“…These findings are in line with those of previous studies. Daher et al found that older adults who did physical activity had a better quality of life and made less use of hospital and emergency services [ 51 ]. Cantarero et al found that visits to the doctor and hospital admissions were lower in those engaging in physical activity [ 34 ].…”

Individuals’ lifestyles play an important role in healthcare costs. A large part of these costs is derived from hospitalizations. With the aim of determine the relationship between lifestyle and the likelihood of hospitalization and associate costs in older adults, this study used the Survey of Health, Aging, and Retirement in Europe. Generalized regression models for panel data were developed and adjusted hospitalization costs derived from the length of hospital stay were also estimated. The average adjusted cost of hospitalization was I$ 9901.50 and the analyses showed that performing weekly physical activity significantly reduces the probability of hospitalization (OR: 0.624) and its costs (I$ 2594.5 less per person per year than subjects who never performed physical activity). Muscle strength plays an important role in this relationship and eating habits are not of great significance. Furthermore, we found interesting differences in the frequency and costs of hospitalization between subjects by country.

“…In addition, persons engaging in regular exercise also showed lower probability for ED visits, hospitalizations, and deaths. In a previous study, when supervised physical exercise was applied to sedentary older individuals, reductions in ED visits, ED hospitalizations, and length of hospital stays were observed [ 62 ]. A comprehensive approach to reduce modifiable risk factors (e.g., smoking cessation, avoidance heavy alcohol consumption, and engagement in regular exercise) identified in this study would be worthy when considering the burdens on both primary and emergent care.…”

We aim to investigate common diagnoses and risk factors for emergency department (ED) visits as well as those for hospitalization and death after ED visits. This study describes the clinical course of ED visits by using the 2014–2015 population data retrieved from the National Health Insurance Service. Sociodemographic, medical, and behavioral factors were analyzed through multiple logistic regression. Older people were more likely to be hospitalized or to die after an ED visit, but younger people showed a higher risk for ED visits. Females were at a higher risk for ED visits, but males were at a higher risk for ED-associated hospitalization and death. Individuals in the highest quartile of income had a lower risk of ED death relative to lowest income level individuals. Disabilities, comorbidities, and medical issues, including previous ED visits or prior hospitalizations, were risk factors for all ED-related outcomes. Unhealthy behaviors, including current smoking, heavy alcohol consumption, and not engaging in regular exercise, were also significantly associated with ED visits, hospitalization, and death. Common diagnoses and risk factors for ED visits and post-visit hospitalization and death found in this study provide a perspective from which to establish health polices for the emergency medical care system.

“…O exercício físico é capaz de promover a saúde e melhorar a qualidade de vida dos idosos, além de reduzir a utilização de serviços de saúde [10]. E uma alimentação balanceada em macro e micronutrientes com a finalidade de evitar desequilíbrios nutricionais na terceira idade, demonstra ter, também, capacidade de melhorar a qualidade de vida e longevidade [11].…”

Introdução: O envelhecimento compreende muito além da elevação da faixa etária, sendo considerado um estágio de mudanças no estilo de vida, tornando-se necessário promover a saúde dos idosos. Objetivo: Compreender as percepções dos idosos, que praticam o canto coral, sobre a utilização da música para promover a saúde na terceira idade. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo com abordagem qualitativa. Contou-se com a participação de 15 idosos, integrantes de um coral catarinense. A coleta dos dados ocorreu em setembro de 2018, por meio do grupo focal. Os dados foram transcritos e posteriormente organizados e analisados conforme análise de conteúdo. Resultados: Os idosos conceituam saúde para além da ausência de doença, relacionando com qualidade de vida, bem-estar físico, mental, social e espiritual. Para os idosos, a música possibilita interação social, bem-estar, aprendizado, desenvolvimento da memória e desperta emoções. Conclusão: Ficou evidente que a utilização da música, por meio do canto coral, é capaz de promover a saúde da população idosa de forma lúdica, prazerosa, podendo ser também empregada para outros públicos da comunidade por ser uma atividade de baixo custo.Palavras-chave: envelhecimento, música, promoção da saúde, saúde do idoso.
