“…None of the studies focused on social health; however, two studies assessed social-health related outcomes [38, 64]. The majority (85.7%) of the studies assessed interventions considered as universal prevention programs, and 14.3% were indicated prevention programs [38, 66, 69]. Only five (23.8%) of the interventions were designed based on a theoretical model; specifically, the cognitive psychology theoretical models [67, 70–73].…”

“…Regarding the interface of the game, 38.1% of the interventions used movement to register the players’ performance (Wii or Kinect technology); 23.8% used manual devices (buttons, keyboards, gamepad or console) [37, 64, 65, 68, 70]; 23.8% used a digital carpet or balance board [39, 66, 74–76]; and 14.3% used a touchscreen [43, 67, 71]. A minority (28.6%) of the interventions used serious video games (brain training interventions) [37, 43, 64, 65, 67, 71], 57.1% used exergames [38–40, 66, 69, 72–78] and 14.3% used casual video games [65, 68, 79].…”

BackgroundDue to the appeal and recent technological advances of video games, the games have gained interest as an intervention tool for active aging. The aim of this systematic literature review and meta-analysis was to determine the efficacy of video games for active aging and to examine the influence of potential moderator variables.MethodsA systematic search was done using the following databases: Medline, PsycINFO, EMBASE, CINAHL and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. In addition, previous reviews and meta-analyses were used to identify randomized controlled trials (RCT) of video game-based interventions for active aging published through February 28, 2018. An evaluation of the methodological quality of the articles and a meta-analysis and moderator analysis was conducted.ResultsA total of 22 articles depicting 21 RCT with 1125 participants were included. The results indicated that video game-based interventions produced positive effects on objectively measured physical health, negative affect and social health, with small effect sizes (d = 0.41, d = 0.26 and d = 0.40, respectively). The magnitude of this effect was moderated by the presence of subclinical conditions of participants, the type of game (exergames), the presence of physical activity, the type of prevention (indicated), non-blinded assignation, and older age of participants. The methodological quality of the studies was acceptable, the weakest area being external validity.ConclusionThese finding indicate that video game-based interventions may assist adults in leading active aging processes and preventing secondary aging. Although more research is needed, video game-based interventions are a promising and accessible tool for active aging promotion.

Li et al 12 Chao et al 13 Chesler et al 14 Rendon et al 15 and Rosenberg et al 16 all conducted studies on the effects of video games on elderly depression, although Randon And colleagues examined depression as a secondary objective along with their research goals.

Introduction: Considering the increase in human life and increased disorders such as depression and loneliness, especially in the elderly, many studies have been conducted on the emergence of new and affordable technology for the treatment of mental disorders. Among the innovative technologies, in recent decades, we have seen an increase in the use of digital interventions with the nature of the game in the treatment of mental disorders. Purpose: To review existing studies that examines the impact of video games on depression and loneliness in the elderly. Methodology: This review study was conducted using the search engines on the google scholar, science direct, Scopus, Pubmed, Magiran, SID and Proquest databases from 2007 to January 2019. Articles that had inclusion criteria were reviewed. Findings: Out of articles related to the subject, nine articles came up with a final review, of which three evaluated the impact of Nintendo wii's games, 5 studies on the effects of exer game and a study of the effect of virtual reality games. Five studies examined the impact of video games on depression and four studies investigated their effect on loneliness. Most of these articles have a positive effect on depression and loneliness in the elderly. Conclusion: According to the results, video games improve depression and loneliness in the elderly. Most articles support the positive impact of these games on depression and loneliness in the elderly. Recommendation: Considering the positive impact of video games and the increased interest of the elderly in these games, it is recommended that video games be included in the daily agenda of the elderly, and given the greater impact of it in groups, the conditions for performing these games in groups should be provided.

“…). Caso as várias práticas da concepção do lúdico sejam prevalecidas, estudos relevantes(Bateson, 2015;Li et a., 2016) para a área têm apontado que a ludicidade é fundamental para o desenvolvimento integral do aluno, ofertando tanto para a criança, como até mesmo para adultos, condições de criar relações com os objetos, com as pessoas que os cercam e com o mundo a sua volta(Lockwood, 2016). assim, os educadores precisam ter um objetivo definido para ter um resultado esperado com um jogo específico.…”
