Prevalence Of Anemia

Anemia is a very common disorder both in clinical practice and in the community. The recent rise in the population of the elderly has become the focus of attention in developing countries, because of the increasing longevity of the elderly, whilst the prevalence of anemia increases with age. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of anemia and its association with the quality of life in the elderly. A cross-sectional study was conducted from April to June 2008, located in the Mampang Prapatan district, South Jakarta. A total of 298 elderly persons participated in this study, comprising 109 (36.6%) males and 189 (63.4%) females. Anemia was measured by the parameters of hemoglobin and quality of life was assessed by the WHOQOL-BREF instrument, a short version of the WHOQOL-100 instrument. The results of the study showed the prevalence of anemia to be 26.2%, with a higher prevalence rate in females compared with males. The quality of life in the physical, psychological, social and environmental domains differed significantly with decreasing hemoglobin levels, whereas the physical and mental quality of life declined significantly with age. Anemia is thus indicative of a reduction in the quality of life of the elderly.

Patients With Diabetes

While diabetes mellitus is highly prevalent in the elderly population with significant impact on quality of life (QOL), we yet to know much about how personality traits affect QOL in this patient population. A cross-sectional study was conducted at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre with the aim to determine the relationship between personality traits and QOL among the elderly (aged ≥60 years) with diabetes mellitus. Sociodemographic and clinical information were obtained. QOL was assessed using the WHO Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOLBREF) questionnaire and personality traits were assessed using the Big Five Inventory (BFI) questionnaire. Depression and anxiety were measured with Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7) scale, respectively, and controlled for in all analyses. There were in total 170 study participants (median age=69.0 years; IQR: 65.0-73.0; 51.2% male). In stepwise linear regression models, higher conscientiousness scores (β=0.156; P=0.044) and lower neuroticism scores (β=-0.176; P=0.028) were associated with greater QOL in the physical health domain. Higher extraversion scores (β=0.209; P=0.001) and higher conscientiousness scores (β=0.248; P<0.001) were associated with greater QOL in the psychological health domain. Higher agreeableness scores (β=0.286; P<0.001) were associated with greater QOL in the social relationship domain. Finally, higher agreeableness scores (β=0.327; P<0.001) and lower neuroticism scores (β=-0.223; P=0.001) were associated with greater QOL in the environment domain. Personality traits were closely associated with all domains of QOL among elderly patients with diabetes mellitus. Premorbid personality may have important role in moderating the impact of diabetes mellitus on the lives of elderly patients.

Penyakit yang dijumpai pada lansia menunjukkan lansia mengalami hipertensi sebanyak 69%, hipercholesterolemia 55%, diabetes mellitus 20%, hiperurisemia 20% dan proteinuria 13%. Di masa usia lanjut ini berbagai penyakit dapat mengenai lansia, 16% lansia mengidap paling sedikit 3 jenis penyakit, 31% lansia mengidap 2 jenis penyakit dan 33% lansia yang hanya terkena 1 jenis penyakit. Meskipun demikian, tingkat kepuasan mereka terhadap kesehatannya cukup baik, dimana hanya 21% yang menyatakan kurang puas dengan kesehatannya. Penilaian kualitas hidup secara umum, 63% lansia menyatakan kualitas hidupnya biasa-biasa saja, 28% lansia merasa kualitas hidupnya baik dan hanya 8% yang menyatakan kualitas hidupnya buruk. Umumnya lansia mengalami hipercholeterolemia dan hipertensi, dan paling sedikit rata-rata lansia mengidap 2-3 jenis penyakit degeneratif, meskipun demikian mayoritas lansia menyatakan kualitas hidupnya relatif baik. Kelompok lansia merupakan kelompok yang berisiko untuk mengalami penyakit degeneratif. Untuk itu diperlukan upaya promotif dan preventif untuk meningkatkan kesadaran lansia dalam mengantisipasi penyakit tersebut. The number of people aged over 60 years is projected to grow and estimated to reach 36 million in 2025. The increase in the elderly population is associated with the increase of risk of suffering from degenerative disease that can affect the health status and quality of life of the elderly. A cross-sectional study of 100 elderly was taken with consecutive sampling technique to assess the patterns of degenerative disease through screening examinations, the level of satisfaction, and quality of life of the elderly based on WHO WHOQoL-BREF quality of life questionnaire. This research was conducted at the Elderly Posyandu (Integrated Health Service Post) in Medan Amplas sub-district. The results showed that 69% of the elderly suffered from hypertension, 55% suffered from hyperlipidemia, 20% suffered from diabetes mellitus, 20%  suffered from hyperuricemia, and 13% suffered from proteinuria. In this advanced age various diseases can affect the elderly, 16% of the elderly suffered from at least 3 types of diseases, 31% of the elderly suffered from 2 types of diseases and 33% of the elderly only suffered from one disease. Nevertheless, their levels of satisfaction with their health were quite good. 21% of the elderly were not satisfied with their health. The assessment of quality of life in general showed that 63% of the elderly stated that their quality of life was mediocre, 28% of the elderly felt that their quality of life was good and only 8% stated that their quality of life was poor. Generally, elderly suffered from hyperlipidemia and hypertension, and the elderly suffered from at least 2-3 types of degenerative joint diseases.
