Abstract Objectives To determine the association between eating window and time of last calorie intake with body composition and cardiometabolic health in obese older adults. Methods We performed a cross-sectional analysis on 36 community-dwelling, overweight-to-obese (BMI 28.0-39.9 kg/m2) older adults, recruited to participate in a weight loss and exercise trial. Time of food intake were extracted from three 24-hour food recalls. Eating window was calculated as the time elapsed between the first and last food intake. We recorded the time of last calorie intake either from food or drink. Blood glucose, triglycerides, high-density (HDL) & low-density (LDL) lipoprotein cholesterols were measured as markers of cardiometabolic health. Total fat and lean mass were assessed by DXA. Partial correlation was used to determine the relationships between eating window and last calorie intake with body composition and cardiometabolic markers, while controlling for sex, age, and total calorie intake. Results On average, participants’ eating window was 12.0±1.1 hours. Time of last calorie intake in 86% of participants was between 6:00-8:00 PM. After controlling for potential confounders, longer eating windows were associated with higher triglyceride levels (P=0.032) and lower HDL (P=0.035), while no association was observed with the other cardiometabolic markers. We observed negative trends, though not statistically significant, between longer eating windows and greater weight, BMI, and fat mass. No association was observed between time of last calorie intake, body composition and cardiometabolic markers. Conclusions Our results suggest that timing of food intake may influence cardiometabolic risk and obesity in older adults.

Abstract Objectives To determine the association between eating window and time of last calorie intake with body composition and cardiometabolic health in obese older adults. Methods We performed a cross-sectional analysis on 36 community-dwelling, overweight-to-obese (BMI 28.0–39.9 kg/m2) older adults (aged 70.6 ± 6.1 years, 83% women, 86% white), recruited to participate in a weight loss and exercise trial. Time of food and nutrient intake were extracted from three 24-hour food recalls. Eating window was calculated as the time elapsed between the first and last food intake. We recorded the time of last calorie intake either from food or drink. Blood glucose, triglycerides, high-density (HDL) & low-density (LDL) lipoprotein cholesterols were measured as markers of cardiometabolic health. Body composition metrics, including total fat and lean mass, were assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Body weight and height were measured to calculate BMI. Partial correlation was used to determine the relationships between eating window and last calorie intake with body composition and cardiometabolic markers, while controlling for sex, age, and total calorie intake. Results On average, participants’ eating window was 12.0 ± 1.1 hours. Eating window in 43% of participants was <12 hours, while it was ≥13 hours in 29% of the participants. Time of last calorie intake in the majority of participants (86%) was between 6:00–8:00 PM. After controlling for potential confounders, longer eating windows were associated with higher triglyceride levels (P = 0.032) and lower HDL (P = 0.035), while no association was observed with the other cardiometabolic markers. We also observed negative trends, though not statistically significant, between longer eating windows and greater weight, BMI, and fat mass. No association was observed between time of last calorie intake, body composition and cardiometabolicy markers. Conclusions Our results suggest that timing of food intake may influence cardiometabolic risk and obesity in older adults. However, further research is required to determine the importance of meal timing on obesity in older adults. Funding Sources Center for Disease Control (U48 DP000025) and NIA T32-AG0001810.

Abstract Background Malnutrition negatively impacts on health, quality of life and disease outcomes in older adults. The reported factors associated with, and determinants of malnutrition, are inconsistent between studies. These factors may vary according to differences in rate of ageing. This review critically examines the evidence for the most frequently reported sociodemographic factors and determinants of malnutrition and identifies differences according to rates of ageing. Methods A systematic search of the PubMed Central and Embase databases was conducted in April 2019 to identify papers on ageing and poor nutritional status. Numerous factors were identified, including factors from demographic, food intake, lifestyle, social, physical functioning, psychological and disease-related domains. Where possible, community-dwelling populations assessed within the included studies (N = 68) were categorised according to their ageing rate: ‘successful’, ‘usual’ or ‘accelerated’. Results Low education level and unmarried status appear to be more frequently associated with malnutrition within the successful ageing category. Indicators of declining mobility and function are associated with malnutrition and increase in severity across the ageing categories. Falls and hospitalisation are associated with malnutrition irrespective of rate of ageing. Factors associated with malnutrition from the food intake, social and disease-related domains increase in severity in the accelerated ageing category. Having a cognitive impairment appears to be a determinant of malnutrition in successfully ageing populations whilst dementia is reported to be associated with malnutrition within usual and accelerated ageing populations. Conclusions This review summarises the factors associated with malnutrition and malnutrition risk reported in community-dwelling older adults focusing on differences identified according to rate of ageing. As the rate of ageing speeds up, an increasing number of factors are reported within the food intake, social and disease-related domains; these factors increase in severity in the accelerated ageing category. Knowledge of the specific factors and determinants associated with malnutrition according to older adults’ ageing rate could contribute to the identification and prevention of malnutrition. As most studies included in this review were cross-sectional, longitudinal studies and meta-analyses comprehensively assessing potential contributory factors are required to establish the true determinants of malnutrition.

