As an introduction to this special issue on geroscience, the present work focuses on the complexity of disentangling biomolecular mechanisms of aging from biopsychosocial causes of accelerated aging. Due to this complexity, the biomolecular aging hallmarks of frailty and multimorbidity as predominant aging phenotypes in geriatrics reflect single aspects of the aging process. A possible approach to facilitate the integration of geroscience into healthcare might be to consider aging as the dynamic ratio between damage accumulation at the molecular and cellular level and resilience as strategies that prevent or repair such damage. There is a large body of evidence to show that geroscience has the potential to change healthcare; however, reaching a consensus and translating the best tool to measure aging needs more research on 1) the sensitivity of biomarkers to interventions and 2) the relationship between changes in biomarkers and changes in health trajectories.

作为本期老年科学特刊的导言,本论文重点探讨了将衰老的生物分子机制与加速衰老的生物心理社会原因区分开来的复杂性。由于这种复杂性,作为老年医学主要衰老表型的虚弱和多病的生物分子衰老特征反映了衰老过程的单一方面。将衰老视为分子和细胞层面损伤积累与预防或修复损伤策略之间的动态比率,可能是促进将老年科学融入医疗保健的一个可行方法。有大量证据表明,环境科学具有改变医疗保健的潜力;然而,要达成共识并转化为衡量衰老的最佳工具,还需要对以下方面进行更多研究:1)生物标志物对干预措施的敏感性;2)生物标志物的变化与健康轨迹变化之间的关系。

As scientists investigated the molecular mechanisms of the biology of aging, they discovered that these are malleable and can enhance healthy longevity by intervening in the drivers of aging, which are leading to disease, dysfunction and death. These exciting observations gave birth to the field of geroscience. As the mechanisms of aging affect almost all mechanisms of life, detailed molecular mechanistic knowledge must be gained or expanded by considering and integrating as many types of data as possible, from genes and transcripts to socioenvironmental factors. Such a large-scale integration of large amounts of data will in turn profit from "deep" bioinformatics analyses that provide insights beyond contextualizing and interpreting the data in the light of knowledge from databases such as the Gene Ontology. The authors suggest that "deep" bioinformatics, employing methods based on artificial intelligence, will be a key ingredient of future analyses.

随着科学家们对衰老生物学分子机制的研究,他们发现这些机制具有可塑性,可以通过干预导致疾病、功能障碍和死亡的衰老驱动因素来提高健康长寿。这些令人兴奋的观察结果催生了地球科学领域。由于衰老机制影响着几乎所有的生命机制,因此必须通过考虑和整合从基因和转录本到社会环境因素等尽可能多的数据类型来获得或扩展详细的分子机制知识。这种对大量数据的大规模整合反过来又将得益于 "深度 "生物信息学分析,这种分析除了根据基因本体论等数据库的知识对数据进行上下文关联和解释之外,还能提供更多的见解。作者认为,采用人工智能方法的 "深度 "生物信息学将成为未来分析的关键要素。

Background and objective: One possible approach to counter singularization and loneliness of older adults is the development and implementation of socially interactive robots. Little is known about the expectations and experiences of older adults with socially interactive humanoid robots.

Material and methods: In a mixed-methods design study, user expectations before interaction and the experience and evaluation of verbal and non-verbal communication after interaction with a robot were assessed. Semi-structured interviews were conducted after the interaction.

Results: The majority of older adults expected verbal communication. After the interaction the evaluation of the quality of verbal communication differed. Participants did not expect any form of nonverbal communication. Nonverbal communication was highlighted as particularly positive. Gestures, facial expressions, and body movements were described as confidence building.

Conclusion: The robot's ability to communicate nonverbally might positively influence older adults' experience of communication with the robot. In the development of socially interactive robots non-verbal communication should be given more consideration in order to contribute to successful human-robot interaction.

