Lancet Commission on Long-Term Care for Older Persons

1 June 2023
The UN declared 2021–30 to be the Decade of Healthy Ageing, and efforts are being made to maximise the functional ability of people over their life course. Yet older people are marginalised and perceived as a burden, particularly those with ongoing loss in capacity. Nowhere is this more conspicuous than in the context of long-term care (LTC) worldwide, where older people in some settings encounter a loss of independence and other violations of their human rights. Such experiences can range from deprivation of liberty and loss of legal capacity and consent to coerced institutionalisation, exposure to abuse, neglect, and disrespect, and persistent use of restraints. These circumstances create inequity, injustice, and indignity for older people. Overcoming these societal and political challenges requires the lens of human rights and a rethinking of the provision of LTC so that it respects the rights of older people and addresses their diverse needs and preferences in fragile LTC systems. A new Lancet Commission on Long-Term Care for Older Persons aims to take just such an approach, fostering person-centred LTC in accord with the WHO Healthy Ageing framework. Our Commissioners bring a wealth of perspectives drawn from different regions, care settings, and areas of interest, with expertise in geriatrics, geropsychology, geriatric psychiatry, gerontology, nursing, palliative care, primary care, social work, clinical epidemiology, health economics, health policy, and regulation. The Commission will work in co-creation with a group of older people from different regions with lived experience of LTC. More

ILC-UK Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index

23 May 2023
Investing in people’s health is vital for everyone’s wellbeing and to ensure that we can truly benefit from the “longevity dividend” that could result from an ageing population. Yet we know that across the globe, action and investment in healthy ageing and preventative health continues to lag. This is where the Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index comes in. It ranks 121 countries against six indicators: life span, health span, work span, income, environmental performance, and happiness. This allows us to compare how sustainable different countries are, both in terms of longer lives and the extent to which their governments are investing in efforts to prevent ill health and support healthy ageing. We know prevention is better than cure. We know what works. Now we need to see action. More

SHIFT (Sexual Health In the over ForTy-fives) Project

8 November 2021
SHIFT (Sexual Health In the over ForTy-fives) is part of the Interreg 2Seas Programme, receiving funding from the European Regional Development Fund. Running from 2019 to 2022, the project involves partners from across the “2Seas” region: UK, The Netherlands, and Belgium. The objective of SHIFT is to empower people aged over 45 to participate in sexual health services, and improve their sexual health and wellbeing. There is an additional focus on socioeconomically disadvantaged groups across the 2Seas region. As the SHIFT Evaluation Partner, the University of Chichester has thus far carried out both qualitative and quantitative Needs Assessments on the awareness, attitudes and needs relating to sexual health and wellbeing among adults over the age of 45 in the 2Seas region. Additionally, they will be carrying out a final evaluation of the project in 2022. More

Uncertain Futures

25 October 2021
Uncertain Futures is a participatory research project centered around a collaborative artwork at Manchester Art Gallery, which aims to highlight intersectional issues in work for women over 50 focusing on gender, age, race, disability, migration and socio-economic backgrounds. Developed by an Advisory Group formed of women over 50 years of age linked to Manchester’s diverse communities in collaboration with artist Suzanne Lacy, Manchester Art Gallery and Manchester City Council Work and Skills, Uncertain Futures aims to co-research conditions around access to work, issues within work and issues leaving work for women over 50 with the University of Manchester: School of Social Sciences, Department of Law (Dr. Elaine Dewhurst) and Manchester Metropolitan University: Department of Social Care and Social Work (Dr. Sarah Campbell). An additional work package has been added to highlight the impact of what the group has termed the “Covid+ effect” on discrimination and inequality: how existing forms of discrimination and inequality have been exacerbated by Covid-19. Uncertain Futures will open in 2021 with an installation in the Gallery hosting interviews with 100 women from all walks of life, alongside workshops, talks, and media presentations that explore survival and equity issues. The research aims to understand the interconnection between women's experiences of work with their age, race, gender, and other relevant aspects of their identities. The research involves an analysis of the interviews alongside the development of a website which will host policy and research briefings on these challenging topics. More

Age Without Limits

13 January 2024
Age Without Limits is a new campaign from Ageing Better (UK). Launched in January 2024, The Age Without Limits campaign aims to change the way we all think about ageing and support a growing movement of people and organisations working to make society more age-inclusive. Ageism is the prejudice that’s hidden in plain sight. It’s embedded in our society and even accepted as normal by those of us who are older. We see and hear casual ageism every day in the media, on TV, at work, in pubs, on social media, in family conversations. It doesn’t have to be this way. Thinking negatively about ageing and older people has been accepted and ignored for too long. More

#OlderNotOver

28 September 2023
#OlderNotOver is HelpAge International's three-year campaign that will champion a fuller, more authentic portrayal of what life really looks like after 60, from America to Zimbabwe. We’re calling on every member in the global HelpAge network to help change how the world sees and treats older people. But you don’t have to be a member of the global network to get involved. If you want to grow older in a world that doesn’t demonise and penalise people once they get to 60, we’d love to have you on board. Together, we can create a powerful movement that truly champions older age in all its glory. More

Global Coalition on Aging Bone Health Initiative

27 January 2023
The Global Coalition on Aging Bone Health Initiative was convened in 2022 to address the importance of bone health on the global public health agenda. Experts project that half a billion people will soon be living with osteoporosis, which weakens their bones and increases the risk of fragility fractures – fractures that occur because of weaker bones. Every 3 seconds, an older adult suffers a fracture, resulting in an estimated 9 million fractures globally every year. Approximately 33 percent of women and 20 percent of men aged 50 and older will experience osteoporosis-related bone fractures. More importantly, we know that individuals who sustain fragility fractures ddare a readily identifiable group at high imminent risk of sustaining second and subsequent fractures. More

