GENERAL INFORMATION
Welcome Message
Geriatric medicine has focused primarily on the management of acute and chronic diseases in frail older persons, whilst recently much more
emphasis is given on the promotion of health and the prevention of age - related diseases.
Nowadays, a growing body of knowledge about disease prevention in later life, including important research, provides a valid basis for
strengthening efforts in preventive geriatrics.
The goal of preventive geriatrics is to nurture a state of somatic, mental and psychological health that allows maximal active life expectancy
while maintaining high levels of function.
The prevention of falls and osteoporosis can improve the patient’s health and longevity. Addressing malnutrition can promote healing and
vitalize the patient to participate in a formal rehabilitation program. Physical activities have a major contribution in better aging by acting in a
holistic way in the aging process.
Rehabilitation of geriatric patients is imperative for the patients’ well - being and for society, so that we can thrive socially and economically.
This 2 day Seminar, titled “Physical Activities, Nutrition and Quality of Aging” is planned to bring together all those concerned with aging and
interested in improving the care of the growing numbers of older adults in our communities, e .g physicians, nurses, occupational therapists,
physical therapists, and all professionals addressing the geriatric population.
The sessions, led by experts who have experience locally and internationally, will provide an environment for the interdisciplinary team to build
on requisite competencies as they provide care in all settings, to disseminate knowledge and to gain knowledge to utilize in practice.
Participants will thus have the opportunity to exchange ideas and promote their work, as well as to enrich their knowledge with results from
ongoing important research presented.
On behalf of the two Societies involved as well as of the Organising and Scientific Committee, we welcome you to the 4th International
Seminar on Preventive Geriatrics and 1st International Seminar on Geriatric Rehabilitation.
We hope each delegate leaves the Seminar not only more knowledgeable or proficient in the issues pertaining to geriatric care, but also goes
back home transformed when he or she sees his or her next elderly patient.

«ΔΥΣΦΑΓΙΑ ΣΕ ΑΣΘΕΝΕΙΣ ΜΕ ΤΡΑΧΕΙΟΣΩΛΗΝΑ»
Μέσα από την πολυετή εμπειρία μας, δουλεύοντας ως ομάδα με ασθενείς που πάσχουν από
δυσφαγία, νιώθουμε την ανάγκη να εστιάσουμε στη μικρή υποομάδα από αυτούς που φέρουν και
τραχειοστομία. Ο κύριος λόγος είναι ότι οι ασθενείς αυτοί έχουν ανάγκη από ιδιαίτερη προσέγγιση
και φροντίδα, συντονισμένη από διεπιστημονική ομάδα. Στόχοι αυτού του σεμιναρίου είναι:
• Η ολοκληρωμένη θεωρητική κατάρτιση αναφορικά με την αξιολόγηση και αντιμετώπιση του
ασθενούς με δυσφαγία και τραχειοστομία, καθώς και με τα διαφορετικά είδη των τραχειοσωλήνων.
• Εξοικείωση των συμμετεχόντων σε όλα τα στάδια αξιολόγησης και παρέμβασης και πρακτική
εξάσκηση σε προπλάσματα όλων των τεχνικών αλλαγής του τραχειοσωλήνα και αναρρόφησης.

