“…It is difficult to explain this discrepancy. There are several possible explanations: inadequate clinical education on comorbid psychiatric assessment in older adults (Goodman, 2009;Goodman & Thase, 2009;Weisler & Goodman, 2008), medical illnesses in older adults may consume clinicians' time not allowing for comprehensive psychiatric assessment (Adelman et al, 2000;Herndon et al, 1997), assumption that the likelihood of undetected mental health disorders is negatively correlated with duration/age (Buitelaar & Ferdinand, 2013;Chen et al, 2018;Soegaard, 2012), and ageism bias dismissing psychiatry symptoms in older adults (Asherson et al, 2012;Officer et al, 2016;Ribeiro-Goncalves et al, 2023;Temple et al, 2021). Previous studies also indicate that impairments related to ADHD (e.g., financial issues, unemployment, and social structure) can change with age (Anker et al, 2017;Brown et al, 2017;Holst & Thorell, 2020;L et al, 2022;Lensing et al, 2015;Michielsen et al, 2015), which could be related to our findings in that younger patients and older patients had different levels of documented impairment related to their ADHD.…”

Objective: Several studies have shown that Adult ADHD presents differently in younger and older adults. We sought to assess the difference in care between these two groups using previously identified quality measures (QMs). Methods: Using electronic health record data, we matched a younger group of ADHD patients to an older group. We then assessed the achievement of the QMs using probit models with and without interaction terms. Results: The majority of QMs shown an increase in achievement for both groups over time. However, significant differences in quality of care between younger and older adult ADHD patients persisted. By the end of the study period, with the exception of three QMs, younger patients achieved the QMs more. Conclusion: While, in general, the quality of care for adult ADHD increased from 2010 to 2020, there were still differences in care between younger and older adult ADHD patients.

“…Research [15] into resilience provides critical support for 'Senescence Syndromes' as a multifaceted approach to aging. Recognizing the intricate interplay of biological, psychological, and social factors, 'Senescence Syndromes' champions resilience not only as a trait but as an essential component for seniors to overcome societal challenges such as ageism.…”

“…The 'Senescence Syndromes' nomenclature is a call to action for society to reshape the aging narrative-one that transcends decline and celebrates the enduring capacity for growth and contribution. Thus, the insights from Ribeiro-Gonçalves et al [14][15] are pivotal, showcasing how resilience can underpin a holistic, life-affirming approach to aging within the 'Senescence Syndromes' framework.…”

Redefining the concept of aging is crucial for advancing gerontological research and healthcare practices. In this paper, we propose a new framework, 'Senescence Syndromes,' to more accurately reflect the multidimensional nature of aging. Traditional perceptions of aging often misclassify it as a disease, oversimplifying its complex biological underpinnings and societal implications. By reconceptualizing aging through a lens of various interrelated biological processes, such as antagonistic pleiotropy, damage accumulation, and molecular heterogeneity, we challenge these oversimplified views. This reconceptualization is not just semantically significant but also crucial for developing more effective medical interventions and healthcare strategies. Moreover, our proposed framework addresses the societal issue of ageism and its psychological impacts on older adults. We emphasize the importance of resilience in combating ageism, highlighting how societal perceptions directly influence the well-being of the aging population. Adopting the 'Senescence Syndromes' perspective can revolutionize our approach to aging, leading to research and treatments that enhance both the healthspan and

“…Furthermore, the elderly population is often associated with increased social isolation and withdrawal, which can be considered a significant social problem (Datta et al 2019 ; Quinn 2021 ). Changes and declines in biological aspects (such as chronic illnesses) and social aspects (such as ageism and loneliness) can trigger mental health problems among the elderly population (Pramesona & Taneepanichskul 2018 ; Ribeiro-Gonçalves, Costa & Leal 2023 ).…”

Background The ageing population in Indonesia is increasing. However, biological and social changes and declines may trigger mental health problems among the elderly. Existing data show that the prevalence of mental health problems (depression) among the elderly in Indonesia is above 15%. Aim This study aims to investigate the relationship between the Majelis Zikir (dhikr assembly) and the mental health of the elderly. Setting The research was conducted in Aceh Barat District, Aceh Province, Indonesia. Methods This study uses a retrospective cohort design. The study sample consists of individuals aged 60 years or older. The total sample size was 114 (57 exposed and 57 unexposed groups). The research instrument was in the form of a questionnaire. Results The respondents had an average age of 67.61 years, with more females (63.2%), more educated (67.5%), more unemployed (71.1%) and 61.4% felt that their income was sufficient. The analysis showed that the relative risk value of members of the dhikr assembly was 1.857 (95% CI: 1.266–2.724) and showed a significant relationship between the dhikr assembly and mental health. Conclusion Dhikr, as one of the forms of religious activities in Islam, has a positive role in older people’s mental health. Elderly members of the dhikr assembly are likelier to achieve better mental health. Contribution The findings in this study can assist healthcare professionals and policymakers in their efforts to maintain and improve the mental health of the elderly through dhikr.
