El presente documento se construye como una aproximación a la cultura antioqueña desde la generación Baby Boomer y generación X a la inmortalización de momentos y a la transformación de espacios en sitios de recordación, que podrían ser comparados con altares a la memoria, tan solo definibles como objetos preciados. En ese sentido, el objetivo de la presente investigación es generar una experiencia simbólica del álbum fotográfico que permita al usuario reencontrarse con la memoria de generaciones anteriores que manifiesten las emociones desde lo material. Se hizo a través de la metodología fenomenológica que permite estudiar este tipo de situaciones anómalas que causan ruptura en la historia misma, y al concluir este documento, se encuentran algunas propuestas de diseño con la intención de llevar a Centennial a vivir una experiencia que le permita sentir aquellas emociones y sentimiento que solo recuerdan la generación X y los Baby Boomers, que se perdió con los Millenials y la transferencia de la tecnología análoga a la digital.

One in four Baby Boomers fills the informal caregiver role in the United States. The objectives of this study were to estimate the prevalence of Baby Boomers who are informal caregivers for people living with dementia and compare their physical and mental health status to caregivers for persons with conditions other than dementia using 2015–2018 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data (N = 10,602). We identified caregiving status (assisting a family member/friend with a long-term illness or disability in the past month, managing personal care, and not caring for a child/grandchild) and whether the care recipient’s major health condition was dementia. We calculated weighted estimates and used chi-square tests and log-binomial regression for comparisons of selected characteristics. Among Baby Boomer caregivers, 15.4% were caring for someone with dementia. Dementia caregivers were more likely to be female, caring for a parent/parent-in-law, and providing care longer than caregivers for persons without dementia. After adjusting for sociodemographic and caregiving characteristics, the prevalence of fair/poor health, frequent mental distress, and chronic conditions were similar across types of caregivers. Although no differences in caregiver’s physical and mental health by care recipient’s dementia status were found, we should underscore the importance of maintaining Baby Boomer caregivers’ health and well-being.

<p>This paper investigates the perceptions of various tourism industries’ stakeholders regarding the readiness of the airlines to handle growing numbers of baby boomer air travellers; within an Australian context. A qualitative research methodology was applied, extracting data from 32 in-depth interviews. The views of the stakeholders in regard to the readiness of the civil aviation industry to handle the increasing numbers of baby boomers flying were complex, varied and fragmented; and were compared to existing literature. It provides a categorisation of issues on which further quantitative or stakeholder research could be based in which airlines may improve their competitive advantage by developing dynamic capabilities to meet the demands of baby boomers.</p><p><br></p> <p><b>The research was conducted with the approval of Southern Cross University HREC.</b></p>

Health Care Visit

Background: The baby boomer population will become high users of the health-care system in coming years. Self-report of hearing loss at a primary health-care visit may offer timely referrals to audiological services, but there has been no population-based study of self-reported hearing loss in the baby boomer generation. Purpose: To determine the clinical value and audiometric correspondence of self-reported hearing loss as a screening tool for the baby boomer population. Research Design: A population-based study, Busselton Healthy Ageing Study (BHAS), surveying baby boomers born between 1946 and 1964 from the shire of Busselton, Western Australia. Study Sample: A randomized sample of noninstitutionalized baby-boomers listed on the electoral roll (n = 6690) and resident in the shire are eligible to participate. This study reports on data from the first 1004 attendees (53.5% female) with a mean age of 56.23 (SD = 5.43). Data Collection and Analysis: Data from a self-report question on hearing loss and diagnostic pure tone audiometry was utilized for this study. Analysis included screening performance measures of self-report compared to audiometric cut-offs, receiver operator curve (ROC) to determine optimal level, analysis of variance to compare hearing status to self-report, and binary logistic regression to determine best audiometric predictors. Results: Of the sample, 16% self-reported hearing loss (72.1% males). Logistic regression indicated 4000 Hz as the most important individual frequency related to self-report while the four-frequency average (500, 1000, 2000, and 4000 Hz) >25 dB in the worse ear was the most significant averaged cutoff with 68% sensitivity and 87% specificity. Of those who self-reported a hearing loss, 80% had either a four-frequency average hearing loss >25 dB in the worse ear or a high-frequency average (4000 and 8000 Hz) hearing loss greater than 35 dB in the worse ear. Conclusions: Baby boomer adults who self-report hearing impairment on direct inquiry are most likely to have a hearing loss. A simple question at a primary health care visit may facilitate a timely referral for audiological services in a baby boomer adult, who may be more amenable to rehabilitation.

Baby boomers are defined as the demographics born during post-World War II between the years 1946 and 1965. As of 2016, boomers are in their 50s and 60s. As a group, they are interested in pursuing a healthy lifestyle and are willing to invest time and money in maintaining healthy bodies. Yoga, a mind body practice, is an appealing option for this group. A current U.S. national study showed that yoga practitioners over the age of 49 are the second largest group comprising 38% of the yoga practitioners. However, the boomer yoga practitioners do not have many choices when it comes to shopping for yoga wear. Manufacturers of active wear produce the same yoga wear for individuals regardless of age, even though the baby boomer market has different clothing needs and garment design preferences. This study explored baby boomers’ clothing needs and preferences in yoga wear.

An exploratory study of female baby boomers’ perceptions of fashion magazines was conducted using in depth interviews. This research acknowledges that fashion tends to focus on a youthful demographic, and fashion assumes this older demographic will conform to the youthful ideals that are displayed. Fashion magazines are therefore faced with the challenge of how to attract older female readers while still portraying a fashionable image. By taking a qualitative approach that focuses on verbal descriptions and human emotion, this research will help explain the perceptions and attitudes felt by female baby boomers. Participants indicated diversity, going green, embracing sexuality, clothedness, and body size, influenced their reading of fashion magazines.