Sarcopenic Obesity
Mauro ZAMBONI
With aging body composition changes with increase in fat mass and
decrease in muscle mass. Further, older subjects, even if stable weight across
ages, show higher amount of fat and lower amount of muscle mass than
when they were younger. In developed Countries the majority of people gain
weight with aging. Thus the prevalence of obesity increased even in old
ages in the last decades; some of these obese old subjects are characterized
by high level of fat and low level of muscle mass: therefore they have been
recently defined Sarcopenic-obese. Sarcopenic-obesity was first defined as
Abstracts
Among the multiple factors that contribute to the development of
sarcopenia, physical inactivity has been widely reported to be an important
risk factor. In treatment for sarcopenia, physical activity and particularly
resistance training is actually the most relevant treatment for improving
muscle strength, mass and power but also to slow down if not prevent the
muscle mass and muscle strength decline throughout lifetimes. Sarcopenia
is an important risk factor for falls. This has led to the develop exercise
programs to reduce the risk of falling by maximizing muscle function in
older people. Strong evidences in several studies indicate that resistance
training such as weight lifting increases myofibrillar muscle protein
synthesis, muscle mass and strength even in the frail elderly. Strength
gains result from a combination of improved muscle mass and quality and
neuronal adaptation (innervations, activation pattern). However, the same
exercise intensity results in a lower myofibrillar synthesis response in older
subjects than in young ones. Clinical researches demonstrate that resistance
training result in an improvement of the neuromuscular system without
an increase in muscle mass. The American Heart Association council
recommended 1 set of 10 to 15 repetitions for older people. The resistance
training should be performed 2 to 3 times a week with 8 to 10 different
exercises each time. Aerobic training may also slow down the process
of sarcopenia. No pharmacological or behavioral intervention to reverse
sarcopenia has proven to be as efficacious as resistance training. However,
only 12% of the United-States elderly population performs strength training
at least twice a week.
Literature data. Long-term aerobic exercise improves cognition in both
human -Normal older persons and Dementia- and nonhuman animals and
induces plastic changes in the central nervous system (CNS), including
neurogenesis and angiogenesis. Additionally, fitness correlates with brain
volume in persons who are cognitively normal and those with Alzheimer’s
disease. Mechanisms of action: There is a study which supports that
CNS neuronal apoptosis is a consequence of exercise in the adult rat and
suggests that this process is a potential mediator of rapid exercise-induced
plasticity. There is also a reticular-activating hypofrontality (RAH) model of
acute exercise which suggests that exercise engages arousal mechanisms in
the reticular-activating system, which involves a number of neurotransmitter
systems. Exercise, also, disengages the higher-order functions of the
prefrontal cortex. Our studies: Our data support that structured Cognitive
Motion Therapy improved cognitive and ADL performances in MCI patients
after 6 months, while control patients with MCI remained stable. Patients
with AD remain stable for more than six months. However, the early and
immediate effects of exercise on the CNS have not been adequately explored
and more prospective studies are needed to prove the neuroprotective effects
of physical exercise. Such a program is the Long Lasting Memories which is
European project.
relative skeletal muscle index (muscle mass adjusted by squared height) less
than 2 SD below the sex-specific mean of a young reference group, and
percent body fat greater than the median value for each sex group (27% of
body fat in men and 38% of body fat in women, corresponding to a BMI
of approximately 27 kg/m2). Alternative definition of Sarcopenic-obesity has
been also suggested.
The prevalence of Sarcopenic-obesity increases with age in each sex, from
13.5% in men younger than 70 years to 17.5% in those older than 80 years
and from 5.3% in women younger than 70 years to 8.4% in those older than
80 years.
Cross-sectional as well as longitudinal studies show that subjects classified
as sarcopenic-obese show significantly higher prevalence of physical
impairment and disability, as well as higher prevalence of metabolic
syndrome.

How to evaluate malnutrition in the elderly?
Agathe RAYNAUD-SIMON
The prevalence of malnutrition is about 4 - 10 % in independently
living elderly, 15 - 38 % in nursing homes and 30-70 % in the hospital.
Malnutrition leads to an increased risk of infections, gait disorders and
falls, fractures, pressure sores, postoperative complications, disability
and death. Thus, screening for malnutrition and a correct evaluation of
nutritional status is mandatory in the elderly.
Screening for malnutrition needs to look for clinical situations that are
associated to malnutrition, such as chronic or acute diseases, disability,
dementia, depression… and many others. Appetite and food intake must
be assessed. Regular weight measurement will allow to detect weight loss,
and calculation of BMI. The Mini Nutritional Assessment® (MNA) may be
used to screen for malnutrition, and a shorter version of the MNA® is now
proposed.
Many definitions, tools and thresholds for the diagnosis of malnutrition are
being used all over the world. The French Health Authorities have proposed
the following criteria for the diagnosis of malnutrition in subjects aged 70
and over:
- Weight loss ≥ 5 % in 1 month or ≥ 10% in 6 months.
- BMI ≤ 21
- Albuminemia < 35 g/l
- MNA < 17
These criteria will allow to diagnose and then to treat malnutrition in
clinical settings. However, an evaluation of body composition (muscle
mass, fat mass) would give better insight of functional and metabolic
consequences of malnutrition. Bioelectrical impedance and absorptiometry
are not of routine use but will contribute to a better evaluation of
consequences of malnutrition and efficacy of renutrition in clinical research.

On-going and future clinical trials on sarcopenia may radically change
our preventive and therapeutic approaches of mobility disability in older
people. Irwin Rosenberg defined sarcopenia in 1989 to describe a recognized
age-related decline in muscle mass among the elderly. Since 1989, various
definitions of sarcopenia have evolved as our understanding of the aging
process and the changes that occur therein progress along with improved
body composition measurement techniques and the availability of large
representative data sets. However, despite increasing knowledge and
improved technology, a worldwide operational definition of sarcopenia
applicable across racial/ethnic groups and populations lacks consensus. This
results in inconsistencies in the literature and paucity of clinical trials of
interventions which primarily target sarcopenia.
Currently, the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in older people
(EWGSOP), the International Academy of Nutrition and Aging (IANA),
and the International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics-European
Region [IAGG-ER] recommend using the presence of both low muscle
mass and low muscle function (strength or physical performance) for the
diagnosis of sarcopenia.

