Detailed Description
The population of older adults is rapidly increasing worldwide and in Norway. A present and future challenge is to provide adequate health and care services to older persons. It is imperative to organize the services in a manner that is both adequate for the older persons in need of help and sustainable for health and care services and society. A way to ensure this is to facilitate and promote measures allowing older adults to age well at home. Accordingly, it is of great importance to enable older adults to engage with health determinants that influence their daily life actively. One area of importance is assessing health determinants and acting upon indications of functional decline, cognitive and sensory impairments, and frailty.
The observational study will assess how interprofessional assessments of health determinants in older adults living at home can promote health and reduce the risk of functional decline. The study participants will take part in two assessments of health determinants including frailty, physical, cognitive, and sensory function, mental and social health, and alcohol use. Based on results from the baseline assessment healthcare personnel will identify factors that can affect the older adult's health, provide tailored information to strengthen health literacy, and offer measures available in the health services in the municipality. The second assessment 5 months after baseline will reveal if tailoring measures and services have contributed to maintaining and supporting the older person's health and reduced the risk of functional decline. The aim of the project is that the elderly living at home maintains health, function, and self-care and thus can have more good days at home.

Cohorts and Interventions
Group / Cohort |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Older adults ≥75 living at home
Older adults ≥75 years living at home applying for a municipal health and care service for an estimated period of more than two weeks.
|
Based on the results of the first assessment of the older person's health determinants, healthcare professionals will recommend and tailor measures to the individual's needs to reduce the risk of functional decline and maintain their health while living at home.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Measure of Physical function
Time Frame: Baseline and 5 Months
|
Change in the older adult's physical function will be measured with the "Short Physical Performance Battery".
Values: 0-4.
A higher score means better physical function.
|
Baseline and 5 Months
|
Measure of cognitive function
Time Frame: Baseline and 5 Months
|
Change in the older adult's cognitive function will be measured with the "MiniCog" screening tool for cognitive impairment. Values: 0-4. We use a cut-off value of <4 points which is recommended, as this may indicate a need for further investigation of cognitive status. |
Baseline and 5 Months
|
Measure of clinical frailty
Time Frame: Baseline and 5 Months
|
Change in frailty will be measured with the "Global Measure of frailty and fitness in elderly people". Values: 0-9. A higher score means a high level of frailty. |
Baseline and 5 Months
|
Measure of lonliness
Time Frame: Baseline and 5 Months
|
Change in lonliness will be measured with "The Short UCLA Lonliness scale".
Values: 0-3.
A higher score means a high level of lonliness.
|
Baseline and 5 Months
|
Measure of depression
Time Frame: Baseline and 5 Months
|
To assess change in depression in old age, we will use the 4-item Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS).Values: 0-1.
A cut-off score >0 indicates depression
|
Baseline and 5 Months
|
Measure of vision
Time Frame: Baseline and 5 Months
|
Change in vision will be measured with a structured vision assessment tool called KROSS (a Norwegian acronym for Competence, Rehabilitation of Sight after Stroke) developed by the University of South-Eastern Norway in collaboration with the Vestre Viken Hospital Trust and stroke survivor organizations.
The KROSS tool includes assessments of visual acuity, visual field, eye alignment and movements, and visual attention.
|
Baseline and 5 Months
|
Measure of hearing
Time Frame: Baseline and 5 Months
|
Change in hearing will be measured with the Combined Serious Sensory Impairment (Kombinert Alvorlig Sansesvikt) KAS- Screen interview guide.
The questions used in our study come from the hearing and verbal communication/social life subscales.
|
Baseline and 5 Months
|
Measure of alcohol use
Time Frame: Baseline and 5 Months
|
For assessment of change in alcohol consumption, we will use the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT-C) 4 items.
Values:0-12.The AUDIT-C is scored on a scale of 0-12 (scores of 0 reflect no alcohol use).
In men, a score of 4 or more is considered positive; in women, a score of 3 or more is considered positive.
Generally, the higher the AUDIT-C score, the more likely it is that the person's drinking is affecting his/her health.
