概括
适度使用互联网的老年人达到更高的每日步数,更有可能满足体力活动 (PA) 建议. 低或不使用互联网与老年人较低的PA水平有关.
科学领域:
- 老年学是一门学科.
- 公共卫生 公共卫生
- 数字健康数字健康
背景情况:
- 全球人口老龄化需要战略来提高老年人的健康和福祉.
- 身体活动 (PA) 对于保持老年人的健康至关重要,但客观测量方法在基于互联网的干预中未得到充分利用.
- 互联网为在老年人中推广PA提供了一个潜在的途径,但它对客观PA水平的影响需要进一步调查.
研究的目的:
- 调查65岁及以上老年人互联网使用频率与客观测量的体力活动水平之间的关联.
- 确定不同程度的互联网参与是否与每日步数和中度至强度体力活动 (MVPA) 的差异相关.
主要方法:
- 一项涉及172名65岁以上独立行走能力和没有认知障碍的成年人的横截面研究.
- 使用三轴加速度计和步数客观测量身体活动.
- 互联网使用是自我报告,并分为高,中等和低/不使用.
主要成果:
- 较年长的成年人使用互联网的频率中等,与使用互联网较少或不使用互联网的人 (6,070.6步) 相比,每天步数显著增加 (7,888步).
- 互联网使用较少或不使用的个人不太可能满足世界卫生组织 (WHO) 的身体活动建议 (OR:0.242,95% CI:0.077-0.751).
结论:
- 适度的互联网使用与较高的体力活动水平和老年人遵守世卫组织PA指南有积极的关联.
- 这些发现表明,互联网参与可能是促进体育活动和减轻与年龄有关的健康风险的重要因素.
- 旨在增加老年人AP的干预措施可能会利用互联网接入和适度使用模式.

The 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...
Drug 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...
Pharmacodynamics 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...
Cognitive Development During Adulthood
Cognitive development continues throughout adulthood, undergoing significant shifts across early, middle, and late stages. Individual transition occurs from adolescent idealism to pragmatic and adaptable thinking in early adulthood. During this period, individuals learn to integrate personal beliefs with the recognition that other perspectives are equally valid. Exposure to the complexities of modern society, diverse experiences, and higher education contribute to this adaptive thought process,...
Aging
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...
