Yaşlı istismarı ve ihmali de bütün dünyada tartışılan önemli bir sosyal sorundur. Yaşlı istismarı ve ihmalinin önlenmesinde istismarın ve ihmalin belirtilerini ve risk gruplarını bilmek önemlidir. 1 1 Yaşlıların Yaşam Tarzları ve Yakın Çevreleriyle Olan İlişkileri Ö ÖZ ZE ET T A Am ma aç ç: : Yaşlılık döneminde karşılaşılan istismar ve ihmal dünyada ve Türkiye'de giderek artan bir problem oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, yaşlı nüfusun aile ve yakın çevresi ile olan ilişkilerini, yaşam koşullarını ve bunların çeşitli faktörlerle ilişkisini değerlendirerek mevcut bilgilere katkıda bulunmak amaçlanmıştır. G Ge er re eç ç v ve e Y Yö ön nt te em ml le er r: : Bu çalışmada kullanılan veriler 907 denek üzerinde yapılan Kayseri Elderly Health Study (KEHES) çalışmasından çıkarılmıştır. Orijinal KEHES çalışmasında yer alan 535 yaşlıdan elde edilen veriler, SPSS Windows versiyon 15.0 kullanılarak analiz edildi. Gruplar arası karşılaştırmada Pearson ki-kare testi kullanıldı. p<0,05 değeri istatistiksel olarak anlamlı kabul edildi. B Bu ul lg gu ul la ar r: : Çalışmaya dâhil edilen 535 yaşlının %58,5'i erkek, %76,4'ü evli ve %60,7'si emekli idi. Yaşlı bireylerin %22,4'ü okuryazar değildi, %53,7'si orta gelir seviyesinde idi. Ev hanımı olanlarda aileye yük olma düşüncesi emekli olanlara göre anlamlı derecede yüksekti. Okuryazar olanlarda aileye yük olma ile aile içinde ve dışında duygusal gerginlik yaşama durumu diğer eğitim düzeyindekilere göre anlamlı derecede yüksek idi. Aileye yük olma düşüncesi kadınlarda erkeklere oranla anlamlı derecede yüksekti. Hipertansiyonu olan bireylerde aile içinde fiziksel gerginlik yaşama durumu ve aileye yük olma düşüncesi anlamlı derecede yüksekti. S So on nu uç ç: : Cinsiyet, eğitim düzeyi ve eşlik eden kronik durumlar istismar ve ihmal riskinin yanı sıra yaşlı bireylerin aileleri ve yakın çevreleri ile ilişkiler üzerinde de etkiye sahiptir. A An na ah ht ta ar r K Ke el li im me el le er r: : Yaşam tarzı; aile ilişkileri; yaşlı istismarı; yaşlı; stres, psikolojik A AB BS ST TR RA AC CT T O Ob bj je ec ct ti iv ve e: : Abuse and neglect at old age are increasing problems in Turkey and worldwide. Here, we aimed to contribute available data by assessing relationships of elder individuals with their family and neighborhood and living conditions, and their correlations with several factors. M Ma at te er ri ia al l a an nd d M Me et th ho od ds s: : The data used in the present study were extracted from "Kayseri Elderly Health Study (KEHES)" conducted on 907 subjects. In the present study, data obtained from 535 cases in the original KEHES study were analyzed. SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) for Windows version 15.0 was used to analyze data collected. Pearson chi-square test was used for comparisons among groups. p<0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. R Re es su ul lt t: : Of 535 subjects included, 58.5% were men and 76.4% were married. Of study population, 60.7% were retired and 22.4% were illiterate. Income level was moderate in 53.7% of the subjects. The idea of being burden to family and experiencing emotional stress within family and at social environment were significantly more common among illiterate individuals than those with other education levels. The idea of being burden to family was significantly more common among women than men. Experience of physical stress within family and idea of living in nursing home were significantly more common among patients with hypertension. C Co on nc cl lu us si io on n: : Gender, education level and comorbid chronic conditions have influence on risk for abuse and neglect as well as relationship of elder individuals with family and neighborhood.

We aimed to detect the prevalence of CImp and related risk factors in community-dwelling elders living in an urban area (Kayseri, Turkey). : This is a cross-sectional, population-based study conducted in a sample of 900 community-dwelling elders aged 60 years and older. Cognitive status and depressive symptoms were assessed by standardized Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), respectively. The mean age of the participants was 71.6 ± 0.18 years, of whom 47.9% were female. Prevalences of CImp and depressive symptoms were 26.1% and 24.9%, respectively. Female sex, illiteracy, low income, increased age, being a housewife, being a nonsmoker, being depressive, being single, and having more than four children were significantly related with CImp based on univariate logistic regression analysis. However, in multivariate logistic regression analysis, it was found that being illiterate, being depressive, and having an increased number of children were determinants of CImp in the elderly. Self-reported chronic diseases were not detected as risk factors for CImp.

