“…For older adults (≥65 years old) with lower socio-economic status (SES) [ 9 ] (i.e., low-income and low literacy), systematic barriers make even this nuanced conceptualization of Successful Aging a challenging endeavor [ 10 ]. An examination of socio-economic factors explains how people with low-educational attainment and low-income can fail to meet the objective measures of Successful Aging.…”

Mobile health (mHealth) technologies offer an opportunity to enable the care and support of community-dwelling older adults, however, research examining the use of mHealth in delivering quality of life (QoL) improvements in the older population is limited. We developed a tablet application (eSeniorCare) based on the Successful Aging framework and investigated its feasibility among older adults with low socioeconomic status. Twenty five participants (females = 14, mean age = 65 years) used the app to set and track medication intake reminders and health goals, and to play selected casual mobile games for 24 weeks. The Older person QoL and Short Health (SF12v2) surveys were administered before and after the study. The Wilcoxon rank tests were used to determine differences from baseline, and thematic analysis was used to analyze post-study interview data. The improvements in health-related QoL (HRQoL) scores were statistically significant (V=41.5, p=0.005856) across all participants. The frequent eSeniorCare users experienced statistically significant improvements in their physical health (V=13, p=0.04546) and HRQoL (V=7.5, p=0.0050307) scores. Participants reported that the eSeniorCare app motivated timely medication intake and health goals achievement, whereas tablet games promoted mental stimulation. Participants were willing to use mobile apps to self-manage their medications (70%) and adopt healthy activities (72%), while 92% wanted to recommend eSeniorCare to a friend. This study shows the feasibility and possible impact of an mHealth tool on the health-related QoL in older adults with a low socioeconomic status. mHealth support tools and future research to determine their effects are warranted for this population.

Background: Studying lifestyles has always been important; quantifying them has become more complex. However, a questionnaire produced in 1983 has shown that its simple form of evaluation can be an added value in understanding lifestyles. Our aim is a systematic review of the scientific literature about the use of the FANTASTIC Lifestyle questionnaire (FLQ). Methods: The reflective systematic literature review on PubMed, Medline, Science Direct, and SCIELO databases with the descriptors "FANTASTIC Lifestyle questionnaire" OR "FANTASTICO questionnaire" OR "FANTASTIC questionnaire" OR "FANTASTIC survey" OR "FANTASTIC checklist". PRISMA criteria reporting of systematic reviews and meta-analyses were applied. The inclusion criteria were the use of FLQ instrument to measure lifestyles, presenting quantitative or qualitative results, and psychometric studies. It excluded other lifestyle instruments, incomplete articles, and non-English, Brazilian, Spanish, and Portuguese language articles. Results: Findings reveal 41 scientific articles included in the study. It analyzed the results and most studies use the instrument to assess all dimensions. However, some studies reported assessing specific dimensions such as nutrition, sleep, stress, tobacco, alcohol, and drugs. The questionnaire has been applied to a wide range of ages and literacy levels. Conclusion: This literature review allowed us to conclude that this questionnaire is still in use today and is applied in several contexts and populations. It is also possible to verify the relevance of its use and to design intervention strategies and programs for a healthy society. It is essential to draw attention to this issue and promote health literacy (HL) on this topic.

“…Recent evidence accentuates the significant influence of socioeconomic factors such as place of residence and household income on individuals’ chronic conditions, 21 HRQoL, 22 and lifestyle choices. 23 Notably, individuals residing in China’s rural areas with lower household incomes may experience a higher prevalence of NCDs, a lower level of HRQoL, and distinct lifestyles.…”

Purpose With population aging, individuals in underdeveloped areas may experience a higher prevalence of chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs), a lower level of health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and distinct lifestyles. However, this triadic association remains inadequately studied, particularly regarding the role of health lifestyle. This study aims to examine the relationship between the number of NCDs and HRQoL, while considering the moderating effect of health lifestyle among middle-aged and older adults residing in resource-limited areas. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted in Yunnan Province from July to December 2022. Participants completed a self-report questionnaire related to socio-demographic information, NCDs conditions, health lifestyle status, and HRQoL, which was assessed using the EuroQol five-dimension five-level (EQ-5D-5L) scale. Hierarchical regression and simple slope tests were used to examine the moderating effect of health lifestyle. Results Out of the total 2704 participants, 57.91% presented at least one NCD. The mean scores for health lifestyle and health utility value were 11.109 and 0.944 respectively. The number of NCDs was negatively associated with health utility value, while positively correlated with the health lifestyle score ( P <0.001). The results of hierarchical regression indicated that health lifestyle exerted a negative moderating effect on the relationship between the number of NCDs and HRQoL ( β =0.006, P <0.001), which was also observed for specific health-related behaviors such as sleep duration ( β =0.013, P <0.001), physical examination attendance ( β =0.006, P <0.05) and physical activity ( β =0.013, P <0.001). Conclusion These findings highlight the crucial role of a healthy lifestyle in attenuating the association between the number of NCDs and HRQoL. Recognizing the potential modulating influence of a healthy lifestyle in this relationship could be pivotal for developing effective interventions for this population, even within resource-constrained rural settings.
