“…The physical and communication behavioural modifications can lead to linked improvements in both mental and cognitive wellbeing for older adults [ 74 ]. The communications ecology model may be relevant to an age-friendly community [ 75 ]. A previous study also showed that older adults with greater use of adaptation via communications may cope and have defense mechanisms across adulthood [ 76 ].…”

The communication ecology model of successful aging (CEMSA) as a part of aging studies from a communication perspective was replicated in the Indonesian context. The CEMSA provided a specific perspective from communication scholars about the successful aging process. The study of CEMSA has grown significantly to demonstrate the importance of the interactive-communication process to propagate and enhance aging studies. However, there has been no specific aging study from a communication perspective, especially from communication scholars in the Indonesian context. This study applied all concepts, variables, measurements, and analyses from the replicated study. The result showed that seven domains of communication about aging may be relevant to predict successful aging from a negative effect and positive effect, and efficacy toward aging. The model showed that the uncertainty and combination of a negative and positive effect in seven domains of communication about aging could construct the efficacy and success of the aging process. The model with seven domains of communication about aging could be proved while the data were gathered not by self-report.

“…24 Yang et al (2023) also found no association between gender and frailty in CKD patients. 25 However, Xu et al (2022) and Li et al (2021) show a strong correlation between gender and frailty in the geriatric population. 27,28 The theoretical perspective supports the idea that frailty risk often increases in females.…”

Background: The prevalence of frailty in the elderly population is reported to be >60% in haemodialysis-dependent CKD patients. According to the Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment, several factors can influence frailty score. Identification of these risk factors is essential to improve and enhance the quality of care for CKD patients with frailty. Method: This is a cross sectional study done on elderly CKD patients undergoing routine haemodialysis at Haji Adam Malik Hospital Medan. Bivariate and multivariate data analysis was done to analyze correlations of factors towards frailty score. Results: From 62 samples, there was a correlation of age (p=0.019; R 0.298); nutritional factors (p<0.001; R -0.666); comorbidities (p<0.001; R 0.556); functional status (p<0.001; R -0.875); mental status (p<0.001; R -0.711); depression (p<0.001; R 0.557) with frailty and no correlation of gender with frailty (p=0.962). Multivariate analysis of all factors toward frailtyshowed significant p values in CCI, MMSE and ADL respectively 0.006; 0.004; 0.000 with R2 value of 80.1%. Conclusion: There were strong correlations on better geriatric nutritional, functional and mental status on a lower frailty score. Comorbidity severity and depression increased frailty scores moderately. Increasing age may increase frailty scores with a weak correlation magnitude. There was no significant correlation between gender and frailty. Multivariate analysis showed CCI, MMSE and ADL as the variables influencing frailty most. Keywords: Frailty, chronic kidney disease, haemodialysis.

“…For planning and evaluation purposes, it is important to determine the mechanisms that account for these links in different populations. Xu et al [ 42 ] found that a higher level of age-friendliness in a community is associated with lower odds of frailty, for example. Services to detect and treat mental health problems, which may directly and indirectly affect health and physical activity, cognitive function, and premature mortality are also important areas of prevention and intervention [ 43 ].…”

As age-friendly community (AFC) initiatives grow, it will be essential to determine whether older adults who live in an AFC have better health than those who live in other environments. This study uses data from the 2017 AARP AFC Surveys and the AARP Livability Index to assess whether AFCs promote the health of older adults. We analyze data for 3027 adults aged 65 and older who reside in 262 zip code areas. Following AARP guidelines, we allocated the sample into two groups: an AFC group (livability score of 51+; n = 2364) and a non-AFC (score ≤ 50, n = 663). The outcome variable was self-rated health (M = 3.5; SD = 1.1; range: 1–5). We used an inverse probability weighting approach to evaluate whether older adults who live in an AFC reported better self-rated health than those who live in a non-AFC. Findings showed that older adults who lived in an AFC had better self-rated health than those in a non-AFC (b = 0.08, p = 0.027). Compared to non-Hispanic Whites, Black and Hispanic older adults reported worse self-rated health. Inasmuch as living in an AFC can promote the well-being of older adults, policymakers and practitioners should continue to develop and sustain high-quality, accessible built and social environments.
