Pre-2000, most older people in #China depended on informal #care from adult children, yet recently #intergenerational contact and support is decreasing - what are the impacts and #policy implications of such changes?

#ActivityRecognition #research: I am looking for an outlet (peer reviewed) for a #tutorial paper on collecting #multimodal #data with #wearables and #IoT in #nursing homes. We learnt a lot in our pilot study in a #dementia #care ward and want to share our insights/mistakes with a broader audience (#Nursing, #Physiotherapy, #Psychology, #Neurology, #Gerontology) Anyone with a tip for an outlet that accepts a collection of practical considerations for collecting #realWorldData?

Hi! Time for my (new) formal #Introduction - #Intro in #Mastodon

My name is Matteo

I post on #Medicine, #PublicHealth, #Ageing (or #Aging), #Frailty, #Care... But also on #Roma (where I am from) and #ASRoma (my favourite/only #football team)

An elderly relative has dementia.
In the early stages now.
They are exercising.

I see research showing that exercise and muscular strength is protective of cognition / memory.

I'm wondering about the effects of a " near maximal capacity" exercise program.

Can anyone point me at research on or directly relevant to this?

Maybe this has differences to a program in which not "blowing up" the athelete is top priority?

What's the limit of human life expectancy? Researchers tackle this question in a study in Nature Aging, noting the slowdown in the rate of increase since 1990.

D.Jdanov & D.Jasilionis @MPIDR provide a more hopeful commentary in the same journal.
