Peningkatan Pengetahuan Lansia tentang Penyakit Degeneratif di Wilayah Kampung Tengah Kramat Jati

The elderly are residents who have a high risk for various degenerative diseases, including stroke, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus. Lack of information and knowledge of the elderly regarding degenerative diseases, healthy lifestyles, and patterns of early prevention, are the main causes of the high incidence of complications of disease in the elderly. The inaccessibility of the elderly to access health services is also a barrier factor for the elderly and families to obtain information related to the disease. The purpose of this activity in general is to improve the degree of public health through increasing the knowledge of the elderly about degenerative diseases in the Kampung Tengah region, and specifically (1) providing knowledge to the elderly about stroke, (2) providing knowledge to the elderly about hypertension, (3) providing knowledge to the elderly about diabetes mellitus, and (4) providing knowledge to the elderly about how to prevent and manage stroke, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus. The method of this activities are lecturing, discussions, practicing and educational approaches. From the results of counseling activities, it can be concluded that the knowledge of the elderly about stroke, hypertension and diabetes mellitus in the Kampung Tengah region is still very minimal, and increasing knowledge about these degenerative diseases is very much needed so that the elderly can better maintain their health.

Introdução: O processo do envelhecimento associado às doenças crônico-degenerativas conduz ao declínio funcional e/ou cognitivo, resultando em redução da qualidade de vida e diminuição da autonomia e independência. Objetivo: Comparar a capacidade funcional e cognitiva de idosos em uma unidade de reabilitação geriátrica na cidade de Salvador-Bahia. Metodologia: Estudo observacional descritivo de corte transversal, utilizando análise de prontuários. Foram selecionados os prontuários de indivíduos idosos internados na Unidade de Reabilitação do Centro Geriátrico das Obras Sociais Irmã Dulce, entre janeiro e dezembro de 2011. Dados coletados: sociodemográficos, tempo de internação, diagnóstico clínico, escores do Índice de Barthel Modificado (IBM) e do Mini-Exame do Estado Mental (MEEM), na admissão e alta hospitalar. Resultados: 38 prontuários preencheram os critérios de inclusão. 73,68% dos pacientes eram do sexo masculino. A idade variou de 62 a 94 anos e o tempo de internação de 34 a 179 dias. As patologias mais prevalentes foram: hipertensão arterial (68,42%), acidente vascular cerebral (57,89%), restrição de mobilidade (42,10%), incontinência dupla (28,94%), diabetes mellitus (23,98%) e demência vascular (21,05%). As alterações observadas nos escores do IBM não modificaram os níveis funcionais dos idosos. Alterações cognitivas foram observadas em 81,57% na admissão e 63,15% na alta hospitalar. Apenas indivíduos com 1 a 3 anos de escolaridade modificaram os níveis de cognição. Conclusão: O processo do envelhecimento associado às doenças crônico-degenerativas influencia na funcionalidade e cognição da população estudada. Os resultados forneceram elementos para estabelecimento de objetivos e planos terapêuticos que favoreçam a reabilitação do idoso. Abstract Introduction: The aging process associated with chronic degenerative diseases leads to functional decline and/or cognitive impairment resulting in reduced quality of life and decreased autonomy and independence. Objective: To compare the functional and cognitive capacity of elderly in a geriatric rehabilitation unit in the city of Salvador, Bahia. Methodology: This is an observational descriptive cross-sectional analysis using medical records. The medical records of elderly patients admitted in the Rehabilitation Unit of the Geriatric Center of Obras Sociais Irmã Dulce were selected from January to December 2011. The charts were evaluated for sociodemographic, length of stay, clinical diagnosis, scores of the Modified Barthel Index (MBI) and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) on admission and discharge. Results: A total of 38 records met the inclusion criteria. 73.68% of the patients were male. The age ranged from 62 to 94 years and length of stay from 34 to 179 days. The most prevalent diseases were hypertension (68.42%), stroke (57.89%), restriction of mobility (42.10%), double incontinence (28.94%), diabetes mellitus (23.98 %) and vascular dementia (21.05%). The observed changes in the MBI scores did not change the functional levels of the elderly. Cognitive changes were observed in 81.57% on admission and 63.15% on discharge. Only individuals with 1-3 years of education changed levels of cognition. Conclusion: The process of aging associated with chronic degenerative diseases influences on the functionality and cognition of the studied population. The results provided evidence for the establishment of goals and treatment plans that promote the rehabilitation of the elderly.

A large-scale epidemic of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is observed with advanced ageing worldwide. The prevalence of T2DM significantly increases with age. Therefore, this review aimed to summarise the data on T2DM in advanced and older aged patients. The primary geriatric syndromes, which should be considered for the management of older patients (cognitive impairment, sarcopenia, orthostatic hypotension, falls, urinary incontinence, senile asthenia, etc.), are presented. The causes of the high risk for hypoglycaemia in elderly patients are analysed. Improving the treatment for T2DM is a priority of modern medicine. Using antihyperglycaemic therapy is especially difficult in this population due to the high risk of hypoglycaemia and the multi-organ pathology leading to polypharmacy. Therefore, special attention is paid to treatment recommendations. Hypoglycaemic drugs used in elderly patients should be low risk of hypoglycaemia, without nephro- and hepatic toxicity, safe for cardiovascular organs, easy to administer. Furthermore, advantages and limitations of using various groups of hypoglycaemic drugs in elderly patients are discussed. DPP-4 inhibitors are also considered in detail. Modern data on mechanisms of hypoglycaemic action of DPP-4 inhibitors are presented. Possibilities of using sitagliptin in elderly patients were also considered. Finally, evidence-based studies demonstrating the obvious advantages of sitagliptin for the treatment of T2DM in the elderly and advanced aged population are discussed.

High Incidence

Abstract Lung cancer (LC) is the most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer mortality globally. A positive association between LC incidence and socioeconomic deprivation exists. High-risk individuals are less likely to be aware of LC and to correctly appraise LC symptoms and seek medical help accordingly. This qualitative study explored strategies to promote early detection of LC among at-risk individuals living in high-incidence areas in Ireland. Five semi-structured focus groups were conducted with 46 individuals. Data were collected face-to-face in community centres and organisations in high-incidence areas in two Irish counties and analysed using inductive qualitative content analysis. Participants believed that there was insufficient information regarding LC and recommended promoting LC awareness at a young rather than old age. They favoured public health messages that are Simple, clear, and honest; Worded positively; Incorporating a shock element; Featuring a celebrity, healthcare professional, or survivor; and Targeted (SWIFT). Most participants reported becoming immune to messages on cigarette packaging and recommended using a combination of broadcast and print media within national government-run campaigns to promote LC awareness and early detection. Study findings suggest that promoting LC awareness, help-seeking, early presentation, and diagnosis can be achieved by developing and testing targeted interventions. Promoting LC awareness requires a multi-sectoral policy network, or a whole systems approach. Such approaches ought to consider the multifactorial drivers of LC risk behaviours; involve coordinated, collective actions across various stakeholders; operate across multiple agencies; and take a life course perspective.
