“…Among age-related conditions, perhaps none are more concerning or disheartening to both the individual and loved ones than the loss of memory and (in some cases) subsequent onset of dementia (Riley et al, 2014; Wikler et al, 2013). Dementia, of which Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form, is a potentially debilitating condition which negatively impacts quality of life for both affected patients and caregivers and has tremendous associated healthcare costs (Boustani et al, 2007).…”

Hypertension is a highly prevalent condition with numerous health risks, and the incidence of hypertension is greatest among older adults. Traditional discussions of hypertension have largely focused on the risks for cardiovascular disease and associated events. However, there are a number of collateral effects, including risks for dementia, physical disability, and falls/fractures which are increasingly garnering attention in the hypertension literature. Several key mechanisms – including inflammation, oxidative stress, and endothelial dysfunction – are common to biologic aging and hypertension development and appear to have key mechanistic roles in the development of the cardiovascular and collateral risks of late-life hypertension. The objective of the present review is to highlight the multi-dimensional risks of hypertension among older adults and discuss potential strategies for treatment and future areas of research for improving overall care for older adults with hypertension.

“…In early stages of disease, a patient is often aware of their diagnosis and the stigma associated with it [47] , [48] , [49] , [50] , [51] , [52] , [53] , [54] , [55] . As a result, they may feel shame, anxiety, and depression [47] , [48] , [49] , [50] , [51] . This may make individuals hesitant to disclose their diagnosis or impairments, which can impede their access to care and result in worse health outcomes [47] .…”

Neuroimaging is advancing a new definition of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Using imaging biomarkers, clinicians may begin to diagnose the disease by identifying pathology and neurodegeneration in either cognitively impaired or unimpaired adults. This “biomarker-based” diagnosis may allow clinicians novel opportunities to use interventions that either delay the onset or slow the progression of cognitive decline, but it will also bring novel challenges. How will changing the definition of AD from a clinical to a biomarker construct change the experience of living with the disease? Knowledge of AD biomarker status can affect how individuals feel about themselves (internalized stigma) and how others judge them (public stigma). Following a review of AD stigma, we appraise how advances in diagnosis may enable or interrupt its transfer from clinical to preclinical stages and then explore conceptual and pragmatic challenges to addressing stigma in routine care.

“…Many problems related to the system design and policy directions ensued along with the development of AIP in recent years all over the world. The majority of publications examined the older people's well-being related to AIP, including acquired aging services, nursing practices, emotional concerns, and welfare, [5,6,9,16,[20][21][22][23][24]. Besides, other researchers have conducted studies from the government's perspective and evaluated the performance of different kinds of government policies on AIP [25,26].…”

China currently has an elderly population of 249 million with over 97% of them ending up aging in place. Although various regional pilot programs have been conducted, a sustainable aging-in-place system has not been established to effectively and efficiently provide aging services in many cities of China. The characteristics of stakeholder networks in the aging-in-place systems have not attracted great attention from researchers. This research applies social network analysis to characterize the interactions of stakeholders in aging-in-place systems to facilitate cooperation and coordination amongst them. Using Nanjing as a case study, 23 stakeholders in Nanjing’s aging-in-place system are identified, such as the Aging Affairs Committee, Aging-in-Place Service Association, and aging-in-place service centers; and then the relationship networks of these stakeholders in terms of communication, supervision, and trust are developed and analyzed. The results show that the aging-in-place system suffers from certain defects, including the loose connection of government departments, redundant information channels, low trustworthiness of certain aging-in-place service centers, poor credibility of third-party training and assessment institutions, and excess power of the industry association. To tackle these issues, a wide spectrum of actionable measures applicable to Nanjing’s conditions, as well as high-level policy implications for other cities of China, are proposed for augmenting the communication, supervision, and trust among stakeholder groups.