How to assess the (fracture) risk for primary osteoporosis?

Given the close interaction between osteoporosis and falls, prevention of
fractures in a geriatric population should be based on factors related to bone
strength and risk factors for falls. Pharmacologic therapy should be added
Abstracts
Age-related bone loss is associated with progressive changes in bone
remodeling characterizedby decreased bone formation relative to bone
resorption. Both trabecular and periosteal bone formation decline with
age in both sexes, which contributes to bone fragility and increased risk
of fractures. Studies in rodents and humans revealed that, independent
of sex hormone deficiency,the age-related decline in bone formation is
characterized by decreased osteoblast numberand lifespan and reduced boneforming capacity of individual osteoblasts. An important clinical question
is to identify the mechanisms involved in the age-related defective bone
formation.
There have been considerable advances in our understanding of the
pathogenesis of bone loss and osteoporosis in women and in men.
Thus, a better understanding of estrogen and androgen signaling in bone
has set the stage for the development of selective estrogen and androgen
receptor modulators to prevent and treat osteoporosis. Identification of the
role of increased RANKL production in the setting of estrogen deficiency
has provided a basis for blocking this pathway as a new approach to
potently inhibiting bone resorption. The key role of Wnt signaling in bone
metabolism and possibly in age-related bone loss has led to the development
of specific activators of this pathway in treating osteoporosis.
The role of SIRTUIN -1 (SIRT-1) in skeletal aging may also lead to new
compounds regulating this pathway as a means to both stimulate bone
formation and inhibit bone resorption. As these examples illustrate, the
collective basic and translational effort to understand the pathogenesis
of osteoporosis has formed a firm foundation on which to build various
therapeutic strategies to prevent and cure this important public health
problem.
the hip, the shoulder, and the wrist. Therefore, the assessment of primary age-related - osteoporosis is seen equal to the assessment of the impeding
fracture risk.
The DXA-test for bone mineral density is not sufficient to properly assess
the (fracture) risk of osteoporosis. Also from an economical point of view, it
is unrealistic to offer a DXA-test to everybody.
This has led to a two step approach. In the first step, assessment for fracture
risk is solely based on gender, age and clinical risk factors. Only when the
calculated fracture risk in this pre-assessment exceeds a certain degree it
triggers a DXA-test as second step.
Most attention in this field has been given to the so-called FRAX-algorithm
which stands for “WHO fracture risk assessment tool”. FRAX can be
downloaded as freeware under http://www.shef.ac.uk./FRAX and includes
the following clinical risk factors: (i.) BMI (the lower the higher the risk
of fracture), (ii.) history of previous low energy fractures, (iii.) history of
a parent hip fracture, (iv.) current smoking, (v.) alcohol consumption, (vi.)
use of oral glucocorticoids, (vii.) history of rheumatoid arthritis as well
as (viii.) a catalogue of other risk factors which might aggravate primary
osteoporosis.
The individual clinical information together with the individual results
of the DXA-test is then compared and adjusted with the population-based
data-set of the FRAX-tool. This computer-based approach then allows the
calculation of the individual 10-year risk of a major osteoporotic fracture
(see above) or exclusively of the 10-year risk of hip fracture.
A 10-year probability of a major osteoporotic fracture between 20 and 30%
and a specific 10-year risk of hip fracture of 3 % should lead to a treatment
by antiosteoporotic drugs (e.g. bisphosphonates). However, these threshold
levels are primarily driven by public health care considerations and not by
the individualized care of the patient.
for those at high risk of fracture and vitamin D / calcium supplementation
is essential in all prevention strategies. The strongest single risk factor
for fracture is falling and not osteoporosis, meaning that the focus of
rehabilitation in elderly subjects with osteoporosis and/or fractures should
be to prevent falls. Based on published evidence in elderly communitydwelling and hospitalized subjects falls can be prevented, regardless of the
type of intervention.
Exercise in Osteoporosis

