external signs of aging are easily identifiable. For example, the skin becomes dry, less elastic, and thins out, forming wrinkles. The skin of the face begins to appear looser due to a decrease in the levels of elastic and collagen fibers in the connective tissue. Additionally, melanin production in the hair follicle decreases with age, resulting in gray hair. Moreover, the senses of sight and hearing decline, so glasses and hearing aids may...
01:15Drug 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...
01:00Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Distribution
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 not...
01:18Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Metabolism
Geriatric patients show significant variation in how their bodies process medications, which can change how effective and safe treatments are. The liver is the primary organ where drug metabolism occurs, involving two main types of chemical reactions: phase I and II. Phase I metabolism is driven by the cytochrome P450 enzyme system, which includes key types such as CYP3A, CYP2D6, and CYP2C9. Research indicates that while aging doesn't notably alter the levels or activity of these enzymes, it...
01:27Pharmacodynamics 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...
01:20Lifestyle Factors and Health
Lifestyle factors play a critical role in maintaining overall health and preventing chronic diseases. Key elements, such as regular physical activity, a nutritious diet, and abstinence from smoking, can significantly enhance physical, mental, and emotional well-being while reducing the risk of several life-threatening conditions.
Benefits of Physical Activity
Physical activity, whether through structured exercise or casual activities like walking, biking, or dancing, is a cornerstone of a...
