Unveiling the Frailty Spatial Patterns Among Chilean Older Persons by Exploring Sociodemographic and Urbanistic Influences Based on Geographic Information Systems: Cross-Sectional Study

Unveiling the Frailty Spatial Patterns Among Chilean Older Persons by Exploring Sociodemographic and Urbanistic Influences Based on Geographic Information Systems: Cross-Sectional Study

Understanding the aging process and the sociodemographic determinants related to enhancing the quality of life has emerged as a very relevant research area in light of the rapid aging of the global population [1-3]. Currently, 12% of the world’s population is aged ≥60 years, and projections suggest that this proportion may rise to 21.5% by the mid century [4]. Similarly, the ≥80 years age group is expected to increase from 1.7% to 4.5% [4].

Digital, Personalized Clinical Trials Among Older Adults, Lessons Learned From the COVID-19 Pandemic, and Directions for the Future: Aggregated Feasibility Data From Three Trials Among Older Adults

Digital, Personalized Clinical Trials Among Older Adults, Lessons Learned From the COVID-19 Pandemic, and Directions for the Future: Aggregated Feasibility Data From Three Trials Among Older Adults

Despite the presumed barriers to enrolling older adults in digital, remote clinical research, several trials conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic have succeeded in this pursuit, including a longitudinal brain aging study [20], a telemedicine initiative in a primary care setting [21], telehealth delivery of music therapy services [22], and a digital group intervention addressing worry and social isolation [23].

Artificial Intelligence-Driven Biological Age Prediction Model Using Comprehensive Health Checkup Data: Development and Validation Study

Artificial Intelligence-Driven Biological Age Prediction Model Using Comprehensive Health Checkup Data: Development and Validation Study

This demographic shift toward an aging population has led to increased health care dependency and associated social costs. The medical industry related to aging and the social costs thereof are continuously increasing [2]. Accurately assessing biological aging is a critical first step in mitigating age-related diseases and their socioeconomic impact.

Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of a Machine Learning–Based eHealth System to Predict and Reduce Emergency Department Visits and Unscheduled Hospitalizations of Older People Living at Home: Retrospective Study

Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of a Machine Learning–Based eHealth System to Predict and Reduce Emergency Department Visits and Unscheduled Hospitalizations of Older People Living at Home: Retrospective Study

With aging and frailty, the risk of unplanned hospitalizations is increased. Studies show that in France, older adults living at home represent 13% of the population that is hospitalized at least once a year, compared to 6% for the general population [2,3]. According to medico-economic data, nearly 1.6 million people aged >80 years were hospitalized in 2017, twice the number in the general population.

Encouraging the Voluntary Mobilization of Mental Resources by Manipulating Task Design: Explorative Study

Encouraging the Voluntary Mobilization of Mental Resources by Manipulating Task Design: Explorative Study

Cognitive training is increasingly being considered and proposed as a solution for several pathologies, particularly those associated with aging. However, trainees must be willing to invest enough mental effort to succeed and make progress. During the execution of an activity, we have the possibility of voluntarily activating our mental resources to reach a level of performance set by the task or by ourselves.

Longitudinal and Combined Smartwatch and Ecological Momentary Assessment in Racially Diverse Older Adults: Feasibility, Adherence, and Acceptability Study

Longitudinal and Combined Smartwatch and Ecological Momentary Assessment in Racially Diverse Older Adults: Feasibility, Adherence, and Acceptability Study

With the prevalence of Alzheimer disease (AD) and AD and related dementias (ADRD) increasing alongside the aging population and the availability of new treatments, there is a need to quantify risk and detect cognitive decline at the earliest stage [1]. It is estimated that only a small minority of older adults with mild cognitive decline are accurately identified early [2], missing an opportunity for early intervention.

Older Adults’ Perspectives on Participating in a Synchronous Online Exercise Program: Qualitative Study

Older Adults’ Perspectives on Participating in a Synchronous Online Exercise Program: Qualitative Study

Our thematic analysis identified 3 main themes with respect to participants’ perceptions of exercise in general and with the synchronous online exercise program: health, exercise, and aging beliefs; the pandemic interruption and impacts; and synchronous online exercise programs attenuate barriers to exercise (Textbox 1).

Machine Learning Models for Frailty Classification of Older Adults in Northern Thailand: Model Development and Validation Study

Machine Learning Models for Frailty Classification of Older Adults in Northern Thailand: Model Development and Validation Study

The world population is moving toward an aging society. As health care technology improves, people are expected to live longer and healthier [1]. According to the World Health Organization, the population aged ≥60 years will increase from 1 billion in 2020 to 2.1 billion in 2050 and the number of people aged ≥80 years will reach 426 million in 2050 [2].