Aging with central and periferal nervous system trauma, diseases and
degenerative muscle diseases nowdays is the rule and not the exception.
People who are living and aging with these underlying medical conditions
often experience pain secondary to their physical impairment that may
worsen over time, resulting in increased disability and decreased quality
of life. The frequency and severity of persistent pain, can be expected to
increase because of the reduced biologic, psycological, and social reserves
associated with aging. A broad array of biological and psycosocial factors
may contribute to the development and the impact of pain, including
general medical status, underlying pathophysiological meccanism, emotional
and psycosocial factors, intrinsic and personal characteristics, and
interactions with the broader physical and social environment. The rates
of persistent pain varies between different studies for the same condition
generally being higher than the ablebodied aged adults. Efforts are made
to standardized pain assesments in physically impaired populations under
the recommendations of the IMMPACT group. Treatment strategies in the
elderly population is always a challenge, because of polipharmacy and other
conditions that can interact with the traetment plan.
Fatigue in the elderly population
Evangelos MANAOS
Fatigue is defined as a subjective lack of physical and/ or mental energy
that is perceived by the individual or caregiver to interfere with usual or
desired activities. Despite the fact that this “lack of energy” is believed to
be a common complaint among elderly population, in multiple studies of
self-reported fatigue older adults report fatigue less often than their younger
counterparts. This strange finding can be explained if the activity level in
which the fatigue occurs is taken into consideration. Thus, a new term
called “fatigability” is used as a phenotype characterized by the relationship
between self-reported fatigue and the level of activity with which the

Osteoporosis is a disease that is progressive and if unchecked can cause
severe disability.
In patients with physical disabilities: inactivity, can be especially
harmful because of a propensity for further deterioration with aging and
concomitant healthy problems.
The PASIPD questionnaire: (Physical Activity Scale for Individuals with
Physical Disabilities) can be useful in assessing levels of activity in the
persons with disability, such as home maintenance function, moderate and
vigorous sport and recreational activities, occupation and transportation.

increasing strength and aerobic capacity is an essential component of both

fatigue is associated. Measurement of fatigability may be done by self-report
measures of fatigue combined with objectively measured activity. This allows
meaningful and objective comparisons between studies. There is a variety
of potential mechanisms of increased fatigability with aging including agerelated alterations in energy production or utilization, functional disabilities
that decrease efficiency and inflammatory processes. Many clinical studies
have reported on attempts to decrease fatigue in older adults through a
variety of pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic interventions even if they
did not focus on increased fatigability. Fatigue may be a symptom that can
serve as a physiologic warning signal and additionally in older adults with
multiple conditions increased fatigability may reflect greater underlying
disease burden. Consequently, a shifting of the focus of attention to
fatigability may benefit our interventions for improving both symptoms and
function of the tired elderly population.

Principles of Geriatric Rehabilitation
Alexandros PAPADEAS
The aging of our population is an undoubted fact. Due to this, it has
become imperative to maximize and maintain the function of all patients in
order to preserve quality of life and decrease healthcare costs. With timely
intervention, the rehabilitation team can help restore function close to preinsult, pre-morbid functional level and attempt to preserve the functional
level for the remainder of the patient’s life span. This restoration of function
should help reduce the total healthcare cost.
Geriatric Rehabilitation can be defined as medical treatment plus
prevention, restoration plus accommodation, and education. The
accommodation is to irreversible effects of normal and pathological aging
and requires an associated education of the patient and his or her family.
The rehabilitation team can teach new ways to accomplish the functional
tasks that can no longer be executed as previously because of the effects of
aging. The team can teach these techniques to the patient or educate the
family, depending on the patient’s ability to learn.
A second component of geriatric rehabilitation is the prevention of disability
and the restoration of function. Many impairments combine reversible and
irreversible components. Therapeutic exercise, for example, can be used to
prevent or reserve the effects of disuse caused by inactivity or injury. The
preventive concept should be broadened to include all geriatric patients by
remembering the “use it or lose it” concept.
Medical treatment of impairment is the third integral part of geriatric
rehabilitation. Treatment is needed to cure when possible, or at least
to stabilize the disease process when cure is not possible. Many of the
impairments of the elderly are chronic and incurable but manageable, thus
Abstracts
Individuals with disabilities access health care in a variety of ways
depending on health care system, causing disease or disease phase, finances
or even geography or cultural differences. Also, as one ages, the systems
of care needed may change. Systems of care for disabled elderly are vast,
ranging from inpatient facilities to outpatient programs and home programs.
Recent advances in technology allow us to reach patients in their homes
through telemedicine. Support services within the community are growing,
and case managers are becoming more necessary as it becomes more
difficult to navigate the health care system. Providers of rehabilitative
services must help patients find the most appropriate setting to receive care
and advocate for patients and caretakers.
Nowadays, there is a trend the focus of care to shift from inpatient to
outpatient care and to home services. Additionally, there has been a shift in
focus from achieving short-term functional performance goals in a therapy
gym or inpatient rehabilitation unit to setting and achieving long-term
functional goals at home (for instrumental activities of daily life), including
goals addressing quality of life.
Significant research questions remain, and health care policy requires
development. As the population ages and the disabled elderly population
becomes a focus of fiscal experts, there must be an emphasis on providing
the most cost-effective yet functionally productive health care. We must
work to promote the strengths of the elderly population by addressing
preventative strategies while maintaining as long as possible functional
independence.