However, which anthropometric, metabolic, and inflammatory variables could regulate circulating TNF-α levels in humans is not fully understood. In this study, we examined the independent determinants of serum TNF-α levels in a Japanese general population. Hypothesis: Anthropometric, metabolic , and inflammatory variables could regulate TNF-α. Methods: A total of 213 Japanese subjects underwent a complete history, physical examination, and determination of blood chemistries, including TNF-α levels. Univariate and multivariate analyses were applied for the determinants of TNF-α levels. Results: The average TNF-α levels were 13.4±0.81 pg/ml in males and 13.9±4.5 pg/ml in females, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that TNF-α levels were associated with age (P = 0.007), body mass index (P = 0.034), waist circumference (P< 0.001), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C; inversely, P<0.001), triglycerides (P<0.001), creatinine (P<0.001), uric acids (P<0.001), insulin (P = 0.008), homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR; P = 0.015), high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP; P<0.001), and fibrinogen (P = 0.009). By the use of multiple stepwise regression analyses, HDL-C (inversely, P<0.001) and hs-CRP (P<0.001) remained significant and were independently related to TNF-α levels (R 2 = 0.153). Conclusions: The present study is the first demonstration that besides hs-CRP, a decreased HDL-C level is an independent determinant of circulating TNF-α in the Japanese general population. Elevation of TNF-α may partly explain the increased risk of cardiovascular events in patients with low HDL-C levels.

Koriste se u kozmetici kao medicinski suplementi i lekovi. Neke osobine čine ih podobnim za upotrebu kao fitoterapeutici: dostupne su, jeftine, a i ustaljeno je mišljenje da su prirodne i bezbedne. Iako konvencionalni lekovi imaju pouzdanu naučnu osnovu i široku primenu, ima i zemalja, različite socioekonomske razvijenosti, u kojima je upotreba biljnih lekova zakonom regulisana. Upotreba tradicionalnih alternativnih metoda ili lekova zastupljena je u lečenju i akutnih i hroničnih bolesti (trećina akutnih i dve trećine hroničnih oboljenja). Osim toga, jedna trećina ljudi koji koriste biljne preparate ne obaveštavaju svoje lekare o tome. Fitoterapeutici su najzastupljeniji metod alternativne medicine. Ako se sekundarni metaboliti biljaka-fenoli, polifenoli, tanini i flavonoidi, glikozidi, terpeni, triterpenoidi i saponini, esencijalna ulja i smole, fiksna ulja i alkamidi, polisaharidi, alkaloidi koriste u određenoj dozi, određeno vreme, kako bi sprečili izvesne metaboličke procese, može sereći da ovaj proces odgovara onom u konvencionalnoj medicinskoj praksi. S druge strane, biljke se često koriste kao lekovi u alternativnoj medicini, u skladu sa teorijom humoralne patologije. Bio je to konvencionalni medicinski metod do 18. veka. Ipak ne možemo opisati ovaj proces kao konvecionalni medicinski metod jer se fitohemikalije koriste kako bi sprečile neke metaboličke procese i rebalansirao humoralni poremećaj, a neki od njih mogu popraviti poremećaj koji je doveo do bolesti. Ključne reči: fitoterapija, tradicionalna alternativna medicina, konvencionalna medicina, sekundarni metaboliti.

Since the start of outbreak Turkey in 10th of March 2020 ministry of health announced the figures about the number of performed tests, number of confirmed cases, number deaths related to outbreak, number of patients in intensive care units and intubated, and number of healed patients. We used regression analysis curve estimation method to predict the probable end point of outbreak. Cubic regression estimation was calculated as the most appropriate method of estimation (R2: 0.978). Finally future prediction of the SARS-CoV-2 infection course is determined as minimum of 90 days according to the observed data up to date. The decrease in the number of individuals in intensive care unit or intubated may be ten to twenty days later after the decrease or disappearance of confirmed cases.Sars-Cov-2 pandemisi çoğu ülkede zirve enfeksiyon seviyesine erişti.

A cross-sectional study was conducted from August 2013 to December 2013 with 905 individuals, representative of the aged population ≥ 60 years in community-dwelling elderly. Self-reported sleep duration was classified as short sleep duration (≤ 6 h), middle sleep duration (6.1-8.9 h), and long sleep duration (≥ 9 h). Frailty was assessed according to the FRAIL scale (FRAIL: Fatigue, Resistance, Ambulation, Illness, Low weight).The study included 905 community-dwelling older adults (447 male and 458 female). The median (25p-75p) age of the study population was 71.0 years (67.0-75.0) (range 60-92 years). The number of patients according to the short, middle, and long sleep durations were 120 (13.3%), 341 (37.7%), and 433 (47.8%), respectively. The median duration of sleep time in the total study population was 8.5 (7.0-10.0) h. According to frailty status, the percent of robust subjects was higher in the group with mid sleep duration than the other two groups (p = 0.020). Short sleep duration was associated with frailty in the female gender in both the unadjusted model (OR 2.80, 95% CI 1.42-5.52) and the fully adjusted model (OR 3.42, 95% CI 1.50-7.77). Short sleep duration is independently associated with frailty in community-dwelling Turkish female older adults, thus frailty prevention interventions should consider sleep duration in females.