背景和目的:解决老年人孤独和寂寞问题的一个可行方法是开发和使用社交互动机器人。但人们对老年人对社交互动仿人机器人的期望和体验知之甚少:在一项混合方法设计的研究中,评估了用户在互动前的期望以及与机器人互动后对语言和非语言交流的体验和评价。互动后进行了半结构式访谈:结果:大多数老年人期望进行语言交流。结果:大多数老年人期望进行语言交流,但在互动后,他们对语言交流质量的评价有所不同。参与者没有期待任何形式的非语言交流。非语言交流被认为是特别积极的。手势、面部表情和肢体动作被描述为建立信心的方式:机器人的非语言交流能力可能会对老年人与机器人交流的体验产生积极影响。在开发社交互动机器人的过程中,应更多地考虑非语言交流,以促进成功的人机交互。

Geroscience in the continuum from healthy longevity to frailty. 从健康长寿到体弱多病的老年科学。
IF 1.1 4区 医学 Q4 GERIATRICS & GERONTOLOGY Pub Date : 2024-08-01 Epub Date: 2024-08-05 DOI: 10.1007/s00391-024-02331-2

The socioeconomic and technological developments of the past decades have enabled unique progress associated to increased life expectancy and better health for a large part of the world's population; however, multimorbidity, frailty and disability are also on the rise. Geroscience as the new biology of aging is based on the evidence that the main risk factor for noncommunicable chronic diseases (NCD) is the aging process; however, its technology is mostly used for the scientific study of longevity and its interaction with aging medicine and geriatrics is still limited. In this perspective, the need for a tighter exchange between geroscience and geriatrics for longer health span and intrinsic capacity is discussed in the context of existing evidence and knowledge gaps.

过去几十年的社会经济和技术发展取得了独特的进步,延长了世界大部分人口的预期寿命,改善了他们的健康状况;然而,多病、虚弱和残疾现象也在增加。老年科学作为老龄化的新生物学,是基于非传染性慢性疾病(NCD)的主要风险因素是老龄化过程的证据;然而,其技术主要用于长寿的科学研究,与老龄医学和老年医学的互动仍然有限。从这一角度出发,结合现有证据和知识差距,讨论了为延长健康寿命和提高内在能力而加强老龄科学与老年医学之间交流的必要性。

Transition from hospital to nursing home: Discharge planners as a potential lever for quality improvements? 从医院到疗养院的过渡:出院计划人员是提高质量的潜在杠杆?

Background: Public reporting is supposed to be helpful in differentiating between well and poorly performing nursing homes; however, hospital patients often have difficulties to deal with quality information. Discharge planners (DP) can support them in comparing quality and, by influencing patients' decision, lead to better provision of care in nursing homes.

Objective: This study investigated the choice behavior of DP, their use of quality information and the potential to impact the decision-making of patients.

Material and methods: A total of 70 DP from German hospitals with a geriatric department participated in an online survey. They were asked about information preferences and tools used for nursing home searches. In addition, they assessed quality information items from the new German quality reporting on a Likert scale. To test their comprehension participants were given a case scenario of a typical patient, were shown nursing homes displayed based on a medical comparison portal navigator (AOK-Pflegenavigator) and were asked to select nursing homes in a 3-round experiment.

Results: When looking for a nursing home, DP primarily rely on internal nursing home directories (n = 62; 92.5%). The 3 preferred criteria for decision are: distance to the family (n = 55; 28.80%), bed availability (n = 51; 26.7%) and wishes of patients/relatives (n = 41; 21.47%). The consent score for public reporting was 46.28% and the comprehension ratio was 82.24%.

Discussion: The DP do not advise hospital patients on the performance of nursing homes and rely on the decision-making of patients. This results in a lack of impact on patients' decisions and consequently in a loss of potential for public reporting to lead to better care in nursing homes.

背景:公共报告理应有助于区分表现良好和欠佳的疗养院;然而,医院病人往往难以处理质量信息。出院计划员(DP)可以帮助他们比较质量,并通过影响病人的决定,促使疗养院提供更好的护理:本研究调查了出院规划师的选择行为、他们对质量信息的使用以及影响患者决策的潜力:共有 70 名来自德国设有老年病科的医院的住院医生参与了在线调查。调查询问了他们对信息的偏好以及在寻找养老院时使用的工具。此外,他们还用李克特量表对德国新质量报告中的质量信息项目进行了评估。为了测试他们的理解能力,我们给参与者提供了一个典型病人的案例情景,展示了基于医疗比较门户导航器(AOK-Pflegenavigator)的疗养院,并要求他们在三轮实验中选择疗养院:结果:在寻找疗养院时,民主党主要依靠内部疗养院目录(n = 62;92.5%)。首选的 3 个决定标准是:与家人的距离(n = 55;28.80%)、床位的可用性(n = 51;26.7%)和病人/亲属的意愿(n = 41;21.47%)。公开报告的同意率为 46.28%,理解率为 82.24%:讨论:民主党不会就疗养院的表现向医院病人提供建议,而是依赖病人的决策。这导致对病人的决定缺乏影响,从而使公众报告失去了改善疗养院护理的潜力。