In this presentation we will discuss about the factors, either age or diseaserelated, that may affect the rehabilitation plan. We will also discuss

Pressure ulcers and nutritional support
(prevention and treatment)
Patrice QUENEAU
George C. SPATHARAKIS
Definition of Iatrogenesis: Any disease or adverse event caused by a medical
intervention within the health care system. The term does not prejudge in
any way an error, fault or negligence: some risks are unavoidable, others
not. In Geriatrics, the mere decision to hospitalize can lead to undue loss
of autonomy. The drug-induced iatrogenesis my be related to the adverse
effects without therapeutic misuse, or with therapeutic misuse. This “misuse”
is caused by by the physician and by extension, other caregivers (notably the
pharmacist or the nurse) or the patient himself, through inappropriate selfmedication or poor compliance with treatment.
Oral anticoagulants, NSAIDs, aminoglycosides, corticosteroids, opiates,
antihypertensives and antipsychotics are the most frequent used drugs in the
elderly and the drugs that give the most important iatrogenic problems.
The adverse effects of drugs in the elderly are: More frequent from 3 to 20
% and are involved in 5 to 10 % of hospitalizations
They adverse effects are preventable in part: inadequate dosage,
drug interactions, interactions with diseases –> concept of misuse or
inappropriate prescriptions.
Nutritional problems in the elderly can promote iatrogenesis by several
mechanisms:
- Hypoalbuminemia will cause a decrease in acidic binding (aspirin,
warfarin, phenytoin) leading to a risk of overdosing.
- Increase in fat mass at the expense of muscle mass (1/3 greater at age 75
than at age 30) increase volume of lyphophilic molecules due to a greater
distribution in (fat, adipose) tissue (antidepressant, anaesthetic, CNS) and
decrease volume of hydrophilic molecules (paracetamol, digoxin), resulting
Epidemiological and experimental data have shown that Pressure
Ulcers(PUs) enhance insufficient nutritional state and vice versa.
PUs affect 0.5% of the total population. Their distribution is clustered into
2 groups: a)Younger individuals, mostly neurologically impaired(30%), b)
Geriatric Population(70%). Undernutrition affects 9-47.1% of the elderly
while malnutrition is present in 0.7-3.2% of the geriatric population.
In a prospective study (Thomas, 1996) with high-risk patients,
undernutrition was present in 29% of patients at hospital admission. At
4 weeks, 17% of the undernourished patients had developed a pressure
ulcer, compared to 9% of the non-undernourished patients. In a long-termcare setting (Pinchcofsky-Devin, 1986) 59% of residents were diagnosed as
undernourished on admission. Among these residents, 7.3% were classified
as severely undernourished. Pressure ulcers occurred in 65% of these
severely undernourished residents. No pressure ulcers developed in the mildto-moderately undernourished or well-nourished groups
In a study of survival among residents in long-term care with severe
cognitive impairment, 135 residents were followed for 24 months. The
relative risk of death in the presence of a PU was 1.49 at the onset versus
1.06 after two years.
PUs mediate this effect through a generalized inflammatory response
creating thus the necessity of a nutritional supplementation. This
supplementation should focus on an increased caloric charge, a high protein
content and, possibly, addition of specific nutrients.

Mediterranean diet and longevity
George C. SPATHARAKIS
Although most people believe that the Mediterranean diet is just a unique
one, reality shows that this consists of a series of diets, related to different
cultures and people around the Mediterranean Sea that share common
nutritional characteristics. The first proofs of a beneficial effect of these
diets on the health outcomes came in the early sixties with the “Seven
Countries’ Study” conducted by the American nutritionnist Ancel Keys.
These beneficial effects seem to be related to different biological factors and
pathways, most noticeable of which are: the fall of different inflammation
markers, especially the IL-8, a reduced oxidative stress and increased
Is physical exercise sufficient to prevent sarcopenia?
Cornelius BOLHEIMER
Sarcopenia does not only denote a reduction of (age-related) muscle mass it
also encompassess a compromised muscle strength and a reduced functional
performance.
The anti-sarcopenic potential of resistance training (both strength and
power resistance) has been reviewed by several meta-analyses. Accordingly,
resistance training works in principle but mainly on the components of
muscle mass and muscle strength. Its effect on performance however is
weak.
Other types of exercise (such as aerobic endurance training) and - more
generally speaking - voluntary physical activity do neither contribute to
muscle strength nor to performance.
Nutritional interventions are supposed to support the anti-sarcopenic effects
of resistance training. These encompass the consumption of (i.) protein
above the usual RDA-recommendation, (ii.) adequate amounts of leucine,
(iii.) high-quality protein immediately after exercise, and (iv.) nutritional
supplements such as creatine and hydroxymethylbutyrate.
Whether with or without nutritional support - there is the general problem
that for the majority of all seniors exercise is unfamiliar and too tedious.
Hence, science and pharamceutical companies are looking up for the
“exercise pill” which could replace the unpleasant life-style modifications
and easily prevent sarcopenia. But here we are only at the beginning of the
possibilities...

