▼ The study sought to clarify the effects of aging in regard to decision making abilities. Decision making is dependent upon the Frontal Cortex structures; the Orbitofrontal Cortex and the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex. These structures are thought to decline with age, and so functioning of these areas important for decision making is also thought to deteriorate. Structural deterioration of the Frontal Cortex is often regarded as disproportionate. An objective of the current study was to compare the functioning involved in decision making of an older group of participants to that of Orbitofrontal Cortex lesion patients and Dosolateral Prefrontal Cortex lesion patients, and therefore ascertain which lesion patients the older participants of the current study performed most similarly to. To do this three decision making tasks were implemented which included the Original Iowa Gambling Task, the Variant Iowa Gambling Task and the Reversal Learning Task. All tasks tested the decision making abilities of participants attributed to the functioning of the Orbitofrontal Cortex and the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex. A two way analysis of variance was carried out on both Iowa Gambling Tasks, whilst a repeated measures analysis of variance was also completed for both tasks. Independent t-tests were implemented in the Reversal Learning Task. The study showed an impairment of the older group on both Iowa Gambling Tasks when compared to the younger control group. Impairment on the Original Iowa Gambling Task suggested a possible impairment of the Orbitofrontal Cortex but this was not reflected in the Reversal Learning Task. Impairment on both the Iowa Gambling Tasks indicated that older participants performed most similarly to Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex lesion patients. Consequently, the functioning of the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex in older participants looks to have declined more rapidly than the functioning of the Orbitofrontal Cortex.

To learn and form memories, synapses must maintain both the flexibility to adapt in new scenarios and the stability to preserve integrity of the neural circuits associated with those memories. Impairments in synaptic connectivity have been linked to cognitive deficits in both a variety of disorders and in healthy aging. However, the anatomical and structural bases of this impairment have not been identified yet. A hallmark of neural plasticity in young adults is short-term synaptic rearrangement, yet aged animals already display higher synaptic turnover rates at baseline. Using two-photon excitation (2PE) microscopy, we explored if this elevated turnover alters the aged brain’s response to a sensory plasticity-inducing scenario by examining dendritic spine behavior in the tuft of layer V pyramidal neurons of primary somatosensory cortex. Following a sensory-evoked plasticity protocol involving whisker stimulation, aged mice displayed a reduction in spine dynamics (gain, loss, and turnover), decreased spine clustering, lower spine stability, and a spine morphological phenotype of synaptic weakening when compared to young adult mice. These results suggest a deficiency of the cortical neurons of aged mice to structurally incorporate new sensory experiences, in the form of clustered, long-lasting synapses, into already existing cortical circuits. This research provides the first evidence linking experience-dependent plasticity with in vivo spine dynamics in the aged brain and supports a model of both reduced synaptic plasticity and reduced synaptic tenacity in the aged somatosensory system. This thesis contributes to an understanding of information processing deficits in the aged brain with a focus on aberrant plasticity of synapses in the distal apical tuft and ways distal tuft plasticity may be modified.

