“…The common aim of these action groups is to increase the average healthy lifespan of EU citizens by 2 years by the year 2020. Considering Action Group A3, it brings together around 100 organizations, studying the association between frailty in the elderly and adverse health outcomes and better preventing/managing the frailty syndrome and its consequences [54].…”

The New Forms of Social Exclusion

Vulnerability can be defined as the quality or state of being exposed to the possibility of being attacked or harmed, either physically or emotionally. In this chapter, it is defined as a possible ability of an individual or a group to face, manage, and anticipate a possible problem. This concept of vulnerability is associated with that of risk factor for social isolation, and therefore to situations that can also lead to illness and lack of mental and physical health. It can have its roots in poverty, in social exclusion, in ethnicity, in disability or simply in disease or specific developmental phases in life. All these aspects reflect very important vulnerability factors among biological, psychological, social, and behavioral variables. To date, no one has highlighted together two critical moments in life in which this brain area undergoes important variations: adolescence, in which its development occurs, and old age, in which this area goes into cognitive decline with the relative loss of many higher cognitive functions. This knowledge can help to better understand the forms of exclusion due to vulnerability in order to develop new forms of social inclusion.

“…Una vez configurado el índice de EA, se analizaron sus predictores y se concluyó que las variables que en mayor medida predicen EA son aquellas relacionadas con la dimensión social, particularmente el apoyo social y estar en pareja. Respecto del ambiente social, diversos modelos y estudios confirman esta relación (Gallardo-Peralta et al, 2016;Liotta et al, 2018;Pruchno et al, 2010), y la revisión de Annear et al (2012) pone de manifiesto la importancia de la diversidad de contactos sociales, el tamaño de la red, la participación laboral y la compañía de amigos en la salud y en las tasas de mortalidad en personas mayores. Por otra parte, Pruchno et al (2010) confirman el efecto del estatus marital como un antecedente de EA, y los hallazgos de Blanco (2010) informan de la importancia del apoyo social y su relación negativa con depresión.…”

“…El interés por comprender el EA ha generado una amplia variedad de estudios que intentan precisar su conceptualización (e.g., Bousquet et al, 2015;Cosco, Prina, Perales, Blossom y Brayne, 2014;Depp y Jeste, 2006) y comprender sus criterios y predictores (Fernández-Ballesteros et al, 2010;Peel, McClure y Bartleet, 2005;Pruchno et al, 2010). Sin embargo, no existe un acuerdo generalizado de lo que lo define ni de cómo operacionalizarlo (Liotta et al, 2018). Junto a esto, se han identificado diversidad de indicadores o criterios de EA, lo que incide en las estimaciones de su prevalencia (Depp y Jeste, 2006;Peel et al, 2005), y genera confusión entre indicadores y predictores (Fernández-Ballesteros et al, 2010).…”

Con el aumento de la población adulta mayor a nivel mundial, existe un creciente interés por comprender los factores implicados en el envejecimiento activo. No obstante, lo extendido del uso del constructo y de investigaciones en la materia, aún persisten complejidades en su operacionalización y factores predictores. En el presente estudio se diseñó un modelo de envejecimiento activo utilizando un modelo MIMIC (Múltiple Causas y Múltiples Indicadores), una variante de ecuaciones estructurales, en una muestra de 204 adultos mayores chilenos. La funcionalidad física y cognitiva, junto a variables asociadas a la tonalidad afectiva, aparecen como causas, mientras que la ausencia de sintomatología depresiva y la condición de activo en el mercado laboral, aparecen como indicadores de envejecimiento activo. El modelo mostró un ajuste satis