Aside from total time spent in physical activity behaviors, how time is accumulated is important for health. This study examined associations between sitting, standing, and stepping bouts, with cardiometabolic health markers in older adults. Participants from the Mitchelstown Cohort Rescreen Study (N = 221) provided cross-sectional data on activity behaviors (assessed via an activPAL3 Micro) and cardiometabolic health. Bouts of ≥10-, ≥30-, and ≥60-min sitting, standing, and stepping were calculated. Linear regression models were fitted to examine the associations between bouts and cardiometabolic health markers. Sitting (≥10, ≥30, and ≥60 min) and standing (≥10 and ≥30 min) bouts were detrimentally associated with body composition measures, lipid markers, and fasting glucose. The effect for time spent in ≥60-min sitting and ≥30-min standing bouts was larger than shorter bouts. Fragmenting sitting with bouts of stepping may be targeted to benefit cardiometabolic health. Further insights for the role of standing need to be elicited.

Skin Fold

Objective: Aging causes major changes in body composition which is related with lower muscular strength and endurance, as well as mobility and walking. Increase in accumulation of adipose tissue and increase in body fat can cause a reduction in body balance, which is a key contributing factor to falls. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to find the influence of skin fold thickness on dynamic balance in older adults. Methods: A total of 49 community dwelling older adults aged 65 years and older were recruited in this cross-sectional study. Skin fold calliper and time up and go (TUG) test was used to measure the skin fold thickness and dynamic balance respectively. The Karl Pearson’s coefficient was used to estimate the relationship between the variables. Results: The Karl Pearson correlation co-efficient showed moderate positive correlation between skin fold thickness and TUG (r=0.395), which was found to be statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusion: Our finding suggests that balance is significantly related to the skin fold thickness measurement. Thus, body composition assessment can be considered for prevention and management of fall risk among the older adults. Keywords: Body composition, Dynamic balance, Elderly.

Purpose Many aging individuals, even those who are healthy, report voice changes that can impact their ability to communicate as they once did. While this is commonly reported, most do not seek evaluation or management for this issue. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence and differences in voice disorders in older adults, along with the effect of fatigue on their social interactions. Method This is a cross-sectional investigation of a community-dwelling sample of individuals aged 60 years or older. Participants completed the Questionnaire on Vocal Performance, the Social Engagement Index subset “Engagement in Social or Leisure Activities,” and the Fatigue Severity Scale. Results Results indicated 32.5% of the 332 participants reported symptoms of voice problems with no difference found between male and female respondents. A slight increase in report of voice problems was noted with each year of age. Participants who self-reported voice problems indicated less interaction in social activities involving communication than those who did not. Finally, as severity of self-reported voice problems increased, an increase was reported by the same individuals for signs of fatigue. Conclusions Voice problems and resulting decreased social interaction are commonly experienced by older individuals. Voice symptoms in older adults have been found to benefit from evidence-based treatment strategies. It is critical to provide education to encourage older individuals to seek appropriate evaluation and management for voice issues through a speech-language pathologist or medical professional.

Community Dwelling Older Adults

This study examined the prevalence of cognitive impairment among older adults in central Vietnam and the roles of communication (with or without communication devices) in the association between cognitive impairment and hearing loss. This cross-sectional study was performed on 725 randomly selected community-dwelling older adults aged ≥60 years from Thua Thien Hue province, Vietnam. Participants attended a face-to-face survey. Sociodemographic characteristics, social interaction with or without communication devices, health status and cognitive function using the Mini-Mental State Examination were reported. Ordinal logistic regression analysis was performed to quantify the association between hearing loss and cognitive function by frequency of communication with and without devices. Mild and severe cognitive impairment had prevalence rates of 23.6% and 19.3%, respectively. Cognitive impairment was more prevalent among older adults with hearing-loss, vision loss and difficulties with instrumental activities of daily living (IADL). The association between hearing loss and cognitive impairment was not significant when older adults had frequent communication with others using devices. This study presented the relatively high prevalence of cognitive impairment in community-dwelling older adults in Vietnam. Frequent communication using devices attenuated the association between hearing loss and cognitive impairment.

Dairy products (DP) are part of a food group that may contribute to the prevention of physical frailty. We aimed to investigate DP exposure, including total DP, milk, fresh DP and cheese, and their cross-sectional and prospective associations with physical frailty in community-dwelling older adults. The cross-sectional analysis was carried out on 1490 participants from the Three-City Bordeaux cohort. The 10-year frailty risk was examined in 823 initially non-frail participants. A food frequency questionnaire was used to assess DP exposure. Physical frailty was defined as the presence of at least 3 out of 5 criteria of the frailty phenotype: weight loss, exhaustion, slowness, weakness, and low physical activity. Among others, diet quality and protein intake were considered as confounders. The baseline mean age of participants was 74.1 y and 61% were females. Frailty prevalence and incidence were 4.2% and 18.2%, respectively. No significant associations were observed between consumption of total DP or DP sub-types and frailty prevalence or incidence (OR = 1.40, 95%CI 0.65–3.01 and OR = 1.75, 95%CI 0.42–1.32, for a total DP consumption >4 times/d, respectively). Despite the absence of beneficial associations of higher DP consumption on frailty, older adults are encouraged to follow the national recommendations regarding DP.
