“…Provision of care and support by families to older people with substantial functional decline is becoming more difficult because of changing household structures [9]. However, enabling older people to remain independent by living in the circumstances they choose over their care pathway is a key principle of a forward looking health and social care policy [10].…”

2 Study HighlightsWhat was already known on the topic  ATs might contribute to an increased sense of safety and security at home  There are barriers to the adoption of ATs What this study added to our knowledge  A general lack of knowledge about the technology needs of elderly people and the different stages of the aging process  Barriers to the adoption of ATs from top critical concern are: privacy, trust, functionality/added value, cost, and ease of use and sustainability for daily use, perception of no need, stigma and fear of dependence  The so-called "gerontechnologies" invokes negative attitudes about ATs acceptance Abstract.Background: Older people generally prefer to continue living in their own homes rather than

“…These declines are powerful predictors of both independence [2], and risk of morbidity [5]. Indeed, a major obstacle to achieving increased health span, reduced morbidity and optimal longevity in individuals is the decline in physiological function that accompanies advancing age [6]. Systemic testosterone (T) concentrations display an analogous pattern of age-associated decline to that of CRF and muscular power [7].…”

AbstractIntroduction: Advancing age is associated with a gradual decline in circulating androgens and the putative role of exercise training on systemic androgens remain to be adequately defined. Results: Analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed a lack of significant change in any parameter amongst LE whilst SED experienced a significant exercise-induced improvement in cardiorespiratory fitness, and total testosterone (all p<0.05). Concurrent increases in sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG; p<0.05) resulted in a lack of change to either bioavailable or calculated free testosterone (p>0.05) amongst SED. MethodsConclusions: Although resting levels of systemic total testosterone increased in response to six weeks of exercise training, increases in SHBG negated any potential relationship between calculated-free or bioavailable testosterone. These findings indicate that increases in bioavailable testosterone fraction are not required for cardiorespiratory fitness improvements in aging men.

“…To optimize their functioning, health systems could be redesigned to better provide coordinated and informed geriatric services that enable older people to age in place (e.g., at home or in the community) to the extent possible (25). Ideally, these services would be seamlessly linked with social and long-term care to provide a continuum of care that extends from home or community to institutional care (24,26). Core services would include prevention and early detection of disease, acute and (37,38).…”
