THE RISING CHALLENGE

Duration of Sitting

EFFECTS OF AGEING ON SITTING behaviour

Losing the ability to stand up may lead to avoidance of moving around, further inactivity and longer sitting.

A recent not yet published study involving 884 subjects revealed a significant increase in sitting duration with ageing in the 81- 100 age group compared to the 71-80 age group (Figure 2).

Recent studies have suggested that breaking up prolonged sitting may improve glucose metabolism and could represent an important public health and clinical intervention strategy for reducing cardiovascular risk [8–11] and mortality [12], which underscores the importance of maintaining the ability to stand up from a sitting position. Data Source: https://research.vu.nl/ws/...

Activities for older adults - The best way to improve senior mobility The sit to stand exercise

This simple home exercise is the best for mobility and independence.

The ability to stand up from a chair makes a huge difference in everyday life for seniors. It helps with essential activities like getting up from the toilet, out of bed, and out of a chair.

That’s why the sit to stand exercise is probably the best of the mobility exercises for seniors. It’s a functional exercise for that exact movement and strengthens leg, core, and back muscles – all needed to increase mobility and independence as well as improve balance.

Elderly Independence

Distribution (percentage) of persons aged 60 years or over by type of household living arrangement, for regions, circa 1990 and circa 2010. A recent not yet published study involving 884 subjects revealed a significant increase in sitting duration with ageing in the 81- 100 age group compared to the 71-80 age group (Figure 2).

Elderly Independence
Elderly people Europe are most independent –
27% above elderly from 60 years old and above live by their own
49% Live with a Spouse only
20% Live with their children

In the UK the numbers are quite similar to the European statistics:
Around 30% Live by their own, 50% live with a spouse only and a bit more than 10% live with their children.

How to Support, Encourage, and Maintain Elderly Independence

Elderly independence is an important part of ageing. Find out how you can help the seniors in your life to be happy, healthy, and safe in their own homes by lending a hand with small- and large-scale tasks that will make their lives easier and fuller.

It’s not uncommon for seniors and young adults alike to worry more about losing their independence more than the actual ageing process. While gaining wisdom, experience, and advancing in your career and family life may all seem appealing, losing the ability to care for yourself and your home can make the positives a little bit harder to enjoy.

Key trends in population ageing and the living arrangements of older persons

The global population aged 60 years or over numbered 962 million in 2017, more than twice as large as in 1980 when there were 382 million older persons worldwide. The number of older persons is expected to double again by 2050, when it is projected to reach nearly 2.1 billion. In 2030, older persons are expected to outnumber children under age 10 (1.41 billion versus 1.35 billion); in 2050, projections indicate that there will be more older persons aged 60 or over than adolescents and youth at ages 10-24 (2.1 billion versus 2.0 billion).
Globally, the number of persons aged 80 years or over is projected to increase more than threefold between 2017 and 2050, rising from 137 million to 425 million.

In the findings, recent internet use among women aged 75 and over had almost trebled from 2011.
