Survey Approach

Along with economic progress, environmental improvement and advancement of science and technology, especially in health sciences, health promotion, disease prevention and health services have resulted in increased life expectancy for humans. Our society now sees the elderly as people who are less productive, less attractive, less energetic, easy to forget, therefore to realize healthy, productive elderly people at dusk, efforts are needed, one of which is by improving healthy lifestyles. Survey conducted by the Team, The number of elderly people in Posyandu is 79 people. There are only 2 active Posyandu cadres active, the elderly rarely visit the Posyandu, and the lack of knowledge on how to cope with problems related to elderly diseases, such as gout, stroke. Therefore it is necessary to hold counseling for the Elderly to better understand about health problems in the elderly and be more active in participating in the Posyandu for the elderly so that "Healthy Elderly People in Old Age" is realized. This activity was done in May-June 2019 at the elderly in the homes of residents of RT 11 Kelurahan Kenali Asam Bawah, with the service method using a survey approach, lecture, discussion, demonstration / simulation. The results obtained by the Posyandu officers are active and able to identify the elderly and health problems of the elderly and recognize and understand frequent diseases such as gout and stroke

The risk of falling increases with age. Individuals wearing unadapted shoes present an aggravating risk factor. The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of specifically designed balance shoes on balance and postural stability in healthy elderly people compared to that of their usual shoes. In total, 21 healthy individuals aged 65–84 years (76.0 ± 8.0 years) performed balance tests (bipedal with open or closed eyes, unipedal with open eyes, limits of stability, and step cadence) while wearing their (i) personal shoes or (ii) balance shoes (Axis Comfort Development©). Three test sessions were conducted with personal and balance shoes. The first served as the baseline, and the other two were performed after a familiarization period of several days with the personal or balance shoes. The perception of balance shoe efficiency was documented using a questionnaire. The balance shoes significantly improved bipedal balance with closed eyes. Moreover, the familiarization period significantly improved unipedal balance with open eyes. Most subjects felt safer and stabler using balance shoes. The investigated specifically designed balance shoes were effective in elderly individuals in improving postural balance compared to personal shoes. The balance shoes could, therefore, reduce the falling risk in healthy elderly people.

Abstract Music has been debated as a positive factor for the health of elderly people. In a randomized study, the researchers compared an intervention based on percussion and musical improvisation with a choir activity. The objective was to investigate whether improvisation would influence the executive functioning and motor skills of healthy elderly people. A set of instruments for psychological and motor assessment was used before and after the procedure. Differences were found in the performance of the participants of the improvisation group in the Clock Drawing Test suggesting possible gains in executive function. There were gains, regardless of the group, in part A of the Trail Making Test, which indicates a sustained attention. No evidence of motor effects was found in this study. The results suggest that musical activities can contribute to the prevention of cognitive decline caused by aging.

ABSTRACT Objective: To know the perception of relatives of elderly people about the coexistence center and its importance in supporting the Health Care Network. Methodology: A qualitative study carried out with 14 relatives of elderly people participating in a coexistence center. Data collection took place in January 2016 through individual interviews, which were recorded, transcribed and submitted to content analysis. The results were discussed in the light of the theoretical referential of health promotion. Results: The elderly's participation in the coexistence center was an alternative to support care and institutionalization, provided time for self-care and to maintain or engage in the formal labor market and positively influenced the family relationships. Conclusion: The coexistence center was set up as a health promotion institution, being jointly responsible for the care of the elderly with the Health Care Network and the families.
