As the aging population is increasing substantially worldwide, extending the healthy life expectancy of older people has become a challenging issue. The structure and function of skeletal muscle decline with age, and this change has been shown to be involved in the development of various adverse health outcomes. In recent years, sarcopenia, a disease that is associated with age-related skeletal muscle mass loss and muscle weakness, has been attracting attention, and disuse muscle atrophy is also an important condition. For these diseases, it is recommended to increase exercise and physical activity, especially resistance exercise. In addition to conducting further research, it is necessary to widely disseminate information regarding the significance of exercise and physical activity as cost-effective interventions to the general public as well as health care professionals.

This pilot study investigated a manualized lifestyle-based intervention, Physically Active Lifestyle Modification (PALM) program, designed to increase physical activity in the daily life routines of Taiwanese older adults and improve their quality of life. Thirty older adults who attended a Senior Citizens Learning Camp in Taiwan participated in the program. Quantitative measures and qualitative interviews were employed to study the intervention's effect on quality of life and to capture participants' subjective experiences in the program. Results revealed significant improvement in both physical and mental component summary of the RAND 36-Item Short Form Health Survey. Interview data revealed 4 key themes: change in action, self-awareness of occupational pattern, acquisition of health information, and social participation.

Physical activity is positively associated with the health of older adults. Walking is a simple activity that can be applied to older adults. This article aims to systematically review and meta-analyze the effects of walking on physical fitness in older adults. Studies were searched from 13 databases. Results showed that walking could improve aerobic endurance (21.04, 95% CI [13.82, 28.27]), lower body strength (2.77, 95% CI [1.46, 4.09]), static balance (6.07, 95% CI [3.34, 8.79]), and agility and dynamic balance (1.52, 95% CI [0.23, 2.80]). Walking is effective and should be promoted to improve the physical function of older adults.

This secondary data analysis project examined the relative importance of physical activity (PA) and body composition on homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) in older adults and investigated possible racial and/or ethnic differences in these relationships. The analysis included 717 participants from the 2017-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey study who were 55 years of age or older without diabetes. Results show that HOMA-IR increased with increasing levels of recreational PA, with 1 exception: HOMA-IR decreased with increasing levels of recreational PA in individuals with lower body mass index levels. Racial/ethnic differences in these relationships were identified.

The objective of this study was to explore whether (1) the 2 short-term lifestyle intervention programs (ie, lifestyle modification for the elderly [LiME] and prescription for a healthy life [PHL]) increase behavioral outcome in meaningful activity participation, and health outcomes in physical function, cognition, and health-related quality of life and (2) the multimodule program (LiME) has better outcomes? Twenty-one community older adults were recruited to join the 2 programs: 9 in LiME and 12 in PHL. Both programs conducted 12 weekly group sessions, including 1 outing. LiME showed positive within-group outcomes in physical, mental, and quality of life. PHL did not demonstrate any significant health outcome. Neither program had noted behavior outcome. The results of LiME and PHL at any time point did not show a significant between-group difference. LiME was a rarely seen short-term (3 months) lifestyle intervention program that demonstrated positive outcomes on physical function, cognition, and quality of life among community older adults.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate the psychological impact of a chair-based dance intervention for older people with depressive symptoms in residential care in Macau. In addition, feasibility and acceptability of this complex intervention were explored. Methods: An exploratory phase quasiexperimental study with pre- and posttest intervention was used. Psychological data for the study were collected using several self-reported questionnaires, including the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) Short-Form, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), University of California, Los Angeles Loneliness Scale (UCLA-LS), and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale-10 item (CD-RISC-10). In addition, sociodemographic characteristics were collected from the 13 residents who fully completed the study. Results: After receiving chair-based dance intervention, the mean GDS score (P = .001), mean MSPSS score (P = .000), mean UCLA-LS score (P = .000), and mean CD-RISC-10 score (P = .012) of the group improved with statistical significance. From the scores of the primary outcome, the GDS-15, item 2 “dropped many of your activities and interests” improved the most (−46%), followed by item 5 “in good spirits” (−43%), then item 3 “life is empty” (−33%) and item 7 “feel happy” (−33%). Conclusion: Our chair-based dance intervention may have a positive effect on decreasing symptoms of depression and improving other aspects of psychological well-being in older Chinese people in long-term residential care. In addition, chair-based dance would appear to be a safe, inexpensive, feasible, and acceptable form of intervention for rehabilitation in this setting. These findings provide valuable information to inform a full randomized controlled trial.

Aim: To investigate the correlation of lower-limb muscle function with clinical status, balance, and quality of life in individuals with Parkinson disease (PD). Methods: Twenty-five participants were included. Outcome measures were assessed through scales and questionnaires. Quadriceps muscle function was assessed through a maximal isometric voluntary contraction. Spearman's correlation coefficient (ρ) analysis was performed. Results: Quadriceps peak force was negatively correlated with scores of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) part III (ρ= 0.610) but positively correlated with scores of the Mini-BESTest (ρ= 0.484) and the Timed Up and Go test (ρ= 0.528). The rate of force development was negatively correlated with scores of the UPDRS II (ρ=−0.437) and III (ρ=−0.577). Force variability was positively correlated with the quality of life (Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire 39; ρ= 0.455). Conclusion: Better quadriceps muscle function is associated with better clinical status, balance, and quality of life in people with PD.