insulin sensitivity and all these some times although the presence of obesity
and / or a sedentary way of life.
On the nutritional level these findings are mostly correlated to higher
consumption of wholegrain cereals, foods rich in polyunsaturated fatty
acids, and a limited amount of alcohol.
The observed effects of longevity, however, should not only be attributed to
the diet itself but to other concomitants like low smoking habit (smoking
cessation at the advanced age), mid-day naps (siestas), active social and
family life and possibly religion.

Aging with spinal cord injury
Christina-Anastasia RAPIDI
Many factors can influence the biological aging and the decline in organ
system functioning, including genetics and lifestyle factors. A specific
impairment, such as spinal cord injury (SCI), may also influence the rate of
biological aging.
Individuals with long term SCI report new declines in function or increased
disability. Twenty years or more duration of injury, and age ranging from
mid-40s to early 50s, have been identified as common time frames for
functional changes related to aging and SCI.
Abstracts
The demographic expansion of the elderly population, including those over
80 years of age, will be constant over the next forty years. If this segment
of the population represented 3.8% of Europe’s total in 2006, it is expected
to reach 9.5% in 2050, an increase of approximately 130%. Can we fight off
or at least slow down the weakening of the elderly? Can we prolong life
without getting old and weak? Are there interventions that alter the course
of aging? Can we be a centenarian in a good shape?
These questions are at the heart of an intense debate amongst clinicians,
researchers and public authorities alike who face problems of aging on a
collective basis, as well as their medical, social and economic consequences.
Every day we are bombarded by “scientific and medical revolutions” that
boast the miraculous effects of a new diet, a molecule, a new genetic
manipulation or a new method for achieving the objective of youth and
longevity. The fantasy of immortality has always been part of human history
and of the collective imaginary.
Environmental factors and way of life play an important role in the
evolution of aging and the possibility to be centenarian. In this session we
will discuss among others different question concerning:
- Caloric restriction: Luigi Cornaro’s recipe for longevity that made him live
to be 102 back in the 15th century? Fruit-flies, rats, monkeys and humans:
variant effects of surveyed starvation? How not to obese, how not to be a
hungry bore?
- Sexual activity. Is it all about physical activity or there is more to it? The
decrease of libido and how the hormones are not involved? The benefits of
afternoon naps in combination (or not) to sex?
The aging process interacts with the motor disorder in the adult with CP,
increasing the incidence of secondary musculoskeletal or neurological
complications and resulting in deterioration or loss of mobility, chronic
pain, fatigue and decline in functioning and participation.
The natural history of mobility in CP is one of early decline, mostly
due to: muscle weakness and sarcopenia, the effects of spasticity on the
musculoskeletal system, lever-arm disease of the lower limbs, neuromuscular
scoliosis, osteoporosis, early onset of osteoarthritis and pain, spinal stenosis
and spondylisthesis, overuse syndromes. Adults with CP also experience
pain associated with contractures, spasticity, othopaedic deformity, fractures,
pressure from sitting on bony prominencies, fatigue or gastroindestinal
issues.
Despite the lack of systematic, large-scale follow-up studies, it is a common
acknowledgement that about one third of adults with CP experience
modest-to-significant decreases in walking or self-care tasks, partly due
to musculoskeletal issues. Nonetheless, there is a consensus that all these
problems may be lessened or even prevented by early recognition and
intervention.
Specialized care addressing the needs of cerebral palsy adults should
involve an interdisciplinary team of specialists, providing interventions for
rehabilitation but also for disease- or not-related medical issues. What is
also very important is the efficient transition from paediatric to adult care,
as this is now thought to be more of a process of gradual adoption of new
roles, than just a service approach.
There are international differences in outcomes associated with aging
and spinal cord injury. These differences may reflect differences in sociopolitical, health care system and cultural factors. Women report more
often pain, fatigue, and skin problems and more transportation problems.
Men experience more health problems, more diabetes, and more adaptive
equipment changes.
High rates of impaired glucose metabolism are found in persons with SCI
and this fact might help to explain other findings common in SCI, such
as the high rates of fatigue and weight gain. The loss of bone mineral in
persons with SCI, especially women but also in men, is accelerated. This
finding is part of “premature aging”.
The risk factors for the development of cardiovascular disease appear to
occur more often and earlier in life for persons with SCI. The presence of
SCI increases the risk of cardiovascular disease by 16% overall. The risk
increases further for persons with tetraplegia versus paraplegia as well as
for complete versus incomplete lesion.
Aging and duration of SCI influence urological complication rates, and
bladder management method. The long-term planning from the time of
injury is important in order to minimize late complications.
New needs for specially health care services develop as individuals aging
with SCI in order to maintain their health and function and preserve their
independence level in activities of daily living.
Aging in polio
Tonia TATSIDOU
The impact of age on traumatic brain injury
Angeliki GALATA
The number of elderly persons has increased dramatically along with the
number of people with disabilities who are aging. The overall death rate
from traumatic brain injury decreased with advances in long-term medical
care, rehabilitation and social support. However, successful aging is more
than simply living longer. It involves maintaining physical, cognitive and
social functions.
Older individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI) differ from younger
adults with TBI in several ways, including their incidence rates, etiology
of injury, nature of complications, lengths of hospitalization, functional
outcomes and mortality. Despite the greater likelihood of poorer functional
outcomes, older adults with TBI often achieve good functional outcomes
and can live in community settings after receiving appropriate rehabilitation
services, although at higher costs and longer hospitalizations than younger
individuals.
Little is known regarding the long- term impact of TBI on individuals as
they age, but this is an important issue as the population ages. Specific
issues that should be addressed in research include long-term disposition,
causes of mortality many years post TBI, long-term medical complications
Abstracts
Aging in polio is a definition of Post-Polio syndrome (PPS). Although
the number of cases of acute poliomyelitis has decreased, late effects of
poliomyelitis continue to be a source of disability.
PPS is a collection of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular symptoms
occuring several decades after a patient has recovered from the initial
infection with the poliovirus. There are no diagnostic tests to confirm the
diagnosis of PPS. The definition is based on a confirmed history of paralytic
polio, neurologic and functional recovery followed by a period of stability,
the onset of unaccustomed fatigue, new weakness, muscle and joint pain,
functional loss , muscular atrophy and the exclusion of other medical
diagnosis.
Fatigue, both general and muscular, and weakness are the most common
sequelae of polio with aging. Usual findings are musculoskeletal deformities
such as scoliosis, pain, muscular atrophy, increase in fractures due to
osteopenia. The ventilatory limitation and dysphagia are also important. The
cognitive and the psychologic function after polio are affected.
The most accepted theory of the mechanism of PPS is “neural fatigue”. The
normal aging process may also play a role.
An interdisciplinary evaluation is essential.
The use of pharmacologic agents is limited. Management includes careful
strengthening, conservative pain treatment, appropriate assistive devices,
energy conservation measures and pacing of daily activities with frequent
rest periods, referral to a pulmonologist if needed, speech therapy and
attention to psychological issues. It should also include the identification
and treatment of conditions like hyperlipidemia, cardiac risk factors,
osteoporosis.
in institutionalized and community-dwelling individuals and the long-term
impact on families and caregivers of aging individuals with TBI.
As with all aging individuals, those with TBI require routine primary
medical care. After a person sustains TBI, routine preventative care should
be provided in addition to the services required as a result of TBI.

