“…The present BeCS-14 analysis aimed to (1) verify the correlation between the BFS cognitive-mental function subdomain and the IGD by expanding the study population, (2) investigate the impact of age on the correlation between the BFS cognitive-mental function subdomains and the IGD, and (3) investigate the impact of chronic stress exposure and its subdomains on the BFS cognitive-mental function.…”

“…The European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (EIP on AHA), launched by the European Commission in 2012, addresses the challenge of demographic change in Europe aiming at better prospects for the aging population in terms of quality of life, overall health and well-being [ 1 , 2 ]. Several items such as functioning (individual capability and underlying body systems), wellbeing, activities and participation, and diseases including chronic non-communicable diseases are part of the corresponding AHA framework [ 3 ].…”

Purpose This study aims to verify that the mental-cognitive domain of the validated generic bio-functional status (BFS)/bio-functional age (BFA) assessment tool, incorporating the concept of Active and Healthy Ageing (AHA), reflects cognitive performance. In addition, the effects of chronic stress exposure on the mental-cognitive BFS/BFA should be investigated. Methods The study was carried out as a monocenter, cross-sectional, observational, non-interventional trial (Bern Cohort Study 2014, BeCS-14) with the participation of 147 non-pediatric, non-geriatric subjects. All participants followed a standardized battery of biopsychosocial assessments consisting of BFS/BFA, a validated cognitive performance test battery (Inventar zur Gedächtnisdiagnostik; IGD) and a validated questionnaire for the assessment of chronic stress (Trier Inventory for the assessment of Chronic Stress; TICS), respectively. Results Mean cognitive performance was average and higher in younger or better educated individuals. The BFA of the participants was 7.8 ± 7.8 year-equivalents below their chronological age. The mental-cognitive BFS/BFA assessment correlated well with the validated questionnaire for cognition assessment, the IGD. Further, three TICS subdomains (work overload (r = − 0.246, p = 0.003), work discontent (r = − 0.299, p = 0.006) and pressure to succeed (r = − 0.274, p < 0.001)), reflecting mainly work-related stress, showed a significant negative correlation with the mental-cognitive BFS/BFA. Conclusions Our study shows that the BFS/BFA assessment tool follows European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (EIP-AHA) requirements. Further, we could demonstrate that higher levels of chronic work-related stress may be associated with poorer mental-cognitive performance and a pro-aging state indicating that cognitive impairments can be reduced by stress management interventions.

The chapter is devoted to the urgent problem of creating infrastructure to empower older people. Attention is paid to the age periodization of a person, since it is necessary to define the concept of “old age.” The main components of active longevity, defined by the World Health Organization, are considered. The problems arising in the implementation of the healthy aging policy in European countries are shown. The chapter focuses on the plan “Decade of Healthy Aging for the period 2021-2030,” as well as the interim results obtained at the end of 2023. The implementation of international initiatives to pursue a policy of active longevity is considered on the example of Russia. The reasons preventing the implementation of the federal project “The Older Generation” are highlighted. Attention is paid to the negative demographic situation in Russia from 1991 to 2013. The project “Moscow longevity,” implemented since 2018 for Moscow pensioners, is considered. The positive experience gained in Moscow in creating infrastructure to support the elderly is being scaled up in Russian regions.
