Random Forests Model

Background: We aimed to develop a model predicting the participation of the elderly in a cognitive health program using the random forest algorithm and presented baseline information for enhancing cognitive health. Methods: This study analyzed the raw data of Seoul Welfare Panel Study (SWPS) (20), which was surveyed by Seoul Welfare Foundation for the residents of Seoul from Jun 1st to Aug 31st, 2015. Subjects were 2,111 (879 men and 1232 women) persons aged 60 yr and older living in the community who were not diagnosed with dementia. The outcome variable was the intention to participate in a cognitive health promotion program. A prediction model was developed by the use of a Random forests and the results of the developed model were compared with those of a decision tree analysis based on classification and regression tree (CART). Results: The random forests model predicted education level, subjective health, subjective friendship, subjective family bond, mean monthly family income, age, smoking, living with a spouse or not, depression history, drinking, and regular exercise as the major variables. The analysis results of test data showed that the accuracy of the random forests was 72.3% and that of the CART model was 70.9%. Conclusion: It is necessary to develop a customized health promotion program considering the characteristics of subjects in order to implement a program effectively based on the developed model to predict participation in a cognitive health promotion program.

Intervention Trials

RÉSUMÉLe projet FIT – Falls Intervention Trials (étude sur les essais d'intervention après les chutes) – consistait en une étude clinique avec répartition aléatoire des effets d'un programme visant à réduire l'incidence de chutes et leurs séquelles chez les personnes âgées. L'échantillon se composait de 100 personnes de 60 ans et plus, vivant dans la région de la capitale provinciale (Victoria, C.-B.) et ayant fait une chute au cours des trois mois précédant l'étude. L'intervention prenait la forme d'une évaluation détaillée des risques, de commentaires individuels quant aux risques déterminés, ainsi qu'une bande vidéo accompagnée d'une brochure d'information intitulées Head over Heels. La mesure des résultats comprenait l'incidence des chutes, l'auto-efficacité en cas de chutes, la crainte de chuter, le fonctionnement social, l'utilisation des services de santé et la qualité de vie. Bien que les principales variables de l'étude n'aient révélé aucune différence statistique importante entre le groupe expérimental et le groupe témoin, on a pu constater une amélioration au sein des deux groupes entre le début de l'étude et l'évaluation de suivi, six mois après sa conclusion. L'article traite des différentes raisons possibles expliquant ces résultats et leurs conséquences en fonction de recherches plus approfondies.