▼ Twelve-month-old male Sprague-Dawley rats exhibited a marked increase in percent adiposity and percent epididymal fat pad weight compared to their 2-month-old littermates. Aging was accompanied by deteriorated metabolic flexibility including decreased insulin sensitivity to glucose metabolism and increased hepatic lipid deposition. The alterations in adiposity and metabolic flexibility can be due to increased energy intake and/or decreased energy expenditure. Therefore, our first objective was to evaluate the status of energy intake and voluntary and involuntary energy expenditure in the animals. Our results show that food intake and voluntary energy expenditure as measured by locomotor activity were not responsible for the age-induced adiposity. Increased feed efficiency and decreased core body temperature in 12-month-old animals suggested that a reduction in resting metabolic rate (RMR) was responsible for their adiposity. Adaptive thermogenesis is an important component of RMR. We observed decreased mRNA levels of the major thermogenic gene, UCP1 in the brown adipose tissue (BAT) of 12-month-old animals that confirmed literature reports of decreased BAT mediated thermogenesis with age. Recently, subcutaneous white adipose tissue (sWAT) has also been shown to engage in thermogenesis though its contribution to energy expenditure and age mediated adiposity has not been investigated in detail. We hypothesized that decreases in inguinal WAT (IWAT) mediated thermogenesis contributes to the increased adiposity in 12-month-old animals. The next objective of our studies was to explore each step in the pathway of IWAT mediated thermogenesis including sympathetic nervous system (SNS) tone, SNS mediated lipolysis, fatty acid oxidation, mitochondrial biogenesis, and mitochondrial function in 2-month and 12-month-old male Sprague-Dawley rats. We observed decreases in β2-adrenergic receptor mRNA levels and adenylate cyclase activity in 12-month-old animals indicating that aging caused a decline in intracellular SNS tone in IWAT. Decreased SNS tone produced a decrease in the mRNA levels of its downstream target, the rate limiting lipolytic enzyme, hormone sensitive lipase but no change in the expression of the critical fatty acid oxidation gene, CPT1b. Twelve month old animals exhibited decreased mRNA levels of the master regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis, PGC1α, and decreased activity of citrate synthase, a marker of mitochondrial density. Accompanying these decreases in mitochondrial biogenesis was a decrease in mitochondrial function as evidenced by decreased mRNA levels of COX4i1, a marker of mitochondrial oxidative capacity and decreased activity of cytochrome c oxidase, a marker of complex IV activity in the electron transport chain. Finally, twelve month old animals exhibited decreased mitochondrial thermogenic capacity as evidenced by decreased mRNA and protein levels of UCP1. Twelve month animals also exhibited decrease in the complementary thyroid axis mediated thermogenesis evidenced in decreases in plasma levels…

▼ Programmed cell death is one important component of neurodevelopment that, until recently, was thought to be a passive process based upon the lack of trophic support. There is now data that supports the compartmentalized neuron loss theory where each compartment of a nerve cell has a distinct mechanism of maintenance and death. In axons, the Wlds protein is the most widely studied for its ability to delay Wallerian degeneration. Studies have linked the Nmnat1 portion of the Wlds fusion protein to the majority of its ability to protect axons, but recent work has identified Nmnat2 as the endogenous factor involved in axon maintenance. Our goal is to identify the effects that Nmnat2 has on normal development. In this study, a randomly generated mutant was identified with a full knock-out of the Nmnat2 gene and a grossly distended bladder named Bloated Bladder (Blad). Morphological analysis of the Blad mutants showed systemic effects that are all characteristic of an embryo that is paralyzed in utero. The brain itself appeared normal, but motoneuron and sensory neurons were significantly reduced at embryonic day 18.5 (E18.5). Analysis of NF+ peripheral nerves in the hind limb identified a distal-to-proximal pattern of axonal degeneration. Interestingly, the heterozygote population was indistinguishable from the wild-type animals in this portion of the study, even with a 50-75% reduction in Nmnat2 expression. When taking a closer look at the bladder, the bladder starts to show signs of developmental differences at E15.5 in the Blad mutants, but the bladder wall appears to mature and develop the appropriate neuroreceptors even in the absence of functional innervation. There were some interesting trends of reduced muscle strength and activity in a pilot study comparing heterozygotes to wild littermates, but none of the trends appeared to be progressive, and there were not enough animals to make any definitive deductions. In conclusion, Nmnat2 is involved in peripheral axon maintenance during development.

Unprecedented shifts in age structure has important implications for the number of people ages 65 and older living with disabilities and requiring long-term care. Further, health care trends, including the early discharge of hospital patients and the transition of Medicaid funds away from nursing home care to community-based care (Stillman and Black 2005), has resulted in increasing numbers of older adults relying on assistance from family, especially adult children (Freedman and Spillman 2014). While it is known that adult children play an instrumental role in caring for their aging parents, relatively little is known about how this arrangement impacts the well-being of the parent. Using data from the 2010 Health and Retirement Study, this dissertation examines care receipt and care provision among functionally limited older adults and their adult children, as well as their associations with mental health. Unlike previous research examining care (receipt and provision) between older adults and their adult children, this study pays greater attention to potential gender differences in the type of care given or received, as well as their associations with mental health. In my first analysis I use logistic regression analysis to examine how sociodemographic, socioeconomic, and health factors affect the likelihood of giving and receiving various types of care. Results examining care receipt revealed that parents who are most in need of care – for example, women, race/ethnic minorities, and those with fewer socioeconomic resources and poorer health – are also more likely to receive it from their adult children. Results examining care provision revealed that parents with greater socioeconomic resources were most likely to provide financial support to adult children, while women, non-Hispanic Blacks and non-married parents were more likely to provide delayed care provision, including a will/trust or life insurance benefit. In my second set of analyses address I use negative binomial regression to examine how care (receipt and provision) are associated with mental health. I also examine how associations between care (receipt and provision) and mental health vary by gender and by level of functional limitation. Results for care receipt reveal that receiving help with IADLs is associated with better mental health and that this association is stronger for women and for those with greater functional limitations. Results for care provision reveal that including a child in a will or as a life insurance beneficiary was associated with better mental health, on average. In contrast, providing financial support to adult children was associated with worse mental health for women and those with more functional limitations. This study underscores the importance of examining specific types of care received and given and highlights the importance of considering the gender of care recipients when examining the association between care and mental health.

