Development and Testing of an Exergaming and Artmaking Program to Enhance Cognitive and Physical Function in Older Adults: Results of a Community-Based Pilot Study

A novel community-based recreation program that brings these activities together while encouraging socialization will promote participation and foster social support, while improving functions essential to successful aging. We established a collaboration with the Buffalo-Niagara YMCA to leverage the expertise and commitment of this community organization with demonstrated successes in serving the needs of older adults.

Exploring Technology Supporting Aging-in-Place Using an Equity Lens Through Focus Groups and World Café–Informed Research Agenda: Qualitative Study

Exploring Technology Supporting Aging-in-Place Using an Equity Lens Through Focus Groups and World Café–Informed Research Agenda: Qualitative Study

The SEM was selected because it suggests that behavior is integrated into a dynamic network of intrapersonal characteristics, interpersonal processes, and institutional, community, and public policy factors [37]. Using the SEM also allows for identifying specific drivers of technology use or disuse among community members. Handwritten notes were transcribed and consolidated into a Microsoft Word document. In the coding process, we included examples for each of the factors.

Peer Review of “Assessment of SARC-F Sensitivity for Probable Sarcopenia Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults: Cross-Sectional Questionnaire Study”

Peer Review of “Assessment of SARC-F Sensitivity for Probable Sarcopenia Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults: Cross-Sectional Questionnaire Study”

This is a peer-review report for “Assessment of SARC-F Sensitivity for Probable Sarcopenia Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults: Cross-Sectional Questionnaire Study.” This paper [1] conducted a validation to derive a cutoff value that predicted low grip strength from SARC-F (strength, assistance with walking, rising from a chair, climbing stairs, and falls) scores and showed that the cutoff for SARC-F scores is 2 points. Many issues need to be resolved before this study can be published.

Assessment of SARC-F Sensitivity for Probable Sarcopenia Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults: Cross-Sectional Questionnaire Study

Assessment of SARC-F Sensitivity for Probable Sarcopenia Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults: Cross-Sectional Questionnaire Study

A total of 204 community-dwelling older adults (ie, 87 female and 117 males) 65 years or older were screened during their regularly scheduled physician visits. Participants completed a SARC-F questionnaire and a grip strength assessment. Participant demographic data including age, gender, and BMI were recorded.

Peer Review of “Assessment of SARC-F Sensitivity for Probable Sarcopenia Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults: Cross-Sectional Questionnaire Study”

This is the peer-review report for “Assessment of SARC-F Sensitivity for Probable Sarcopenia Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults: Cross-Sectional Questionnaire Study.” The authors [1] present an intriguing and clinically valuable finding through their receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, suggesting that a SARC-F (strength, assistance with walking, rising from a chair, climbing stairs, and falls) score of ≥2 may serve as a new cutoff value for screening probable sarcopenia.

Community-Based Intelligent Blood Glucose Management for Older Adults With Type 2 Diabetes Based on the Health Belief Model: Randomized Controlled Trial

Community-Based Intelligent Blood Glucose Management for Older Adults With Type 2 Diabetes Based on the Health Belief Model: Randomized Controlled Trial

To date, there is a notable lack of directly applicable clinical trial data on telemedicine interventions for community-dwelling older adults with T2 D. To provide clinical evidence to inform treatment recommendations for community-dwelling older adults, we conducted a randomized controlled trial of a telemedicine intervention among this group with T2 D.

Similar motivations were documented among Thailand’s transgender entertainers [4]. The Health Needs and Aesthetic Preferences Assessment of the Hyderabad Trans Community is a large study evaluating the social and health history of transgender and hijra women in India (N=300).