[Implementation of fall sensors in long-term care : An interview study to identify promoting and inhibiting factors from the perspective of professional caregivers]. [跌倒传感器在长期护理中的应用:从专业护理人员的角度确定促进和抑制因素的访谈研究]。
IF 1.1 4区 医学 Q4 GERIATRICS & GERONTOLOGY Pub Date : 2024-07-01 Epub Date: 2023-11-08 DOI: 10.1007/s00391-023-02255-3

Background and objective: Digital support systems are becoming increasingly more important in long-term inpatient care facilities. Welfare technologies have the potential to make a valuable contribution to maintaining independence in advanced age. At the same time the technologies can support professional caregivers. The aim of the study was to describe the expectations and experiences with a new technology, using the example of a fall sensor system, from the perspective of professional caregivers.

Method: We used a qualitative design with semistructured interviews in two long-term inpatient care facilities. In one facility, three individual interviews took place, while in the other long-term care facility, a group interview with three nursing professionals was conducted. Additionally, one individual interview was conducted with a person in a leadership role in each facility. The time from implementation of the fall sensors to the interviews was between 1 and 3 months. Data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis in MAXQDA.

Results and discussion: The study demonstrated that there was a correspondence between expectations of and retrospective experiences with the new technology among professional nurses. The main facilitating factors of the implementation that were identified were timely information about the risk of falling or a fall that has occurred, maintenance of residents' autonomy and freedom of movement as well as the enhancement of the sense of security among nursing professionals and the associated psychological relief effect. The inhibiting factors of the implementation were compulsory presetting, false alarms and faulty handling of the technology due to missing knowledge.

背景和目标:数字支持系统在长期住院护理机构中变得越来越重要。福利技术有可能为老年人保持独立做出宝贵贡献。同时,这些技术可以支持专业护理人员。该研究的目的是从专业护理人员的角度,以跌倒传感器系统为例,描述对新技术的期望和体验。方法:我们在两个长期住院护理机构中采用了半结构访谈的定性设计。在一个机构中,进行了三次个人访谈,而在另一个长期护理机构中,对三名护理专业人员进行了集体访谈。此外,还对每个设施的一名领导人员进行了一次单独访谈。从实施跌倒传感器到访谈的时间在1到3个月之间。使用MAXQDA中的定性内容分析对数据进行分析。结果与讨论:研究表明,专业护士对新技术的期望与回顾性经验之间存在一致性。已确定的实施的主要促进因素是及时了解跌倒或已发生跌倒的风险,维护居民的自主性和行动自由,以及增强护理专业人员的安全感和相关的心理缓解效果。实施的抑制因素是强制预设、错误警报和由于知识缺失而导致的技术处理错误。

This case report details the assessment and interdisciplinary collaboration in the management of an 81-year-old patient presenting with acute visual impairment, dizziness, general weakness, gait disturbances and fear of falling. A holistic geriatric evaluation revealed orthostatic dysregulation and an underlying multifactorial gait disorder exacerbated by visual impairment. Ophthalmological findings included left central retinal artery branch occlusion and cataracts. A comprehensive geriatric assessment showed frailty, impaired mobility and decreased functional abilities. Subsequent patient-centered interdisciplinary approaches included treatment for retinal ischemia, orthostatic testing, medication reconciliation, physiotherapy and occupational therapy. This case emphasizes how interdisciplinary collaboration between ophthalmology and geriatrics enables proactive assessment and intervention to reduce the risk of functional decline and loss of autonomy in visually impaired patients, which is of particular relevance considering the increasing prevalence of visual impairment in the ageing population.

本病例报告详细介绍了对一名 81 岁患者进行评估和跨学科合作治疗的过程,患者表现为急性视力障碍、头晕、全身无力、步态障碍和害怕跌倒。全面的老年病学评估显示,患者存在正张力失调和潜在的多因素步态障碍,而视力损伤又加剧了这种障碍。眼科检查结果包括左视网膜中央动脉分支闭塞和白内障。全面的老年病学评估显示,患者体质虚弱、活动能力受损、功能减退。随后,以患者为中心的跨学科治疗方法包括视网膜缺血治疗、正压测试、药物调节、物理治疗和职业治疗。本病例强调了眼科和老年病科之间的跨学科合作如何通过积极的评估和干预来降低视力受损患者功能衰退和丧失自主能力的风险,考虑到老龄化人口中视力受损的发生率越来越高,这一点尤为重要。