▼ BACKGROUND: Low testosterone levels in older women have been shown to be associated with frailty. Whether older postmenopausal women with a history of bilateral oophorectomy before natural menopause resulting in lower testosterone levels (surgical menopause) have higher risk for frailty is not known. This prospective study investigated whether women who had surgically-induced menopause had a greater risk of frailty than naturally menopausal women. Furthermore, we also determined whether lower serum testosterone levels would be associated with frailty in our study population of older postmenopausal women. METHODS: The sample included 7699 community-dwelling white women aged ≥ 65 years from the Study of Osteoporotic Fractures (SOF). Participants were determined to have undergone surgical versus natural menopause based on whether or not they reported retrospectively having undergone a bilateral oophorectomy before or after menopause. Frailty status was classified as not frail, somewhat frail (hereafter referred to as Intermediate stage), frail or death at four interviews, conducted 6-18 years post-baseline. Baseline serum total testosterone concentrations were available on a subset of 541 participants. RESULTS: Approximately 12.6% of the participants reported surgical menopause. A total of 39.7% were classified as somewhat frail (intermediate stage) and 10.1% as frail. Twenty-two (22.0%) of the participants died during the interview period when frailty was assessed. Mean age at baseline was 71.2 years. Total serum testosterone levels were significantly lower among surgically menopausal women compared to naturally menopausal women (p<0.01). Surgical menopause was not significantly associated with an increased risk of frailty (Odds Ratio=0.94; 95% CI=0.72-1.22), intermediate stage frailty (Odds Ratio=0.96; 95% CI=0.80-1.10) or death (Odds Ratio=1.17 ; 95% CI=0.97-1.42) after adjusting for age, BMI and number of IADL impairments. Stratified analyses showed that oral estrogen use did not modify these associations. CONCLUSION: Among postmenopausal women, surgical menopause was not associated with a higher risk for frailty compared to naturally menopausal women, even in the absence of estrogen therapy. Future prospective studies are needed to investigate hormonal mechanisms involved in the development of frailty in older postmenopausal women.

▼ High body mass index (BMI) has been found to be associated with a multitude of health issues and its longitudinal effect on mortality needs to be further understood due to increasing rates of obesity. The relationship between BMI and mortality is a key public health concern due to the rise in obesity prevalence and advancing knowledge of the impact of BMI on all aspects of health. In order to expand and further contribute to the understanding of the long-term impact of BMI on mortality, we utilized prospective, longitudinal data from the Veterans Affairs (VA) Normative Aging Study (NAS) to assess the relationship between BMI and 40-year all-cause and cause-specific mortality in men. Cox regression was used to evaluate the relationship between BMI and all-cause and cause-specific (cancer, congenital heart disease (CHD), stroke) mortality. Of the 1,680 men included in this study, the majority were White (96.7%), born between 1920–1929, were between ages 50–59 years, married, completed some college, identified as an occasional drinker and a current smoker, and worked in a “white-collar” job. This study did not identify any men who had an underweight BMI. 594 men had normal BMI, 910 men were overweight, and 176 men were obese. After adjusting for confounders, compared to men with normal BMI, overweight men had higher risk for CHD mortality (HR=1.33, 95% CI, 0.95–1.86), lower risk for all-cause and stroke mortality (HR=0.98, 95% CI, 0.87–1.11, HR=0.88, 95% CI, 0.53–1.45, respectively), and no difference in risk for cancer mortality (HR=1.00, 95% CI, 0.82–1.23). Obese men had higher risk for all-cause and stroke mortality (HR=1.19, 95% CI, 0.98–1.45, HR=1.26, 95% CI, 0.57–2.79, respectively) and lower risk for CHD and cancer mortality (HR=0.87, 95% CI, 0.48–1.58, HR=0.95, 95% CI, 0.68–1.33, respectively). In conclusion, this study found that men categorized as obese had an increased risk of all-cause and stroke mortality, and men categorized as overweight had an increased risk of CHD mortality, compared to those with normal BMI. However, due to all confidence intervals crossing 1.00, there is a suggestion that BMI had an effect on mortality in this sample. These results are limited by selection bias during the NAS screening process which selected for healthy men. This may have skewed our results toward the null, potentially diminishing the association between BMI and mortality. Advisors/Committee Members: Spiro, Avron (advisor), Aschengrau, Ann (advisor).

