“…Consequently, only 16.8% of centenarians show still an adequate MMSE score between 26 and 30 [66]. Platelet Mao-B levels in centenarians increased to a similar extent to that of the AD patients and may therefore indicate the accelerated age-related decline in their cognitive functions.…”

“…É possível afirmar que os idosos mais velhos, aqui entendidos como todos que possuem 80 anos ou mais (85 anos ou mais em países desenvolvidos), são sobreviventes e representantes de casos extraordinários do processo de envelhecimento bem sucedido, que Kalache, Veras e Ramos (1987, p. 207) complementam, quando afirmam que "tornar-se um centenário é um fato tão excepcional hoje quanto em qualquer ponto da História", como confirmam os Revisão da Literatura 54 estudos de Bauco et al (1996), Marín Larrain et al (1997, Ravaglia et al (1997), Von Strauss et al (2000, Nybo et al (2001), Coles (2004) e Ozaki et al (2007).

“…The high prevalence rates of bathing and toileting ADL disabilities have been con rmed in numerous other countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom [15][16][17]. Some studies further reveal that the onset of bathing and toileting di culties also occur earlier in older adults than other ADL limitations [18,19]. Speci cally, Fong & Feng (2018) showed that older Chinese adults tend to lose ability to use the toilet independently earlier than their American counterparts [20].…”

Background: For older adults, difficulties in bathing and toileting are often the most prevalent in the index of Activities of daily living (ADL). Few studies, however, have investigated how the built environment and other environmental factors affect bathing and toileting in later life. This study aims to fill this gap. Method: The data are from the 2014 Thousand-Village Survey (TVS), a national survey of Chinese rural residents of old age. The sample consists of 10,689 subjects, 55 years or older, from 536 villages across all provinces of China. The multinomial logistic regressions were applied to examine how difficulty in bathing and toileting was related to environmental factors such as geographic location, community amenity, and built environment of bathing and toileting. Results: Older adults living in the southern regions of China had lesser difficulty in bathing and toileting than those living in Northern China, controlling on other confounders. Better community conditions also reduced the likelihood of having such disabilities. Persons who bathed indoors without shower facilities, in public facility, and outdoors were significantly more likely to have bathing disability than those who showered indoors. Rural older adults who used pedestal pan and indoor bucket for toileting were more likely to have toileting disability than those who used indoor squatting facilities. Conclusion: Environmental factors are strongly associated with functional disability among older adults, but the relationship is not unidirectional. Having a showering facility could reduce difficulties of bathing for rural Chinese. Very frail older persons may actively choose to change their environmental settings to suit their needs, for instance, by using a pedestal pan or bucket for toileting as an alternative to squatting. There is an urgent need to promote the use of showering facilities and pedestal pans for toileting in rural China.
