“…There has been a demographic and epidemiological transition that has increased aging and chronic noncommunicable diseases in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) ( 1 ) such as Thailand ( 2 – 5 ). This may include multimorbidity (MM) (co-existence of ≥2 chronic conditions) and functional disability in LMICs, including Thailand, which are an increasing burden on the healthcare systems ( 6 – 13 ).…”

ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to assess the bidirectional association between multimorbidity (MM) and functional disability among middle-aged and older adults in a longitudinal study in Thailand.MethodsWe analyzed longitudinal data of participants aged 45 years and older from two consecutive waves (in 2015 and 2017) of the Health, Aging, and Retirement in Thailand (HART). Functional disability was assessed with a 4-item activity of daily living (ADL) scale. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess the association between baseline functional disability and incident MM (≥2), and baseline morbidity and incident functional disability.ResultsThe results indicate that a total of 1,716 individuals without morbidity at baseline and 3,529 without functional disability at baseline were included. At follow-up, 16.7 and 20.0% of functional disability cases and 7.1 and 3.6% of nonfunctional disability cases developed 2 morbidities and 3 or more morbidities, respectively, and 6.6% of MM cases and 4.0% of non-MM cases developed a functional disability. In the final logistic regression model adjusted for education, income, age, marital status, sex, smoking tobacco, body mass index (BMI), alcohol use, physical activity, and social engagement, functional disability at baseline was positively associated with incident MM (≥2) (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 2.58, 95% CI: 1.42–4.72), and MM (≥3) at baseline was positively associated with incident functional disability (aOR: 1.97, 95% CI: 1.13–3.43).ConclusionMultimorbidity and functional disability were bidirectionally associated.

The influence of digital technology and sociocultural adaptation is currently quickly changing society. Understanding the disparities between generations was necessary for moving on to the next generation together. The purposes of this research were to 1) study patterns of improving the quality of life of the elderly in different family styles, and 2) develop a curriculum of self-awareness in bringing the parenting skills of the aging population to early childhood using contemplative education. Data were collected by using questionnaires from 285 elderly northeast people in one province of Thailand, semi-structured interviews conducted with 22 elderly people. The curriculum of self-awareness used Delphi technique to assess its the appropriateness. Six key attributes were reported in learning participation, acceptance of original experiences, self-guided learning, critical thinking, action, and reflection. Elderly needed self-development for applying knowledge and skills to correct actual parenting situations.

Introduction The purpose of this study was to assess the bidirectional association between multimorbidity (MM) and probable depression in a longitudinal study in Thailand. Methods We analyzed longitudinal data of participants 45 years and older from two consecutive waves (in 2015 and 2017) of Health, Aging, and Retirement in Thailand (HART). Probable depression was assessed using the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression scale. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess the association between baseline probable depression and incident physical MM, and baseline physical MM and incident probable depression. Results In all, 2712 participants without MM at baseline and 2684 without probable depression at baseline were included. At follow-up 15.6% of probable depression cases and 11.4% of nonprobable depression cases developed physical MM, and at follow-up 13.3% of physical MM cases and 8.9% of nonphysical MM cases developed probable depression. In the final logistic regression analysis, adjusted for age, sex, marital status, income, education, body mass index, physical activity, smoking tobacco, alcohol use, and social engagement, probable depression at baseline was positively associated with incident physical MM (aOR: 1.50, 95% CI: 1.09 to 2.06), and physical MM at baseline was positively associated with incident probable depression (aOR: 1.47, 95% CI: 1.07 to 2.02). Discussion Baseline physical MM increases the risk of incident probable depression and baseline probable depression increases the risk of incident physical MM among middle-aged and older adults in Thailand.