Blood pressure has previously been associated with decline in memory over time, though the exact mechanism behind this effect is uncertain. Infections, which can lead to systemic inflammation have also been linked to some cardiovascular damage to the brain, known as microbleeds, which have themselves been linked to greater declines in cognition in old age. The present study investigates whether blood pressure, a self-reported history of infection, and an indirect measure of inflammation known as the erythrocyte sedimentation rate have any association with on episodic and semantic memory and visuospatial skills in the Betula study, a Swedish longitudinal population study. The effect of elevated blood pressure (over 140 mm Hg systolic and/or 90 mm Hg diastolic), high blood sedimentation (top 33% against bottom 33% of participants), and self-reported infection were all found to not have any significant effect on episodic memory, semantic memory or visuospatial skills. Some of the possible explanations are elaborated in the discussion.

Högt blodtryck har associerats med minnesnedsättning men den exakta mekanismen hur ett samband kan förstås är dock oklar. Infektioner har visat sig ge systematiska inflammationer och har också satts i samband med vissa kardiovaskulära förändringar i hjärnan, så kallade mikroblödningar, vilka i sig har associerats med ökad risk för kognitive nedsättning i hög ålder. Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka om blodtryck och infektion (självrapporterad infektion samt infektion indirekt mätt genom sänkereaktion) kan relateras till episodiskt och semantisk minne samt visuospatial förmåga i Betula studien, som är en svensk longitudinell populationsbaserad studie. Resultatet visade att varken högt blodtryck (över 140 mm Hg systoliskt eller 90 mm Hg diastoliskt), hög sänkereaktion (de 33 % med högst värde jämfört med de 33 % med lägst värde) eller självrapporterad infektion hade någon signifikant effekt för episodiskt minne, semantiskt minne eller visuospatial förmåga. Några möjliga förklaringar till detta resultat utvecklas i diskussionen.

▼ The elderly population of Taiwan reached 149 million (about 7% of the total number of people in Taiwan) in 1993, the number renders that Taiwan was changing into an ageing society in the near future. Since 2000 the domestic TFR (total fertility rate) had been declining to 0.9, the number represents that Taiwan became one the lowest TFR nations of the world, and facing a severe struggle of aging and low birth rate. Chapter on the Great Commonwealth of Peace and Prosperity mentioned that âPrivision is made of the aged till their deathâ, which means this society should be prepared for the geriatric. Now a days, more and more people choose to marry at a mature age or stay single; and further, the fertility desire of married is declining so that many people tend to not have more than one child. Hence those children would face potential issues of the age gap between parent and children. Whether the young adults have the ability to afford their parental retire life? While the others who had no children to take care of their retire life? The purpose of this dissertation is to concentrate upon the laws and decrees, related government policies, conditions of elder care and rehabilitation, and further concerning with phenomenon and theories of aging and social welfare discussion to investigating the insufficient factors which might not fit for the current aging environment, in order to make each elder could live with respect and liberty. Base on the reasons aforementioned, the elder care system could be reinforced by several aspects as below: 1. Concept: people should realize that idea geriatric nursing and care is relied on themselves and public support. 2. System: well coordination between related departments could provide people integrated and qualified service. 3. Pragmatic: completed geriatric care should combine with substantial appliance and software supply. Furthermore, the growth of aging population is going to be a thriving market with potential commercial possibility, in other words, the silver economy would be regarded as a direction for the future development; moreover, in the aspect of social participation, the knowledge, experience and techniques of elders are rare and recommendable resource. The society could use those resources wisely, and let the elders to have various opportunities to contribute their ability for the public.

