“…Studies have shown that geriatrics in the vulnerable group have a severe emotional impact with quarantine measures and restrictions during COVID-19 [30]. Fiorillo et al also stated that the social isolation that the elderly are exposed to during the pandemic is a major risk factor for developing anxiety and depression [31]. According to our results, the psychological states of the participants living in rural and urban areas were similar, and there was no presence of depression.…”

Objective: The quarantine precautions implemented during the new type of coronavirus epidemic caused some changes in the daily lives of geriatric individuals. This study aimed to examine whether living in rural or urban areas affects physical activity, depression, and quality of life (QoL) in Turkish geriatrics during pandemic. Method: One hundred three geriatrics were assessed with the videoconferencing method, which was performed once. Participants were divided into two groups according to the area where they lived as rural (n:41) or urban (n:62). In addition, physical activity, presence of depression, and QoL of geriatric were assessed with the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE), Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), and Short Form-36 (SF-36), respectively. Results: According to the results, PASE (p=0.677), GDS (p=0.742), and all sub-dimensions of SF-36 (p>0.05 for all) except pain (p=0.033) of geriatrics were similar in both groups. Also, while there is a low-level relationship between the GDS scores of those living in rural areas and the sub-dimensions of SF-36 physical function (r=-0.381), mental health (r=-0.381), and social functionality (r=-0.395), there was a moderate correlation between the vitality (r=-0.529) and pain (r=-0.536) sub-dimensions. In addition, a strong correlation was found between GDS and the general health perception sub-dimension of SF-36 (r=-0.611). Conclusion: The pandemic-induced quarantine precautions, which were put into effect throughout Turkey, negatively affected the daily life of all people, especially elderly individuals. Because of these precautions, the similarity of daily living activities of the elderly living in rural and urban areas may have caused similar physical activity, depression, and QoL scores.

“…If people went out regularly to do various social activities outside before, with the pandemic, they were no longer able to do so, as from its inception the elderly population was urged to stay at home as much as possible until the vaccines emerged and were administered [ 68 ]. Most interviewees reported a decrease in their outdoor routines, which occurred, essentially, through the reduction in the time allocated to socialization activities and hobbies [ 69 , 70 ], those activities being a source of pleasure, life satisfaction, and well-being.…”

This article aimed to explore the perspectives and experiences of women and men at the stage in their lives following professional retirement, enriching the present and future of a continuously ageing Portuguese society. In order to better capture the diversity and complexity of each individual’s experiences, a qualitative methodology was used. Semi-structured individual interviews were carried out with sixteen retired people, eight women and eight men, aged between 59 and 88 years old. A thematic analysis allowed us to identify five themes in the interviewees’ discourses. We concluded that gender may be a source of heterogeneity at this stage of life, suggesting that these findings should be analysed in the scope of a life course perspective, and highlighting the impact that the different trajectories of women and men have, as well as the historical and social context in which they take place.

“…Além disso, o isolamento forçado pode ser caracterizado como um período de destreinamento, que pode afetar diversos sistemas fisiológicos como os sistemas neuromuscular, cardiovascular e respiratório. Isto pode alterar as capacidades físicas (força e potência muscular, resistência, flexibilidade) (Fiorillo et al, 2021).…”

Objetivo: Identificar as mudanças ocorridas em pessoas idosas durante o distanciamento social na pandemia da COVID-19. Metodologia: Estudo quantitativo, descritivo, realizado no período de agosto de 2020 a março de 2021 com pessoas idosas participantes de um projeto de extensão numa universidade pública do Nordeste. Os dados foram coletados através de formulário eletrônico enviado por meio de um aplicativo de mensagens (WhatsApp), analisados pela estatística descritiva e expressos em frequências absolutas e relativas. Resultados: 91.7% das pessoas idosas afirmaram ter ocorrido mudança no humor, tornando-as mais tristes durante o distanciamento social; 80% passaram a utilizar mais o celular para comunicar-se; 80% afirmaram ter realizado atividade física em casa e 60% acrescentaram uma nova atividade à sua rotina diária. Conclusão: As mudanças encontradas ocorreram nos âmbitos social, mental e físico. Contudo, dentre essas mudanças, a adoção de novos hábitos parece ter sido adotada como uma forma de adaptação ao cenário de isolamento social imposto pela pandemia, sendo muito favorável para todos os pesquisados.
