Abstract Background: The increase in life expectancy has proliferated the number of elderly and subsequently increased the prevalence of disability among the elderly. This study assesses the prevalence of Activity of Daily Living (ADL) and Instrumental Activity of Daily Living (IADL) and analyzed determinants of ADL and IADL among elderly aged 60 and over living in India.Methods: The study utilized the Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (LASI, 2017-18) data, and information was sought from 31,464 elderly aged 60 years and above. An index of ADL and IADL was created on a scale of three levels, exhibiting no, moderate, or severe levels of ADL/IADL disability. Multinomial logistic regression was used to determine the effect of sociodemographic parameters on ADL and IADL disability among the elderly.Results: Around 3 percent of the elderly reported severe ADL disability, and 6 percent elderly reported severe IADL disability. Elderly who were not involved in any physical activity than their counterparts were more likely to report severe ADL (RRR=2.68, C.I.=1.66-4.32) and severe IADL (RRR=2.70, C.I.=1.98-3.67) than no ADL and no IADL, respectively. Conclusion: Amidst the study finding, the study emphasizes the importance of setting-up of geriatric care centres in rural and urban areas. It would be feasible to provide geriatric care under the umbrella of already functioning government health facilities in different parts of the country. Community interventions earmarking the elderly with a focus on physical activity, specifically when they are based in group physical exercise and implemented through existing networks, are rewarding for the elderly.

Purpose: This study evaluated the potential effectiveness of a tablet-based, volunteer-led intervention (Lok Chi In-home Training) for cognitively impaired older people in improving cognitive and emotional health. Method: A one-group pretest and posttest design was adopted, involving 57 community-dwelling older people with cognitive impairments (Montreal Cognitive Score between 13 and 22, without neuropsychiatric behavioral problem). Trained volunteers performed eight in-home training sessions using a tablet to facilitate. Outcome measures include cognitive function, depression, activity of daily living, and instrumental activity of daily living. Results: A paired sample t test indicated that after receiving Lok Chi In-home Training, participants showed significantly large improvements on cognitive ability, moderate improvements on depression, and small improvements on instrumental activity of daily living. Conclusions: This study demonstrated the feasibility and potential benefits of Lok Chi intervention for improving cognition and emotion.

Introduction: The aim of the dissertation was to compare the psychophysical state of people over 50 years of age from different societies.Material and methods: The first group consisted of 30 care home residents, the second group consisted of 30 participants of Active Senior Fair. In the research, two scales were applied: Mini­‍‑Mental State Examination, measuring the mental state, and Instrumental Activity of Daily Living, measuring agility in the field of complex everyday tasks.Conclusiona: The study indicates the difference in the psychophysical state of both researched groups. The results may be connected with both age difference between groups and different living environment.