▼ Multitasking is an extremely important skill and one that is ubiquitous to success in everyday life. Patients with frontal lobe damage have shown impairments in their ability to multitask, despite performing normally on traditional neuropsychological tests of executive function. The frontal lobes are associated with natural age-related decline which, as a result, may cause impairment in the multitasking ability of older adults. This study investigates the effects of healthy adult ageing on multitasking by comparing the age-related performance of older adults (aged 60-80) with younger adults (aged 18-40). The supportive cognitive constructs underlying enhanced multitasking performance and the age-related trajectory of these constructs in terms of their relative influence are also investigated in this study. Participants were tested on a measure of multitasking involving 4 subtasks which were to be attempted within a 10 minute period, with the overall aim being to score as many points as possible across all 4 tasks; 20 young adults and 20 old adults were tested. Results showed a significant difference (p<0.05) in multitasking performance between young and old age groups, with older adults performing significantly poorer than young. Retrospective and prospective memory significantly correlated with multitasking performance in both young and old age groups, but elicited stronger correlations and explained a larger proportion of the variance in younger adults performance than old. In healthy adult ageing this decline in the supportive cognitive constructs of retrospective and prospective memory meant an increased dependency on factors such as intelligence and general cognitive ability in order to successfully multitask. These age-related changes in the cognitive correlates supporting multitasking performance and the emerging importance of intelligence and cognitive ability to the sustainability of performance in old age has important implications for future research regarding multitasking and ageing.

▼ Aim & background: The aim of this thesis is to explore how the religious social context in Ireland has helped shape the health and ageing outcomes of older women and men. Understanding the factors behind the ability to maintain physical, cognitive and psychosocial wellbeing is crucial in the context of rapidly aging populations. Research recognises differences in health trajectories for men and women, but there is a lack of understanding of the mechanisms behind the role of gender in ageing. Within the Irish context, the impact of social and individual religiosity on women's social roles and ageing outcomes are particularly important. The effects of religiosity on health have been widely studied, but little consensus exists on the pathways that link religiosity and ageing. Methods: Four studies were conducted using nationally representative data from The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA). Data was analysed using multilevel modelling techniques to longitudinally test causal relationships between religious belief and practice, parity and ageing outcomes in older Irish men and women. A fifth study combined quantitative data from TILDA with qualitative data from Irish women aged 65 and over. Qualitative data was collected to complement and further illuminate results from the quantitative phase in a mixed methods analysis of wellbeing in later life. Results: Findings of both quantitative and qualitative data showed that religion and the religious social context are associated with health in late life through complex pathways. Religious attendance in those who are religious was found to be the factor most strongly associated with health. More frequent religious attendance was associated with lower mortality risk, lower depressive symptoms and higher wellbeing. Results for a link between religious attendance and physical function and cognition were inconclusive. Qualitative data suggested the positive associations of religious attendance may be explained by social connectedness and psychological benefits. However, qualitative data also illustrated possible negative effects of religiosity in Ireland. Conclusion: Religious involvement in those who are religious is likely to be related to health outcomes through social connectedness and other factors which support physical and mental health in Ireland.

