“…The biggest contributor to the increased prevalence of chronic conditions in the United States is population aging, where people with chronic conditions use more health care (Bernstein & Munoz, 2012; Freid, Bernstein, & Bush, 2012; Song & Chen, 2015). Patients manage their chronic conditions by HI seeking and often using this information to communicate with multiple health care providers about different conditions while gaining expertise on their health to become better self-advocates (Zulman et al, 2015).…”

“…The worldwide expansion of aging populations has become a major public health challenge (Song and Chen, 2015). Increased lifespan has resulted in a steady rise of debilitating diseases related to aging, including neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most common type of dementia (Alzheimer’s Association, 2015), and age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of visual loss and blindness worldwide (Lim et al, 2012).…”

Introduction: An unwanted consequence of population aging is the growing number of elderly at risk of neurodegenerative disorders, including dementia and macular degeneration. As nutritional and behavioral changes can delay disease progression, we designed the Walnuts and Healthy Aging (WAHA) study, a two-center, randomized, 2-year clinical trial conducted in free-living, cognitively healthy elderly men and women. Our interest in exploring the role of walnuts in maintaining cognitive and retinal health is based on extensive evidence supporting their cardio-protective and vascular health effects, which are linked to bioactive components, such as n-3 fatty acids and polyphenols.Methods: The primary aim of WAHA is to examine the effects of ingesting walnuts daily for 2 years on cognitive function and retinal health, assessed with a battery of neuropsychological tests and optical coherence tomography, respectively. All participants followed their habitual diet, adding walnuts at 15% of energy (≈30–60 g/day) (walnut group) or abstaining from walnuts (control group). Secondary outcomes include changes in adiposity, blood pressure, and serum and urinary biomarkers in all participants and brain magnetic resonance imaging in a subset.Results: From May 2012 to May 2014, 708 participants (mean age 69 years, 68% women) were randomized. The study ended in May 2016 with a 90% retention rate.Discussion: The results of WAHA might provide high-level evidence of the benefit of regular walnut consumption in delaying the onset of age-related cognitive impairment and retinal pathology. The findings should translate into public health policy and sound recommendations to the general population (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT01634841).

“…Embora os avanços científicos não possibilitassem uma velhice sem perdas, o processo de envelhecimento bem-sucedido implica a ideia da adoção de comportamentos de promoção da saúde para chegar à fase da velhice apresentando boa energia física decorrente da conservação da saúde (Martin et al, 2015). No cenário internacional estudos discutem ações preventivas e interventivas, com o apoio de investimentos financeiros e da tecnologia, para promover a qualidade da saúde e dos serviços de transporte, e assim garantir os direitos dos idosos (Torrado Ramos et al, 2014;Song & Chen, 2015). Neste sentido, o estudo das representações sociais permite compreender os processos envolvidos na adaptação e perspectivas dos indivíduos ou grupos à realidade atual, conforme as características de seu ambiente social e ideológico.…”

Resumo Todo percurso brasileiro, para favorecer políticas públicas de proteção e integração do idoso na sociedade, aparentemente apresenta uma lacuna. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi identificar as representações sociais de conselheiros sobre o conselho municipal do idoso. Participaram 36 integrantes de Conselhos Municipais dos Direitos do Idoso (CMDI) de quatro municípios da região oeste da grande São Paulo, de ambos os sexos, com idades entre 20 e 80 anos. Para a coleta de dados utilizou-se questionário sociodemográfico e entrevista semiestruturada. Os dados foram analisados pela Classificação Hierárquica Descendente, com o apoio do software Interface de R pour analyses Multidimensionnelles de Textes et de Questionnaires (IRAMUTEQ). Os resultados apontaram que a maior preocupação dos participantes diz respeito às violações dos direitos dos idosos. Ainda foi possível identificar que suas representações estão pautadas na dinâmica e nas diretrizes para atuação no CMDI. Considerou-se que apesar dos conselheiros do CMDI terem como função fiscalizar e regularizar políticas públicas efetivas para a população idosa, eles deparam-se com dificuldades para exercer plenamente a função de conselheiro.
