“…Also of interest is the factor 'general health' with the lowest average and the smallest standard deviation. Both the lowest average and highest homogeneity of this factor confirm earlier observations on the importance of cultural background for the perception of the relationship between age and general health (Franklin, Tate, 2009).…”

One of the most important factors of successful ageing is a sufficient level of motor independence, which is strongly associated with an appropriate level of activity. It was decided to determine the relationship between barriers to physical activity and physical activity and health self-assessment in healthy and chronically ill men, among 206 men aged 65-83 years. A relationship was found between kinesiophobia, physical activity and self-assessment of health, and the differences between health self-assessment in the healthy and chronically ill. No differences were found regarding activity. Important factors affecting the health of older men are selfawareness of being chronically sick, BMI and level of physical activity. A relationship exists between kinesiophobia, physical activity and self-assessment of health. The awareness of being chronically sick, BMI and level of physical activity are the most significant factors affecting the health self-assessment of older men.

Examining Supportive Evidence for Psychosocial Theories of Aging within the Oral History Narratives of Centenarians

et al. 2017

Abstract:Oral history provides researchers opportunities to assess narratives and compare them to existing theories of aging. Oftentimes the discussion of psychosocial theories of aging does not include the oldest-old. The purpose of this study was to assess evidence of psychosocial theories of aging within oral history narratives from a subsample of 20 centenarians from the Oklahoma 100 Year Life Oral History Project. Analysis utilized seven theories: Activity Theory, Continuity Theory, Disengagement Theory, Theory of Gerotranscendence, Modernization Theory, Selective Optimization with Compensation (SOC) Theory, and Socioemotional Selectivity Theory (SST). Researchers used content analysis to assess each oral history narrative and noted Activity Theory and Gerotranscendence had the most evidence. Most centenarians described how they were extremely active well into older adulthood. Common themes across oral history narratives indicated that centenarians maintained a preference for activity such as formal work. Centenarians also reported a readiness for death and little fear of it. In addition, increased time spent reflecting on spirituality and religion indicated changes in self-discovery. Identification of Disengagement and Socioemotional Selectivity were sparse in the transcripts. It is possible that to reach such longevity, centenarians relied on their communities and support networks to achieve this status. It is also possible that centenarians outlived individuals in their social networks who were emotionally fulfilling. Further qualitative work should assess evidence of psychosocial theories among other long-lived older adults.

“…A atividade física constitui um elemento crucial para o envelhecimento bem-sucedido, já que promove melhor saúde e ajuda os idosos a permanecerem independentes (Depp & Jeste, 2009;Franklin & Tate, 2009). O hábito do exercício na velhice coopera para melhorar o desempenho em atividades de vida diária, o controle de doenças crônicas, o senso de controle e de autoeficácia e a autopercepção de saúde (De Vitta et al, 2006;Ribeiro et al, 2009).…”

Participated thirteen men of an social center for elderly in operation at a private university located in Brasilia, Brazil, ages 62 to 78 years (M = 69.5). All of them were married, literate, retired and with chronic diseases. Data relating to the habits of life of the elderly were obtained through individual interviews conducted before and after the engagement of these in nine thematic group meetings grounded in cognitive-behavioral model. The results showed the strengthening of physical exercise, healthy eating and assertive behaviors by participants, as well as greater emphasis on beliefs about the benefits of health-promoting behaviors. The intervention was useful to maximize healthy habits, although it has larger effects to sensitize and maintain than to change behaviors.