▼ The biggest threat to healthy aging is sedentary living with the golden years of most individuals being affected by disorders that are exacerbated by unhealthy lifestyles. Helping people age better is important and it can be achieved through participation in regular physical activity. Monitoring population levels of physical activity using subjective and objective measures is an important part of a public health response. This study aimed to determine the physical activity and body composition levels of older adults and the association of physical activity on body composition with health-related quality of life, life-space mobility and successful aging of life of older adults in Chatsworth, KwaZulu-Natal Province. A total of 210 older adults were randomly selected, both male and females, participated in the study and completed the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire, RAND Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Health Survey, Life-Space Mobility Questionnaire and the Successful Aging Scale. BMI (kg/m2) was determined and step count was tracked for 7 days with the Omoron Pedometer. There were positive correlations between the participants actual physical activity and self-reported physical activity levels (r=0.183, p=0.008). The majority of the participants were overweight (51%, n=107). There was no significant relationship between BMI (r=0.63, p=0.366) and actual steps taken as well as no significant correlation with SF-36 and the average number of steps in 7 days of the participants (r=-0.112, p=0.107). A significant correlation between total LSQ (r=0.224, p=0.001) and SAS (r=-0.152, p=0.027) with the average number of steps in 7 days of the participant was noted. It was concluded that there is a positive relationship between self-reported physical activity and actual activity and life-space mobility and successful aging of life in older adults, but such relationship is not meaningfully predictive in this population. Strategies to improve physical inactivity in the elderly need to be implemented to ensure successful aging and quality of life in the elderly. Advisors/Committee Members: Grace, Jeanne Martin.

Vieillir immigré est devenu une situation commune à un nombre grandissant de personnes en France. En 2015, près d’1,5 million de personnes immigrées étaient âgées de 60 ans et plus. La constante augmentation du nombre d’immigrés âgés constitue une question sociale et politique en France, ce qui a été confirmé tant par les récents travaux de l’Assemblée nationale que par l’avancée des connaissances scientifiques. Le nombre de travaux produits sur des territoires différents, là où les migrants âgés sont plus ou moins présents démographiquement reste encore aujourd’hui restreint. Face à ce constat, l’objectif de cette thèse par articles est de proposer une lecture territoriale et gérontologique de la vieillesse en migration. Deux terrains d’étude ont été retenus dans le cadre du projet doctoral (premièrement, les villes d’Angers et de Cholet en Maine-et-Loire et deuxièmement, la Ville de Montreuil en Seine-Saint-Denis). Les terrains de recherche ont été l’occasion d’analyser les conditions de vieillissement des personnes immigrées dans des contextes spatiaux différents (analyse des données territoriales et du discours des acteurs médico-sociaux, associatifs et politiques intervenants auprès des immigrés vieillissants). Dans la continuité, une analyse des récits biographiques d’un échantillon de migrants âgés résidant en Maine-et-Loire a été effectuée pou mettre en exergue les enjeux sociaux et spatiaux structurant les expériences de vieillissement des immigrés. Les résultats de recherche produits témoignent de la nécessité d’appréhender l’hétérogénéité de ces publics et d’étudier leurs besoins en regard de leurs parcours et des espaces qui structurent leur (fin de) vie.

In France, getting old as an immigrant became a condition shared by a growing number of people. In 2015, about 1.5million of immigrants are 60years old or more. In France, the constant increase in the number of elderly immigrants represents a social and political issue, a fact confirmed by the recent works of the national assembly as well as by the development of scientific research. Nonetheless, the diversity of studies dealing with different territories inhabited by elderly immigrants remains limited. Consequently, this thesis (structured around several scientific articles) aims at proposing a representation of the “migrating elderly”, articulating a territorial and gerontological approach. Two different territories were taken into consideration: Angers andCholet (Maine-et-Loire), and Montreuil (Seine-Saint-Denis).This selection provided the opportunity to analyse the aging conditions of migrating population which evolve according to different spatial contexts. In this study, we considered territorial data, medico-social accounts, as well as the work of associations and political interventions to elderly immigrants.In addition, biographical facts and stories from as ample of elderly migrants in Maine-et-Loire were analysed to highlight the political and social issues that structure the aging conditions of immigrants.The result of this work proves…

