New technologies can help older persons age in place and support their caregivers. However, they need to be accepted by the end-users to do so. Technology acceptance models, such as TAM and UTAUT and their extensions, use factors like performance expectancy and effort expectancy to explain acceptance.

The causal relationship between sleep disturbances and the risk of frailty: a two-sample Mendelian randomization study European Journal of Ageing (IF 3.721) Pub Date : 2024-03-19 Zong-Xiao Lu, Ni Sang, Rong-Chao Liu, Bo-Han Li, Meng-Yao Zhang, Ming-Hui Zhang, Meng-Cheng Cheng, Guo-Cui Wu
Objective Adequate sleep is closely related to people's health. However, with increasing age, the quality of sleep worsens. At the same time, among elderly individuals, frailty is also a disturbing factor, which makes elderly individuals more vulnerable to negative factors. To explore the relationship between the two, we conducted this study. Methods In this paper, independent genetic variations related

We analysed whether care time, burden and range of caregiving tasks were associated with informal caregivers’ subjective views of ageing (measured as attitudes towards own age (ATOA), subjective age (SA), and onset of old age (OOA)), and whether these associations differed as a function of the caregivers’ age and gender. Adjusted cluster-robust fixed effects regression analyses were conducted with

Multimorbidity patterns and disability and healthcare use in Europe: do the associations change with the regional socioeconomic status? European Journal of Ageing (IF 3.721) Pub Date : 2024-01-03
Abstract Multimorbidity, the concurrence of several chronic conditions, is a rising concern that increases the years lived with disability and poses a burden on healthcare systems. Little is known on how it interacts with socioeconomic deprivation, previously associated with poor health-related outcomes. We aimed to characterize the association between multimorbidity and these outcomes and how this

Anxiety sensitivity is a transdiagnostic risk factor for internalizing psychopathology in children and adults.

However, to date, no studies have specifically examined the factor structure of the Anxiety Sensitivity Index-3 in older adults. The purpose of the current study
