“…Third, with increasing age, the physical and physiological functioning of the older population changes and vision, hearing, and touch also gradually deteriorate. For example, slow response times, poor physical flexibility, hyposthenia, nervous system degradation, anorexia, weight loss, and memory loss begin to appear ( MacIntosh et al, 2000 ; McLean and Le Couteur, 2004 ; Robbins et al, 2019 ). Psychologically, the older population have a lower ability to accept new things and are prone to feel inferior, lonely, and lost; they are also prone to fear, anxiety, depression, sensitivity, and stubbornness ( Robbins et al, 2019 ).…”

Recently, numerous studies have focused on tourism among the older population. Of them, most reported on status analysis, tourism motivation, and tourism model, to name a few; however, there was a lack of comprehensive synthesis and analysis of the motivation, influencing factors, policy impact, and other factors of older tourism. Thus, this study conducted various keyword searches among both English and Chinese publications. We found that older population’s tourism is affected by various factors, such as travel expense, physical condition, the length and distance of a trip, and cultural influence. The results provide a reference for the development and implementation of tourism among the older population.

“…Elderly lonely people, often feel lonely and boring, easy to produce sad feelings or depressed mood, spirit flagging, will be transformed into serious depression. For hospitalized elderly lonely patients, the treatment effect is poor and complications are more [ 20 ]. Lack of social support exacerbates the loneliness of elderly patients [ 21 ].…”

Background Patients with malignant tumors are more likely to have psychological problems due to their worries about their life expectancy. To understand the psychological status of elderly patients with malignant liver tumor undergoing hepatectomy better, the study was designed to investigate the current situation of anxiety and depression in elderly patients with malignant liver tumor undergoing hepatectomy and to analyze its related factors. Methods A total of 126 elderly patients with malignant liver tumor undergoing hepatectomy were selected as the research objects. The anxiety and depression of all subjects were evaluated by HADS (Hosptial Anxiety and Depression Scale). The correlation factors affecting the psychological state of elderly patients with malignant liver tumor undergoing hepatectomy were analyzed by linear regression method. Results The HADS-A score of elderly patients with malignant liver tumor undergoing hepatectomy was 8.79 ± 2.56, among which 37 patients were asymptomatic, 60 patients with suspicious symptoms, and 29 patients with definite symptoms. The HADS-D score was 8.40 ± 2.97, among which 61 patients were asymptomatic, 39 patients with suspicious symptoms, and 26 patients with definite symptoms. Multivariate analysis using linear regression method showed that FRAIL score, residence, and complication were significantly associated with anxiety and depression of elderly patients with malignant liver tumor undergoing hepatectomy. Conclusions Anxiety and depression in elderly patients with malignant liver tumor undergoing hepatectomy were obvious. FRAIL score, regional differences, and the complication were the risk factors for anxiety and depression in elderly patients with malignant liver tumor undergoing hepatectomy. Improving frailty, reducing regional differences, and preventing complications is beneficial to alleviate the adverse mood of elderly patients with malignant liver tumor undergoing hepatectomy.

This article provides an in-depth analysis of the molecular and cellular alterations linked to the aging process in males. It elucidates the physiological disruptions that give rise to different diseases and a decrease in functional ability. The inquiry explores the complex correlation between aging, sexual dysfunction, and infertility in males, with a focus on the physiological alterations in spermatogonial stem cells and the impact of oxidative stress on male reproductive capacity. The function of testosterone replacement therapy and its potential advantages in enhancing sexual activity, bone density, and overall health in older males are highlighted. Nevertheless, it is prudent to exercise caution as there is a correlation between testosterone replacement therapy and heightened cardiovascular risk. The article summarizes rehabilitation options for elderly men, specifically focusing on exercise regimens and cardiac rehabilitation, as means to tackle erectile dysfunction and mitigate mortality risks. The advantages of yoga in enhancing mental and physical well-being in males, particularly those grappling with prostate cancer or infertility are mentioned. The significance of adopting a comprehensive and interdisciplinary strategy towards men's health is emphasized, with particular attention given to the contributions of primary care physicians, urologists, and nurses. The significance of customized communication tactics for males and the necessity of periodic examinations for promoting healthier aging are emphasized.