▼ There are approximately 70,000 adults (aged <50) in England living with a diagnosis of schizophrenia or psychosis related disorder. With an increase in life expectancy, and an ageing population this figure is likely to double in the next decade (Vahia & Cohen, 2008). The needs of older adults change across the lifecourse for example with health co-morbidities and neurocognitive decline. As such older adults with psychosis represent a large burden to the NHS. It is therefore imperative to understand what it means for this population to â€˜age wellâ€™ and what interventions are available to help to further support wellbeing in older age. Paper 1 presents a systematic review of studies examining the effectiveness of psychosocial interventions for older adults with psychosis at improving social functioning. A literature search was conducted using the following electronic databases: Web of Science, PsycINFO, Embase, CINAHL and Medline. Seventeen studies were identified that satisfied inclusion criteria for the review. The review found evidence for the use of skills training interventions, both with respect to social skills and psychiatric and physical health skills training. There was not enough evidence to recommend any other psychosocial interventions. Overall, the review revealed a need for more robust research about interventions that have been shown to be effective in other age groups. Paper 2 presents a qualitative study exploring what the concept of â€˜ageing wellâ€™ means to mid to older aged adults with psychosis. Sixteen participants, aged 50-74 (Mage = 61), diagnosed with psychosis related disorders (i.e. schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder etc.), were interviewed about their views about ageing well, and how this can be best supported. Recordings were transcribed verbatim and then analysed using thematic analysis. Four themes were identified from the data: i) engaging with life, ii) attitude to life and ageing, iii) maintaining wellbeing and iv) having good relationships. This study showed that people with psychosis can consider themselves to be ageing well. Unlike previous literature participants also reported the importance of their relationships with professionals, developing a mastery over their mental health difficulties and the continued impact of stigma on ageing well. Therapeutic approaches that target these domains may therefore facilitate ageing well with this population. Paper 3 is a critical reflection of the systematic review, the empirical paper and the research process as a whole. It aims to provide justification for, and explanations of key decisions that were made and outline clinical and future research implications Advisors/Committee Members: BROWN, LAURA LJE, Berry, Katherine, Palmier-Claus, Jasper, Brown, Laura.

▼ Frailty is a loss of physiological reserve that leaves individuals at risk of poor recovery when exposed to a stressor. Frailty has been identified as a risk factor for poor outcomes for older adults when they are admitted to hospital, although there are still some barriers to implementation of measurement tools. Some frail older adults will still make a good recovery. Health assets are factors that are associated with health and recovery and are also desirable in their own right. Inclusion of health assets in models of illness and recovery may improve prognostication and identify patient centred strategies to facilitate recovery. Aims of the PhD 1. Determine whether is feasible to measure frailty based on routine clinical assessment 2. Examine whether health assets can be identified in hospitalised older adults 3. Investigate whether individual health assets improve outcomes for hospitalised older adults 4. Develop a health assets index 5. Validate the health assets index in hospitalised older adults Methods In addressing these aims, five phases of research were undertaken: Phase 1: A systematic review of the literature was undertaken to identify health assets in the hospital setting. MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL and PsycINFO were searched to identify studies examining outcomes for hospitalised older adults. Included studies examined at least one potential individual health asset, which was a psychosocial characteristic or health characteristic. Study quality was assessed, and findings are narratively described. Phase 2: A prospective cohort study was conducted in an acute general medical unit to determine whether frailty could be measured based on routine clinical information by junior medical staff. All patients aged 65 and over admitted to a general medical unit during August and September 2013 were eligible for the study. CFS score at baseline was documented by a member of the treating medical team. Demographic information and outcomes were obtained from medical records. The primary outcomes were functional decline and death within three months. Phase 3: A secondary analysis of an existing data set was conducted to examine the interaction between health assets and frailty. Patients of 1418 aged ≥ 70 years admitted to 11 hospitals in Australia were evaluated at admission using the interRAI assessment system for Acute Care, which surveys a large number of domains, including cognition, communication, mood and behaviour, activities of daily living, continence, nutrition, skin condition, falls and medical diagnosis. The data set was interrogated for potential health assets and a multiple logistic regression adjusted for frailty index, age and gender as covariates was performed for the outcomes mortality, length of stay, readmission and new need for residential care. Phase 4: Based on phases 2 and 3, a heath assets index was created. A pilot study was conducted to determine the feasibility of collecting this information in hospitalised older adults. Phase 5: A prospective cohort study was…