ευπαθείς ηλικιωμένοι παρουσιάζουν αυξημένο κίνδυνο εγκατάστασης
λειτουργικής ανικανότητας, κοινωνικής απομόνωσης και ιδρυματοποίησης.
Συνοψίζοντας όλες εκείνες τις παραμέτρους που εμπλέκονται στην
εγκατάσταση της ευπάθειας, οι Fried και Walston το 1998 παρουσίασαν
ένα μοντέλο στο οποίο νοσολογικοί και μεταβολικοί παράγοντες
σχετιζόμενοι και με την ηλικία αλληλεπιδρούν σε μια δυναμική σχέση
λειτουργικής και ενεργειακής έκπτωσης καθορίζοντας τον βαθμό της
ευπάθειας σε έναν άνθρωπο που γερνά.
Το μοντέλο αυτό ακολούθησε ένας ευρέως διαδεδομένος φαινοτυπικός
προσδιορισμός της ευθραυστότητας από την Fried το 2001 που
περιλαμβάνει παραμέτρους όπως η αναίτια απώλεια βάρους,
το υποκειμενικό συναίσθημα εξάντλησης, τα επίπεδα φυσικής
δραστηριότητας, η ταχύτητα βάδισης (walking speed) και η φυσική
αδυναμία (low grip strength).
Η συμπερίληψη της απώλειας βάρους στα κριτήρια της ευπάθειας είναι
άρρητα συνδεδεμένη με την κοινά αποδεκτή αντίληψη της ευπάθειας
ως ένα σύνδρομο «φθίνουσας πορείας», ή και «φθαρτότητας», με την
σαρκοπενία να αποτελεί μία από τις κυρίαρχες εκφράσεις της . Ωστόσο,
σε ολοένα και περισσότερες μελέτες από την διεθνή βιβλιογραφία
περιγράφεται το θεωρητικό υπόβαθρο στο οποίο η ευπάθεια συνδέεται
και με την παχυσαρκία: Καθώς η παχυσαρκία εκτός των άλλων αποτελεί
προδιαθεσικό παράγοντα και για κατάσταση χαμηλής λειτουργικότητας
με την οποία είναι συνδεδεμένη η ευπάθεια, διαφαίνεται ότι στο μοντέλο
του ευπαθούς ηλικιωμένου, η διατροφή και η άσκηση αποτελούν μείζονες
συνιστώσες.
Μελετώντας τα δεδομένα από το ελληνικό δείγμα της Έρευνας για την
Υγεία, την Γήρανση και την Συνταξιοδότηση στην Ευρώπη (SHARE
Survey), περιγράφεται το προφίλ του ευπαθούς ηλικιωμένου σε σχέση
με διατροφικές παραμέτρους (όπως είναι ο Δείκτης Μάζας Σώματος) και
δίνεται έμφαση στους παράγοντες εκείνους που μπορούν να περιγράψουν
αλλά και να επηρεάσουν αυτήν τη σχέση όπως είναι οι δραστηριότητες, η
άσκηση και η διατροφή.
ξεκινούν νωρίς στην ζωή των υπερηλίκων ατόμων, ο κάθε ιατρός, ειδικά ο
γενικός / οικογενειακός ιατρός της πρωτοβάθμιας φροντίδας υγείας, αλλά
και ο ιατρός της φυσικής ιατρικής / αποκατάστασης θα πρέπει να μπορούν
να παρεμβαίνουν με απλά, πρακτικά και φθηνά μέσα για την βελτίωση της
διατροφικής κατάστασης των υπερηλίκων που διαβιούν στην κοινότητα.
Συζητάται και ο ρόλος της άσκησης στην παρέμβαση αυτή.

