“…They also observe that a more negative SPA is associated with more negative mental and physical health even among individuals with cancer. This last observation was also observed in a previous study: among 101 patients suffering from a cancer (breast, gynecological, lung, or hematological), it was observed that patients with a more negative SPA reported worse physical and mental health . Moreover, this negative association between SPA and physical and mental health is confirmed with a 1‐year follow‐up among the same patients .…”

“…All scores are transformed into a 0‐100 scale, with a higher score representing a better health. For conceptual matters, we have distinguished physical and mental health as we have done for the cross‐sectional and longitudinal study . For physical health (Cronbach's α = 0.90), we have included the following parameters (19 items): (a) the physical and role functioning scales; (b) symptom scales and single items.…”

Objective Several studies show that self‐perception of aging (SPA) is a significant predictor of mental and physical health. In this study, we analyze the effect of SPA on mortality in the specific context of geriatric oncology. Methods The sample constituted of 140 individuals aged 65 years and older suffering from a recent nonmetastatic cancer (breast, lung, gynecological, or hematological), followed up to 6 years. We used Cox proportional hazards model to assess the effect of SPA at baseline on mortality. It was adjusted for age, gender, educational and cognitive level, oncological information (the site and kind of cancer), number of comorbidities, and physical and mental health at baseline. Results Patients were aged 73 years at diagnosis and were more often women (85.7%). Individuals with more negative SPA were 3.62 times more likely to die than those with a more positive SPA, with control of gender, age, education and cognitive level, mental and physical health, the category (breast, lung, gynecological, or hematological), and kind (initial or recurrence) of cancer. Conclusions These findings suggest that SPA influence the mortality of older people in the particular context of oncology. Therefore, the need to change our attitudes toward aging and older people implied indirectly by these results is discussed.

“…The number of drugs taken per day was the 2 nd most important determinant of HSP, as older adults that took fewer drugs were 1.26 times more likely to have a positive HSP. Polypharmacy, use of multiples medicines, was common among our older adults, and studies that focused more on clinical variables found that older adults with polypharmacy perceived their health as poor or worst than older adults with non-polypharmacy (20,49). Higher education was also found to have an impact on a better HSP, like in other studies (39,40).…”

Background: To examine the effects of physical and mental health factors and family functioning on the self-perception of ageing in elderly people.Methods: A random cluster sampling method was used to select elderly people aged over 60 from three communities in Handan City. Subjects were evaluated via face-toface interviews using the Chinese version of the Ageing Perception Questionnaire, the Family Function Scale, the SF-36 Short-Form Health Survey, and a self-compiled general questionnaire. A single factor and stepwise multiple regression analysis were evaluated using SPSS 17.0 software.Results: Among the 1815 elderly people surveyed, the total negative dimension score was 91.67 ± 16.58 with an index of 73.34%, which is higher than the positive dimension score (6.01 ± 0.52, 60.10%). Elderly people with varying degrees of family dysfunction accounted for 11.63%, and the score for self-perceived ageing in elderly participants with good family function was 95.74 ± 12.63. The proportions with poor physical and mental health factors were 45.40% and 28.10%, respectively, and the scores for ageing self-perception in elderly participants with good or moderate mental health were 89.11 ± 12.65 and 86.22 ± 12.58, respectively. A stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that age, presence of a spouse, and family function were positive protective factors for ageing self-perception, while physical health factors were risk factors for the positive dimension of self-perceived ageing. Age and family function were risk factors for the negative dimension of ageing self-perception, while physical and mental health factors were protective factors for the negative dimension of self-perceived ageing.Conclusions: Younger elderly and elderly people with good family function have positive self-perceptions of ageing, while elderly participants with poor physical and mental health have a negative perception of ageing.
