Introduction and objective
Social support appears to have a positive impact on the mental health and well-being of post-caregivers. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to examine the perceived social support network and its role in post-caregiving.
Materials and methods
56 family post-caregivers of older people participated in a semi-structured interview. In addition, the Social Support Questionnaire -MOS- and qualitative measures were applied. Descriptive analyses of the relationship between variables were carried out. At the qualitative level, we worked with a phenomenological design using the NVIVO program. Finally, data were triangulated using the mixed concurrent triangulation design methodology (DITRIAC).
Results
Post-care adjustment was positively associated with the dimensions of the perceived social support scale. The network of friends was found to be supportive during the loss, generating spaces for leisure and recreation that allowed post-caregivers to resume their social life. The family unit can move closer or further away. Children played a role of support and companionship for the post-caregivers and are also a source of motivation to cope and adapt to the loss of the cared-for relative. Participants emph
asised the need to feel listened to and welcomed. 64.3% of participants referred to not having received psychological care.
Conclusions
It is essential to carry out interventions that favor the development and maintenance of the family caregiver.

Background and aim
To evaluate the association between sarcopenia and metabolic syndrome.
Patients and methods
A case–control study. Setting. Geriatric Care Clinic of Metepec (México). Inclusion criteria. Outpatients with physical and mental independence to perform daily living activities (DLA). Exclusion criteria. Physical or mental disability requiring assistance from a carer, active cancer, cardiopathies and renal disease.
Patients
124 participants (59.6% women) aged over 60 years (mean age 69.7 years, standard deviation ± 6.5 years).
Measurements
62 with sarcopenia according to the EGWSOP 2019 definition. Hypertension, diabetes, adiposity and dyslipidaemia were assessed, and the prevalence and odds ratio (OR) of metabolic syndrome in cases and controls were calculated.
Results
Participants with sarcopenia were more likely to be female (80% vs. 41.8%), with no major differences from controls in other characteristics. 46.7% of participants were obese and 25.8% in both groups met diagnostic criteria for the metabolic syndrome; of the items defining the metabolic syndrome, only hypertension, obesity grade II and central obesity were associated with the presence of sarcopenia (OR 2.12; 3.39 and 1.93, respectively, with 95% CI).
Conclusions
We could not confirm an association between sarcopenia and the metabolic syndrome, but with the obesity and hypertension components.

The population of very elderly patients (aged 80 years and older) in intensive care units (ICUs) is steadily growing. These patients have unique physiological, cognitive, functional, and social characteristics that affect their entire ICU course. Immobility, delirium, dysphagia, malnutrition, and polypharmacy are among the most common geriatric syndromes in these patients, and they contribute to a higher risk of acute and long-term functional decline and mortality. Risk assessment in very elderly patients is complex, as traditional ICU scoring systems do not account for frailty and baseline disability, making difficult the determination of likely benefits, futility, or harm with ICU interventions. The importance of shared decision-making for treatment plans is critical, as very elderly patients and their families may have uncertain or unrealistic prognostic awareness and expectations of ICU care. Considering the gap between the rapid aging of the population and the socio-health development in Latin America, this population is an important determinant of stress on healthcare systems, however, data on these population is scarce. This review, based on a comprehensive literature search, summarizes recent evidence on triage for ICU admission, specific clinical characteristics, predictive elements of prognosis, and ICU and post-ICU outcomes for very elderly patients while also analyzing the challenges to improve management in the Latin American region.

Introduction
Hip fractures are a common pathology among older adults, often accompanied by significant complications such as delirium, a geriatric syndrome associated with prolonged hospitalization, reduced functional recovery, and decreased overall survival rates. This study aims to determine the incidence of delirium and its correlation with various factors during hospitalization, as well as its impact on short-, medium-, and long-term survival.
Methodology
A retrospective cohort study was undertaken to examine hospital admissions of individuals aged 70 years or older diagnosed with hip fractures at the Hospital Universitario La Ribera in Alzira, Valencia, from January 2012 to December 2021.
Results
A total of 3226 patients were recruited, mean of 85 years, 73.7% females, 26.3% males. Delirium was observed in 10.9% of patients during hospitalization (68.8% females, p = 0.029). Patients diagnosed with delirium exhibited a greater prevalence of dementia (25.2%, p < 0.001) and chronic kidney disease (14.7%, p = 0.018). Delirium was also significantly associated with older age (mean 86.5 years [SD 5.6], p < 0.001), increased number of complications (mean 1.4 [SD 1.6], p < 0.001), cardiac complications (9.1%, p = 0.036), anemia (21.7%, p < 0.001), and urinary tract infections (7.4%, p < 0.001) during hospitalization. Furthermore, patients with delirium experienced a prolonged hospital stay (mean 9 vs. 7.9 days, p < 0.001) and significantly higher short-, medium-, and long-term mortality rates.
Discussion
The study findings underscore a significant association between delirium and comorbidities, complications, and mortality. Early identification of patients at risk for delirium will allow us to implement targeted interventions focused on prevention to enhance patient outcomes.

Introduction/objective
Multidimensional geriatric assessment is an important diagnostic method in geriatrics. The objective of this article was to establish the relationship between nutritional, functional, cognitive status and oral health of institutionalized older adults.
Methodology
A cross-sectional observational study was carried out, where 93 institutionalized older adults participated, including oral assessment and Barthel, Minimental, Mininutritional and Yesavage scales. An univariate, bivariate and multivariate analysis was performed at 2 care sites in the city of Cali, Colombia.
Results
Mean age of the participants was 76.5 years; more than 50% with null or primary educational levels, 23% presented limitation in mobility, arterial hypertension was the most prevalent pathological history with 55%, followed by diabetes mellitus 24%; and 60% of the sample was independent to perform basic activities (Barthel index = 100). Regarding the number of occlusal pairs prosthesis to prosthesis, it was found that the mean of men was lower than women (2.4 and 5.2, P = 0.03). The results showed an altered plaque indicator in patients with cognitive impairment 61.5% versus 100% in patients with dementia screening. Additionally, a number of teeth less than 20 in people with depression indicators in 79.2%. The multivariate analysis showed a relationship with partial or total edentulism, being the total a risk for depressive traits (P = 0.04).
Conclusion
The results show that nutritional, functional, cognitive aspects and depression traits are related to oral health. In addition, it should be noted that a significant proportion of patients require dental intervention.

Introduction
The assessment of frailty is crucial for the management and care of older adults. The Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) has been proposed as a useful and practical tool for this assessment, but its implementation requires translation and validation to the specific cultural context.
Methods
A standardized process of translation and cultural adaptation of the CFS in its second version was carried out. Then, 44 participants were recruited, including geriatricians and geriatrics residents, who evaluated 11 clinical cases using the scale. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to assess the variability between the evaluators.
Results
A total of 484 evaluations were obtained (11 cases, 44 evaluators) with an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.98. The sensitivity analysis showed no differences between subgroups of evaluators separated by years of experience or specialty status (certified geriatricians or those in training).
Conclusions
The Spanish version of the CFS is reliable and practical for the assessment of frailty in older adults in Chile, constituting a valuable tool for this purpose in this context.