▼ Background & Aim: Frailty is a syndrome characterised by multisystem physiological dysfunction, making older adults vulnerable to stressors. Frailty is often considered as a wasting disorder however there is increasing evidence that many overweight and obese people are also frail. The broad aim of the thesis was to explore whether anthropometric indicators of adiposity and obesity are linked with an increased susceptibility to frailty in middle aged and older European men.Methods: 3,369 men aged 40-79 years were recruited from population registers in eight European centres for participation in the European Male Ageing Study (EMAS) a prospective study of male ageing. Subjects were invited by letter to attend for an interviewer-assisted questionnaire, functional assessments and anthropometric measurements including height (m), weight (Kg), waist (cm) and hip circumference (cm), from which body mass index (BMI) (Kg/m2), and waist hip ratio (WHR) were calculated. Subjects were assessed again after a median of 4.5 years, using the same study instruments. They were asked also about occurrence of falls in the past year. Frailty was assessed using adaptations (because of availability of data) of two established methods, the frailty phenotype (FP) and the Frail Scale (FS), both comprising 5 domains, and also a Frailty Index (FI) a ratio based on observed over a range of potential deficits. Incident frailty was defined as the new occurrence of frailty in those who were not frail at baseline.Results: 3369 men, mean age 60yrs contributed data to this analysis. Using data from the study the prevalence of frailty at baseline was 2.6% using the FP method and 2.7% using the FS and the mean Frailty Index was 0.13 (IQR=0.05-0.18). The prevalence of frailty increased with age. Those who were frail, using either definition had a significantly increased waist circumference (WC) and also WHR. The FI was higher and also correlated with these anthropometric measures. During follow-up there were 193 deaths. Compared to those who were not frail at baseline those who were frail had an increased risk of mortality and also were more likely to experience falls. Of those who were not frail at baseline and who completed the follow-up assessments the incidence of frailty ranged from 2.1% to 3.5% depending on the definition. Mean Frailty Index increased from 0.12 to 0.13, in men who returned at follow-up. An increase in baseline adiposity measures WC & WHR was significantly associated with frailty incidence, at follow-up using both (FP & FS) models, while there was no association with BMI and % body fat. An increase in all baseline adiposity measure was significantly associated with frailty incidence defined by the FI and also a change in the Frailty Index. Conclusion: Frailty models adapted to EMAS predicted adverse outcomes. Obesity was associated with frailty and predicted frailty incidence at follow-up. Interventions to combat obesity in the elderly may help in preventing and reducing the occurrence of frailty.

▼ The functional integrity of the proteome is essential for proper cell functioning. Protein homeostasis, or proteostasis, is maintained by a network of pathways that mediate the biosynthesis, folding and degradation of proteins. Accumulating evidence suggest that ageing is associated with a general decline in protein homeostasis. Proteins are synthesised in the cytosol as extended polypeptide chains, which must then be folded in to their native conformation, before moving to their site of function. Protein folding occurs in different subcellular compartments, such as the cytosol and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Due to the nature of the proteins that are processed in the ER (e.g. ionic channels, receptors, hormones, signalling molecules), the function of this compartment can be seen to be of vital importance to the cells. However, the effect of age on ER protein homeostasis is virtually unknown. A combination of post-mortem mouse tissues and cell-based models were used to examine the impact of age on ER protein folding, quality control and the ER stress response. Analysis of the expression level of ER-resident and ER-linked proteins showed a number of age-related changes in mouse tissues, in human fibroblasts aged in vitro by serial passage, and human fibroblasts obtained from young and old donors (in vivo aged cells). Overall, the pattern of changes was variable between different tissues and cell systems. However, a common feature of aged tissues and both cellular models of ageing, was a significant increase in phosphorylation of eIF2α, indicating that ER protein homeostasis is affected with age. In addition, ageing in several tissues and in both cellular systems was associated with accumulation of polyubiquitinated substrates, suggesting that degradation of abnormal proteins via the proteasome is deficient. More detailed investigation of ER proteostasis using the cellular models showed that in vitro aged cells had a decreased capacity to fold a temperature sensitive model membrane protein (ts O45 VGV-G) and were less efficient at degrading two model substrates of the ER-associated degradation pathway. Since the ER protein folding and degradation pathways are modulated by ER stress response signalling to restore ER homeostasis, therefore their malfunctioning would impact on the ability of aged cells to cope with stress. Indeed, in the aged cells both PERK and IRE-1 signalling were perturbed. In addition, the level of BiP was not upregulated following ER stress in the aged cells. Moreover, ER stress induction led to decreased cell survival in the case of aged cells, showing that the inability of aged cells to maintain ER protein homeostasis results in increased susceptibility to cell death. All these data together shows how perturbed ER proteostasis can occur with increased age and its impact on overall cell wellbeing, therefore provide new insight into mechanisms of cell ageing.
