Background and Objectives: Balance problems are the main cause of falls and fall-related complications in the elderly. The objective of this study was to investigate the balance in old people residing in nursing homes using clinical assessments. Methods: A total of 54 people participated in this cross-sectional study. Timed Up and Go (TUG) was used to assess balance regarding mobility impairments. The modified Clinical Test Of Sensory Interaction on Balance (CTSIB) was also used to assess balance regarding sensory problems. This test was used in 4 conditions: standing with eyes open on a firm surface, standing with eyes closed on a firm surface, standing with eyes open on a compliant foam, and standing with eyes closed on a compliant foam. Data analysis was done by SPSS V. 18 software. Results: The mean time for the completion of TUG was significantly higher than standard scores in all age groups (P<0.05). Postural sway during standing with eyes closed on the ground, eyes open and eyes closed on the foam was more than standing with eyes open on the ground (P<0.001). Postural sway in standing with eyes closed on the foam was more in comparison with standing with eyes closed on the ground and eyes open on the foam (P<0.001). Conclusion: Elderly people living in nursing homes had poorer motor skills to maintain balance. They also showed greater dependence on visual and sensory systems to maintain balance.

This study evaluated the quality of life of older adults in Vietnam. A survey was conducted on 291 old people at eight public and private nursing homes using cluster sampling. Quality of life was predicted by gender, duration of stay, center activities and community tangible support, and connection with family. Results were consistent across the four subscales of the Quality of Life Index. Quality of life of Vietnamese older adults depends not only on the quality of services provided by the nursing homes but also on family and community connections.

The One

Dying is the one common and certain event in life but it is a difficult process to study. Official statistics give information about the point of death; studies covering random samples of deaths are inevitably retrospective and based on the accounts of those who knew the person who died; other studies are selective and generally focused on people dying from cancer, so they include a relatively small proportion of old people. Yet, in developed countries, deaths are concentrated among older people. In England and Wales in 1994 83.6% of all deaths were of people aged 65 or over; 59.0% were 75 or more.

Care For The Elderly

Currently, the questions of how older people fit into the context of modern reality, to what extent their inherent life ideas are consistent with existing social norms are becoming relevant. The history of the development of attitudes towards the elderly, the position of old people is constantly changing. It is known that the life of old people largely depends on their social status in society. The article presents the results of studying the attitude of young people and people of mature age in Yakutia to old age and readiness to care for the elderly. The study involved representatives of young and mature age in the amount of 222, including 109 men, 113 women. 142 (64%) respondents live in cities, 80 (36%) - in rural areas. 68 (31%) of the respondents have higher education, the rest - secondary, 85.3% of the respondents are of mature age and 14.7% of young people live with their parents. The analysis of ethnographic works, folklore materials was used as research methods; survey method. The reliability of the difference in indicators was checked using the angular Fisher transformation. Analysis of the research results allows us to note that respondents treat elderly people with patience and care, however, young people tend to be indifferent to aging parents. The attitude towards the placement of parents in nursing homes is also noticeably different: young people are ready to place their parents in nursing homes if the circumstances are difficult. Comparison was also made of the opinions of representatives of different nationalities about their attitude to old age, and their willingness to care for elderly parents, it found that they also differ. Comparison of the research indicators showed that there is a high connection with the family among representatives of the small peoples of the north, they are also more re- sponsible for their parents, although in other nations, the readiness to care for the elderly is high among the Yakuts (p <0.05). In the future, the study of attitudes towards old age will be relevant, since the aging of the population is observed throughout the world.