AgeFriendly.org

8 April 2022
AgeFriendly.org is a data-driven technology platform that aims to provide trusted content about the aging journey, help validate and elevate all things “age-friendly”, and invite older adults and caregivers to share reviews and ratings about programs, businesses, health care providers and other services where they live, work and thrive. Experts have used the term “age-friendly” for the last 15 years to describe and assess successful approaches to improving quality outcomes for older adults in cities, workplace, homes and provider settings. Providers around the globe are innovating and creating “age-friendly” best practices to better serve fast growing populations of older adults. Consumers too are recognizing and adopting this term, fueled by consumer-facing media in the U.S. that has used the term over 300,000 times in just the last two years. A missing link in this burgeoning “age-friendly” ecosystem has been a feedback loop: the ability for providers to collect consumer feedback at scale and use it to guide the creation of better programs and services that truly live up to the promise of “age-friendly.” User-generated rating and reviews sites exist in many categories (like travel) to promote authenticity, create trust and drive purchasing decisions. To date, a comparable site that elevates and connects “age-friendly” providers with older adults has not existed. AgeFriendly.org aims to address this gap. More

2024 US National Academy of Medicine Catalyst Award Competition

16 February 2024
The National Academy of Medicine (“NAM”), with support from Johnson & Johnson Innovation, the Bia-Echo Foundation, and the Yun Family Foundation, will issue up to 18 Catalyst Awards in 2024 to U.S.-based innovators. Each Catalyst Award includes a $50,000 cash prize as well as exclusive access to additional funding opportunities, occasions to connect and collaborate with innovators from around the world, amplification of your award-winning idea, and resources to enhance your project and professional development. The NAM is currently seeking bold, new, and innovative ideas that aim to extend the human healthspan (i.e., the number of years lived in good health), especially approaches that challenge existing paradigms or propose new methodologies or concepts. High-risk ideas that could potentially yield high rewards and, in turn, dramatically change the field of healthy longevity are encouraged. Ideas may focus on any stage of life, as long as they ultimately promote health, functioning, meaning, purpose and/or dignity as people age. Applications may also originate from any field or combination of fields (e.g., biology, chemistry, medicine, engineering, behavioral and social sciences, technology, data science, and policy). The NAM strongly encourages individuals with diverse backgrounds, ideologies, and perspectives to apply. Ideas or projects that aim to reduce health disparities, promote health equity, combat ageism, or apply human-centered design principles to engage older adults in the work, are also of strong interest to the NAM. The NAM does not seek to fund existing programs (or slight variations thereof), approaches that are primarily public awareness, educational, or advocacy campaigns, nor products that are already commercially available.

Call for Inputs: Report of the Independent Expert on the enjoyment of all human rights by older persons on legal capacity and informed consent of older persons

16 February 2024
The Independent Expert on the enjoyment of all human rights by older persons, Dr. Claudia Mahler, will focus her next thematic report on legal capacity and informed consent of older persons. The report will be presented to the 57th session of the Human Rights Council in September 2024. In this report, the Independent Expert will examine the human rights of older persons who are deprived of legal capacity and the ability to provide informed consent, as well as the underlying causes for the restriction of these rights in old age. The report will take stock of laws and polices that address issues of decision-making autonomy, legal capacity, and informed consent for older persons, including measures in place to assist older persons to retain their legal capacity and challenge decisions that would deprive them thereof. The report will also explore the tension between protection and autonomy that permeates discourse on the rights of older persons, and will draw on existing standards to examine how the right to legal capacity and informed consent can be understood and applied in the context of old age. The Independent Expert will address the issue from an intersectional perspective, in exploring the interactions with other social factors such as gender, sex, race, ethnicity, language, Indigenous identity, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, social status, place of origin, and immigration status. The objective of the report is to provide a catalogue of good practices put in place by Governments, as well as an analysis of the gaps in the existing framework and the challenges faced by relevant stakeholders.

An international public call has been launched as part of a WHO-led initiative to develop an intervention accelerator to speed up the development of effective interventions for abuse of older people in community and institutional settings within low-, middle- and high-income countries. The call aims to identify interventions that are promising to address the abuse of older people, towards further evaluation and scaling up. Contributions will help create a catalogue of interventions that can be analysed and later prioritised by governments, international and civil society organizations, or donors. More

12 Marie-Sklodowska Curie Doctoral Researcher Positions on Ageing, Place and Home

28 February 2023
Ageing in place is critical to the future of ageing societies in Europe. Older people’s places are recognised as fundamental to long term health and wellbeing outcomes - a fact that has been magnified during the Covid-19 pandemic. Yet, critically, almost a third of older people in Europe experience neighbourhood deprivation, a fifth encounter a lack of cohesion, a growing number are homeless, and approximately 3 million continue to reside in institutional settings. This Doctoral Researcher position hosted by the University of Manchester is funded by the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) grant ref EP/X030482/1 and is available from 1st September 2023 for 36 months. The Doctoral Research post is linked to HOMeAGE, a new, nine country, Marie Skłodowska Curie (MSCA) Doctoral Network Programme, funded by the European Commission. HOMeAGE seeks to recruit 12 Doctoral Researchers (DRs) on a full-time basis over three years starting in September 2023. HOMeAGE will address the three interconnected challenges of (1) needs and systems, (2) home and belonging and (3) rights and voice. Based at the University of Manchester, the successful candidate for this Doctoral Research Position will work as part of Work Package 3 and focus on the relationship between ageing in place and urban regeneration.
