“…3 About 75% of aging adults have at least 1 chronic condition. 4 Patients hospitalized with diabetes account for 22% of hospital charges. 5 The increased health care cost accrual by those with diabetes is related to the complexity and mix of comorbid conditions such as vascular disorders.…”

Hospitalized adults with diabetes represent a population affected by chronic disease demands that contribute to suboptimal physical and mental functioning. Suboptimal quality of life may contribute to severity of diabetes and to a perception of having a threatening disease trajectory. Hospitalization provides an opportunity for clinicians to intervene in mental and physical functioning by assessing for threatening illness perceptions and employing interventions to promote acceptance of functional limitations.

“…The aging process is associated with an increased prevalence and number of both mental and physical health concerns and disabilities (Blazer, Burchett, Service, & George, 1991; Ko & Coons, 2005; Mroczek & Spiro, 2005). Poor mental health is an important consideration for the older adult population, because it appears to be a substantial component of perceived quality of life (Kahn, Hessling, & Russell, 2003), can affect physical health (Diefenbach, Leventhal, Leventhal, & Miller, 1996), and is likely to impede engagement in positive health behaviors (Cohen-Mansfield, Marx, & Guralnik, 2003).…”

This study examined the relationship between physical activity (PA) and mental health among older adults as measured by objective and subjective PA-assessment instruments. Pedometers (PED), accelerometers (ACC), and the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE) were administered to measure 1 week of PA among 84 adults age 55–87 (mean = 71) years. General mental health was measured using the Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS) and the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWL). Linear regressions revealed that PA estimated by PED significantly predicted 18.1%, 8.3%, and 12.3% of variance in SWL and positive and negative affect, respectively, whereas PA estimated by the PASE did not predict any mental health variables. Results from ACC data were mixed. Hotelling–William tests between correlation coefficients revealed that the relationship between PED and SWL was significantly stronger than the relationship between PASE and SWL. Relationships between PA and mental health might depend on the PA measure used.

“…El concepto de paciente pluripatológico (PPP), aún no cuenta con una definición universalmente aceptada, se ha consolidado entre los profesionales de la medicina para designar a los pacientes, en su mayoría de avanzada edad, en los que concurren varias enfermedades crónicamente sintomáticas y con frecuentes reagudizaciones, que actúan negativamente sobre su situación funcional y que generan una importante demanda en los diferentes niveles asistenciales 1,2 . En los hospitales de agudos de los países desarrollados el ingreso hospitalario de pacientes ancianos con comorbilidad asociada se ha convertido en los últimos años en un fenómeno creciente [1][2][3][4][5][6] . La prevalencia de estos pacientes se ha estudiado fundamentalmente en los servicios de medicina interna, donde aproximadamente el 38% de los pacientes son portadores de enfermedades crónicas consideradas pluripatológicas, ya que afectan a más de un órgano [8][9][10][11][12][13] , junto a una importante limitación funcional ya una edad media de 75 años.…”

<p style="text-align: justify;">Este trabajo, tiene como objetivos determinar las características e incidencias de los pacientes pluripatológicos que sufren de forma simultánea varias enfermedades crónicas. Como método, re realizó un estudio descriptivo a partir del conjunto mínimo básico de datos (CMBD) basados en recopilación de la información publicada y disponible en las diferentes bases de datos, y de una definición funcional de paciente pluripatológico. Se recogen como resultado que aproximadamente el 38% de los ingresos en medicina interna fueron pacientes pluripatológicos. Éstos generalmente son mayores de edad, varones, que ingresan con frecuencia de forma urgente. Se concluye que los pacientes pluripatológicos presentan características diferenciales que permiten su identificación retrospectiva mediante el análisis del CMBD.</p>
