“…It has been previously described that the PCS score of the SF-12 shows impairment with age, and that HZ infection severely impacts HRQoL [ 35 , 36 ]. In addition, it has been recently showed that an episode of HZ could lead to comorbidity decompensation and could jeopardize the health status of an older person with concomitant diabetes, COPD, or cardiovascular disease [ 37 ].…”

BackgroundIn a context of change in the demographic profile of the older population, to identify an age threshold for increased risk and burden of herpes zoster (HZ) in 70+ patients.MethodsPost hoc analysis of the 12-month French nationwide prospective observational ARIZONA cohort study. HZ was assessed by means of the following validated questionnaires: Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory (NPSI), Zoster Brief Pain Inventory (ZBPI), Short-Form health survey (SF-12), and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).Results644 general practitioners included 1,358 volunteer patients with acute HZ in the ARIZONA study; 609 patients (45%) were 70+. In 70+ patients, age did not increase rash severity or HZ-related pain intensity at diagnosis, but increased by 64% the frequency of ophthalmic zoster (from 5.5% in 70–74 years age-group to 9.0% in 85+ patients, p = NS). Age was significantly associated with low physical health as assessed by the SF-12 Physical Component Summary (SF-12 PCS) score and bad mood as assessed by the HADS depression score (p < 0.001). Within the year following HZ, post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) was systematically but not significantly more frequent in 85+ patients than in the 70–74, 75–79, or 80–84 years age-groups (19.0% vs. 13.3%/15.3%/11.6% at month 3; 15.1% vs. 7.3%/11.0%/12.2% at month 6; 15.2% vs. 6.0%/8.0%/6.0% at month12, respectively). SF-12 PCS and HADS depression scores improved from day 0 to month 12 in all patients (p < 0.001). 85+ patients were more impaired than younger patients (p < 0.001), but without clear difference according to PHN.ConclusionsThis study did not show in 70+ patients a clear and significant age threshold at which disease burden increased, although for some domains the impact seemed higher among the oldest patients; the cut-off of 70 years remains thus relevant for clinical and epidemiological studies. However, at individual level, assessment of the burden of HZ and HZ-related pain appears necessary to improve management and prevent functional decline in the most vulnerable 70+ patients.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/1471-2334-14-529) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…The summary scores were calculated using New Zealand population norms and US factor coefficients. 18 All outcomes were assessed at baseline, 4 weeks, and 12 weeks. Potential harms or adverse effects were recorded by asking participants about injuries, hospitalizations, or perceived adverse effects from chiropractic care during the trial.…”

Sensorimotor function and multisensory integration associated with fall risk and the physical component of quality of life improved in older adults receiving chiropractic care compared with control. Future research is needed to investigate the mechanisms of action that contributed to the observed changes in this study and whether chiropractic care has an impact on actual falls risk in older adults.

“…26 The summary scores systematically fall according to age, which also occurs in the population of other countries. [21][22][23]31,32 PCS-12 was more influenced by advances in age. This suggests that losses related to normal ageing may be more related to the physical component, which under-goes inexorable transformations over time.…”
