"ABSTRAKArtikel ini membahas tentang preferensi tempat tinggal lansia di Panti Werdha. Studi sebelumnya memperlihatkan bahwa lansia lebih memilih untuk tinggal bersama anggota keluarga mereka untuk mendapatkan dukungan sosial dan kualitas hidup yang baik. Padahal, Panti Werdha sebenarnya juga dapat menyediakan hal-hal tersebut dengan lebih baik melalui fasilitas-fasilitas yang dimilikinya. Dari kondisi tersebut, artikel ini kemudian akan melihat alasan lansia yang tinggal di Panti Werdha karena preferensi untuk tinggal disana yang masih jarang. Studi-studi sebelumnya menjelaskan bahwa preferensi tempat tinggal lansia dapat dilihat dari aspek internal dan eksternal pada lansia. Namun, studi-studi sebelumnya memiliki kelemahan karena hanya berfokus menjelaskan pada satu aspek tersebut. Artikel ini melihat bahwa preferensi tempat tinggal lansia di Panti Werdha dapat dijelaskan melalui berbagai aspek pada lansia. Artikel ini kemudian berargumen bahwa proses pemilihan tempat tinggal lansia secara mendalam dapat dilihat melalui pemaknaan mereka terhadap Panti Werdha ketika memutuskan untuk tinggal disana. Pemaknaan lansia penting untuk dilihat sebagai dasar rasionalitas mereka dalam berpikir ketika memutuskan dan memilih tinggal di Panti Werdha. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat kecocokan rasionalitas yang dibangun oleh Panti Werdha dengan tujuan yang dimiliki oleh lansia ketika memutuskan untuk tinggal disana. Melalui studi kasus pada tujuh lansia di Panti Werdha, penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif.

ABSTRACTAbstractThis article discusses the elderly 39 s living arrangement preference at Panti Werdha. Previous studies showed that the elderly prefered to live with members of their families in order to get social supports and better quality of life although Panti Werdha can actually provide better social supports and better quality of life through facilities that it owns. Referrring to that situation, this article is concerned about the reasons why the elderly choose to live at Panti Werdha since the preference to live there is still rare. Previous studies explained that the preference of living arrangements of the elderly can be seen from the internal and external aspects of the elderly. However, previous studies have weaknesses because it only focuses explain on one particular aspect. Moreover,this article argues that the elderly 39 s residential preference can profoundly be observed through their sensing on Panti Werdha once they decide to live there. This elderly 39 s sensing is essential in observing their logical rationality when they decide and choose to live at Panti Werdha. The research findings show that rationality developed by Panti Werdha match the elderly 39 s objectives when they decide to live there. Through case studies on seven elderlies at Panti Werdha, this research employs qualitative methods."

"This cross sectional study in the Philippines, is a part of CRONOS study. Data on dietary intake, anthropometry, biochemical assessment and socio - economic and self perceived health status were collected from 300 elderly Filipino men and women between 60-75 years old in middle income and low income areas in Metro Manila and rural areas in Rizal province during the period of October to November 1996.Results of dietary intake showed both sexes had very low intakes of energy nutrients. Rural elderly for both sexes had low intakes of energy and nutrients compared with urban middle income and urban low income.Anthropometric finding showed that rural elderly had lower nutritional status as compared to urban elderly. Chronic energy deficiency was higher in male than female elderly. A high prevalence of anemia (38%) among male elderly was also found to exist. A high prevalence of hypertension was also observed in the urban low income elderly (33%).Majority of the elderly rated their self rated health as good and fair. The reported self perceived diseases common among the elderly were arthritis, cough, and hypertension.Previous jobs engaged by the elderly were mostly blue collar jobs and owing to loss of income, most elderly are dependent on their families for support."

"This cross sectional study was conducted on 304 elderly, aged 55 years and over, who were randomly selected at the Public Health Center levels in South Jakarta. The prevalence of CHD risk factors for the total population indicated by dyslipidemia and abdominal over fatness in this study were high (76% and 48°1o, respectively). Differences between gender were found with respect to body fat distribution as determinant of serum lipid profiles. In the elderly women, AHR were positively correlated with serum triglycerides and total cholesterol (p<0.05) but not in the elderly men. Energy, fat and cholesterol intakes did not show correlation with any serum lipid status in this population group. Energy intake of the elderly was low. Percent energy from fat and cholesterol intake were in accordance with the Indonesian Consensus of Dyslipidemia and NCEP (National Cholesterol Education Program). Generally, the elderly men and women had similar scores for several aspects of later life status. However cognitive function, well being, and later life status in the elderly men were higher than those in the elderly women. It was demonstrated that there was a significant negative association between physical activity score and selected serum lipid profiles (TC and TG), especially in the elderly women. Similar findings were also observed for social activity scores. No associations were found between alcohol consumption and serum lipid profiles in this study. On the other hand, smoking which was prevalent in the elderly men contributed to the elevation of serum triglycerides concentration. "
