Better understand the concept of Healthy Ageing and Intrinsic Capacity (IC)
Our researchers found three distinct IC trajectories among community-dwelling older Chinese adults. The class with the highest level of baseline IC and the least declining trajectory was more likely to preserve functional ability. Monitoring IC trajectories is of relevance to clinical practice.

Better understand the readiness for implementing the WHO ICOPE Approach
Our researchers found that the stage of ICOPE implementation readiness was “initiating”. The social care settings were able to provide a context to engage older adults, education on general health and disease prevention, and interventions for promoting healthy ageing. The study also identified barriers and facilitators to ICOPE implementation. Find out more >

研究所聯同聯合國可持續發展解決方案網絡香港地區分會 (「SDSN香港」)於2018年11月30日合辦「可持續發展傑出講座」,並邀請英國倫敦大學健康公平學院院長Michael Marmot教授主講,題目為「健康公平與可持續發展」,吸引逾150位學者、學生、校友及公眾人士出席。
會議
Second Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) Meeting
The Institute and The Hong Kong Geriatrics Society jointly organized the 2nd Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia Meeting on 18-19 May 2019 in CUHK. More than 40 delegates from Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Mainland China, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand attended the meeting. They also discussed the AWGS consensus paper which is scheduled to be published at the next AWGS meeting in October.
研究計劃
香港活齡指數的建立:重新發掘年長人士的生活經驗與潛能 (優配研究金,大學教育資助委員會, 香港,2017-2019,項目編號:14606517)
香港擁有全球最高的人口預期壽命和低生育率,其福利制度能否足以支撐年長人士得到長久而積極的生活引起大眾關注。鑑於高密度的城市生活和剩餘型福利制度的意識形態,結合年長人士成為社會的資產是一項具挑戰性的任務。由二十八個歐洲國家開展的活齡指數(AAI)是以量化全球積極老齡化的不同經驗和年長人士的三大潛力範疇(人力資源、健康資本和人力資本)作基準。它可透過國家之間的比較從而
了解迅速人口結構轉變帶來的社會影響,並提出可引發年長人士潛能的方案。 是項研究之目的是透過調整歐洲AAI的四個核心領域:「就業」,「社會參與」,「獨立,健康及安全有保障的生活」和「活齡能力及其有利環境」,使其應用於香港。研究會採取分階段性的方法包括焦點小組訪談、跨學科專家小組審核和人口調查,歸納有關對年長華人生活經驗的必要元素。
在高密度城市為促進積極樂頤年設計更好的城市綠地 (優配研究金,大學教育資助委員會,香港,2017-2020,項目編號:14603617)
在高密度城市,由於室內居住環境擠逼,城市綠地應被視為長者生活空間的延伸。具良好設計的城市綠地能促進積極樂頤年並改善長者的生活質素。本研究旨在了解長者對於城市綠地的看法、偏好及使用情況,以及城市綠地對長者的健康和生活質素的影響,以便就在高密度城市中規劃和設計長者友善的城市綠地提出見解。我們會於選定之地區對長者進行問卷調查,並進行統計分析感知價值、偏好和使用模式,並判斷它們與長者健康狀況的關係。根據上述結果,研發良好的設計規範,並為從事城市規劃和設計的持份者訂定循證為本的城市綠地的設計準則。
Disaster Risk Reduction and Its Economic Evaluation - A Hong Kong Taiwan Comparative Study (Taiwan Collaboration Fund)
這是一個跨大學和跨學科的合作項目,當中結合了經濟學和城市規劃學科,去檢視香港和台灣之間有效減輕災害風險 (Disaster Risk Reduction, DRR) 的措施。是次項目比較兩地的DRR框架,和辨別在風險評估、對話和行動中導致DRR有效和無效實施的差距。結果的比較旨在融洽知識、行動和各持份者來加強災害防治和管理。
健康耆年x 樂得耆所 (也稱為“小松隊2.0”) (中大知識轉移基金項目)
項目希望為長者帶來更健康的生活環境,不但讓長者更了解自己的身體狀況,而且讓居所的物業服務團隊(作為前線人員)能夠掌握健康知識。透過「老年人綜合照護」模式提前發現和協助長者的需求 ,這種以人為本的物業管理模式將人和社區置於醫療系統的中心,提供一個更適合和優質的長者健康服務體驗,並有效地回應健康服務的需求。
“日常。邊界。”香港城市環境的通用設計研習 (中大知識轉移基金項目)
項目希望香港成為年齡友善的步行城市。通過由醫生,建築師和城市規劃師組成的項目團隊,鼓勵長者和學生外出探索城市中的“寶藏”,並表達他們對建築環境共用性設計的看法。專業團隊與長者之間的協同作用是互雙補益的,對整個社會產生積極的螺旋效應。
該項目提供了一個積極及實際的方式來推動我們實現“可持續發展目標”(SDGs) 的城市,建設包容、安全和可持續的空間,並保障香港長者福祉的權利。

