Myths about digital technology and older adults
Jeffrey A. Johnson

Nature Aging (2022)

In the age of rapid technological advance there are myths about older adults’ difficulties in using technology. Here I will debunk two common myths: first, the idea that age-related functional decline is entirely responsible; and second, the notion that everyone will be technologically adept once today’s older adults are gone.

【免輔具、溫和有效的徒手肌力訓練+節拍超慢跑幫你存健康】

以前在軍中訓練的是學生和官士兵們,他們都屬青壯年,訓練強度較大,從軍中退役後,2013年受文山區里長之邀,到社區活動中心幫銀髮族開設體適能的課程,考量到他們的年齡和體力,我開始觀察老人家的日常生活中有哪些不便和困難之處,並開始涉獵各種關於特殊族群的體能訓練知識來設計課程內容,同時要考量環境的安全性和便利性,所以我設計的是「徒手肌力訓練+節拍超慢跑」。

●「徒手肌力訓練」讓你的核心逆齡!

當時,我看到某個日本節目介紹了特別為銀髮族設計的徒手肌力訓練,讓嘗試運動的長輩身體與行動能力變好了,這激發了我設計課程的靈感

6 tips for improving news coverage of older people
by Kristen Senz | November 15, 2022

From as early as age 3, people begin to form negative biases toward older people, research has shown, and as many as half of all people worldwide carry ageist beliefs. For journalists, recognizing inherent biases is key to producing better, deeper coverage of aging-related issues and stories involving older people.

The following tips, provided by two experienced journalists who have spent decades covering health and aging, are designed to help newsrooms improve their coverage of longevity and topics that matter to older adults. By developing a more informed and nuanced approach to these stories, journalists can contribute to eradicating ageism and its many harmful effects.

全世界最老!75歲以上長者,首次佔日本總人口的15%以上
2022-11-10 12:01 遠見/ 文 / 魯皓平日本

日本已是超高齡社會,無論是65歲還是75歲以上的人口比例,都是全球最高。

一直以來,日本(Japan)都是全世界最具代表性的老化國家——極低的出生率和平均壽命的延長,使得國家的老年人口比例愈來愈高,加上現代醫學的發達、衛生條件的進步,如今整個國家的平均壽命,已經一年比一年提升。

根據美國(USA)中央情報局(CIA)的《世界概況》(The World Factbook)調查報告,日本幾乎是平均壽命和人口預期壽命最長的國家,靠著發達的醫療保健和飲食習慣,總體預期壽命達83.7歲。

然而,長壽卻少子化的結果,使得日本未來的人口結構面臨極大的挑戰,青年人口減少、勞動力短缺、長照需求人數增加的問題,讓社福體系恐怕得面對超乎想像的壓力。
