Q

How may older adults be vulnerable to embodied technologies

A

-may not fully understand data amalamation from various technologies into e healthcare systems
-aging persons are usually left out of conversation regarding this

25
Q

Senescence

A

-the condition in which we age
-normal part of aging

26
Q

Anti-aging

A

-based on biomedical model
-suggests that medical techniques can prevent aging process from occuring or slow it
-prevents appearance of getting older

27
Q

Enhanced aging

A

-not necessarily about slowing or stopping aging
-focuses on painless functionality and timeless performance
-focuses on improving quality of life

28
Q

Anti-aging as disease prevention

A

-if disease prevention could be combined with prevention of molecular damage, the it may be able to prevent emergence of senescent cells

29
Q

Examples of anti-aging interventions

A

-nutrients
-metformin
-inflammation pathways
-stem cells

30
Q

Nutrients

A

-nutrient signalling pathways have been activated to turn on endogenous repair and rejuvenation pathways

31
Q

Metformin

A

-diabetes drug
-appears to be activated during aging-related nutrient pathways

32
Q

Inflammation pathways

A

-senescent cells have been eliminated by reducing inflammation

33
Q

Stem cells

A

-can be rejuvenated by infusion with healthy stem cells

34
Q

Anti-aging technology for disease prevention

A

-robotics
-technology-assisted rehab
-AI
-technology to prevent or report falls

35
Q

Robotics

A

-can be used for surgical procedures to improve accuracy

36
Q

Technology-assisted rehab

A

-advances can augment neuroplasticity during recovery periods to be faster due to use of exoskeleton robotics

37
Q

AI

A

-being applied to diagnose and treat ailments and diseases using algorithms

38
Q

Technology to prevent or report falls

A

-in order to provide life saving medical response

39
Q

Goals of enhanced aging

A

-good quality of life
-achieving best possible health and mobility
-compressed morbidity

40
Q

Enhanced aging to address the symptoms of aging

A

-remain physically active
-change diet to reduce caloric intake and add fruits and veggies
-moderate alcohol
-cease tobacco use
-build and maintain support systems and close friendships
-manage stress
-seek meaning and maintain sense of purpose

41
Q

Hybrid approach

A

-mix anti aging techniques with those that enhance aging
-ex could be physically active and have hip surgery

42
Q

Inequity due to anti-aging

A

-those who do not embrace the fight against aging become marginalized/ostracized

43
Q

Ethical considerations of extending life

A

-what are societal concequences of extending lives of some but not others
-should access to anti-aging medications and procedures be an extension of ubiquitous capitalist ethic
-should they only be available to some if they are available to all older adults

44
Q

Lack of representation in media

A

-media seems to signal aging and older people, especially women are not newsworthy, interesting, or desirable

45
Q

Symbolic annihalation

A

-underrepresentation of some group of people in media

46
Q

Negative representation

A

-media images of aging people are often connected to problems and declining health

47
Q

Representation of privilege

A

-older women featured in media are well groomed, without noticeable wrinkles, and have able-bodies in a body shape that conforms to societal norms

48
Q

Healthy aging for the male body

A

-male andropause anti-aging strategies are linked to restoration of lost masculinity
-often measured by male sexual function

49
Q

Healthy aging for the female body

A

-grounded in beauty standards that value the youthful presentation of the body

50
Q

Problems with sex/gender misrepresentations and healthcare

A

-prevention and screenings
-joint disease
-heart disease

51
Q

Prevention and screening

A

-older men are given more flu shots
-cholesterol screenings
-colonoscopies
-and carotid endarectomy for stroke prevention

52
Q

Joint disease

A

-more older women have knee and hip arthritis and disability but are less likely than men to undergo joint replacement surgery

53
Q

Heart disease

A

-women are less likely than men to receive heart bypass, cardiac resynchronization, atrial fibrillation ablation, and cardiac catheterization even when conditions are similar

54
Q

Physician attitudes towards older adults

A

-level of concern for patients
-disrespectful behaviour
-disregarding long-term concequences

55
Q

Types of ageist communication

A

-withhold information
-infantalizing
-talking over their head

56
Q

Withhold information

A

-wont explain as much to older adults as younger adults
-dont think they will understand

57
Q

Infantalizing

A

-using baby talk
-or addressing with terms like sweetie

58
Q

Talking over their head

A

-can be treated as though they have functional deficits, even when they do not
-can be spoken to more slowly or in a loud voice

59
Q

Zero sum game

A

-amount of health available to worlds aging population is not fixed