Abstracts
Ως «Ευπάθεια (Frailty)» ορίζεται η αδυναμία του ηλικιωμένου ατόμου
/ οργανισμού να ανταποκριθεί κατάλληλα σε κάθε φυσικό, βιολογικό ή
ψυχολογικό stress. Μετά την έκθεση ενός ευπαθούς ηλικιωμένου ατόμου
σε ένα ισχυρό stress, η αποκατάσταση απαιτεί πολύ χρόνο και δεν είναι
πλήρης, σε αντίθεση με τα εύρωστα άτομα. Μια άλλη έκφραση της
ευπάθειας είναι η εξάντληση των ψυχο-βιολογικών εφεδρειών, οπότε το
άτομο για να ανταποκριθεί στις συνθήκες της συνηθισμένης καθημερινής
του ζωής πρέπει να χρησιμοποιεί αναγκαστικά ένα υψηλό ποσοστό των
δυνατοτήτων του (80-90%).
Υπάρχουν πολλά κριτήρια για τον ορισμό του συνδρόμου της ευπάθειας.
Βιολογικοί, ψυχολογικοί και κοινωνικοί παράγοντες μπορούν να συντείνουν
στην εμφάνιση του συνδρόμου. Ωστόσο, ένας κοινός παρονομαστής όλων
αυτών των διεργασιών σε βιολογικό επίπεδο είναι η σαρκοπενία. Ως
σαρκοπενία ορίζεται η συνολική απώλεια μυϊκής μάζας από τα ηλικιωμένα
και αυτή με την σειρά της μετράται ποσοτικά από την δύναμη σφιξίματος
του χεριού και την ταχύτητα βάδισης.
Η κακή διατροφική κατάσταση (ποσοτικά ή / και ποιοτικά ανεπαρκής)
αποτελεί μία από τις βασικές αιτίες πρόκλησης και εμφάνισης σαρκοπενίας
και ευπάθειας. Είναι σημαντικό για τον κάθε ιατρό να γνωρίζει τις βασικές
αρχές διατροφικής παρέμβασης, ποσοτικής και ποιοτικής, στον πληθυσμό
αυτό. Καθώς η εκτίμηση, παρακολούθηση και παρέμβαση πρέπει να