同賞同遊:透過提升意義感以減低長者孤獨感的社區介入(中大知識轉移基金項目)
有意義的社會關係對長者的心理健康不可或缺,但香港的許多長者卻面對孤獨的狀態。為了探討這個課題,香港中文大學賽馬會老年學研究所聯同中大心理學系以及社區合作夥伴合辦了一個項目。此項目探索長者是否能通過參與具有意義感的活動、緬懷過往經歷與回憶,從而減低孤獨感。活動包括兩部分,各部分在交錯的星期舉行。第一部分:長者們在導賞員的帶領下遊覽自己居住區內(大埔區)具有歷史及文化意義的景點。第二部分:通過小組活動,長者們集體緬懷與遊覽地點相關並且有意義的過往經歷及回憶。通過這些分享及互動,長者們得以與其他組員建立聯繫,從而減低孤獨感。結果顯示,相對比較組(一般康樂活動),介入組年屆75歲或以上的長者的孤獨感得到舒緩、意義感得到提升。我們正在以更大的規模的展開此項目,讓香港更多的孤獨長者獲益。

賽馬會全城起動防衰老計劃
As the population ages, the number of people with frailty is expected to increase, adding burden to the healthcare and social service system. However, frailty is not an inevitable consequence of ageing. Older people who maintain regular physical exercise and cognitive training are more likely to remain healthy and live independently. Thus, prevention and early identification of frailty are important in delaying progressive decline. The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of a 12-week frailty program in reducing frailty in community-dwelling Chinese older adults who are pre-frail or frail. Focus group interviews will also be included to reveal the difficulties encountered by pre-frail or frail older adults, and to understand their expectations for the support towards frailty.

Dr. Ruby Yu has studied the association of multiple health behaviors with physical and cognitive functioning. She has examined the factors associated with sarcopenia and the predictive ability of sarcopenia on fracture risk in community-dwelling older adults. She has been involved in several studies to assess the effects of mindfulness intervention (such as Dejian mind body intervention) on cognitive functions and physical fitness among older adults. She has authored and co-authored several book chapters, reports, and peer-reviewed journal articles.

I study the role of social psychological processes in the aging experience. These include socio-cognitive processes (e.g., context-dependence, dialectical thinking, framing), use of information communication technologies (ICTs), and meaningful engagement. My current work also examines how lonely older adults can benefit from different community-based interventions. My research investigates how these processes can be harnessed to help older adults make better decisions, build satisfying relationships, and lead meaningful lives.

• Information communication technology (ICT) use among older adults
• Aging across cultures
• Framing and decision making

老齡化研究的優勢
香港中文大學賽馬會老年學研究所建基於中大一直以來發展老齡化研究的基礎上,進一步開拓研究的主題。
早於1998年,何善衡老年學及老年病學研究中心已經開始在老人病學以及心理社交等領域展開研究,並於2011年加入國際老年學和老年病學協會的研究網絡,與世界各地的機構建立伙伴關係。
多年來,中大的老年病學專家同時在醫院管理局擔任醫生照顧患病長者,因而有助展開包括病者的探索性研究,以及對有關研究進行評估。此外,教研人員在不同領域進行提升醫療質素的研究,改善了醫療服務的模式,當中包括使用遠程醫學支援院舍長者以及引入不同設施及配備,以達致「無約束環境」,從而保障病人安全及維護病人的尊嚴。
中大與慈善機構合作推行的社區項目亦提供進行學術研究的機會,例如「流金頌:賽馬會長者計劃新里程計劃」下推出的善終服務及慢性疾病管理項目同時促進該些領域的學術研究。此外,中大那打素護理學院所舉辦的「流金頌培訓計劃課程」就不同的老齡化議題為社會大眾提供培訓及教育,長遠有助啟發從事更多關於老齡化問題的研究。
中大的教授亦在多個研究中心開拓嶄新的研究,其中包括腦退化症(賽馬會耆智園)、衰老狀況及健康耆年(賽馬會流金滙和中大內科及藥物治療學系老人科)、骨質疏鬆(中大賽馬會骨質疏鬆預防及治療中心)、少肌症中運動及營養的角色以及飲食與生活方式對預防常見的老年慢性疾病的影響(中大營養研究中心)。其他研究範疇包括「高齡工學」的發展與應用,以及與中大合作成立的深圳先進技術研究院合作,共同就相關領域進行研究。
