Good Self-Rated Health (SRH) by SocialCapital, GOAL Cohort Study 2002
• Social capital measure basedon participation and trust:
– low social capital (lowparticipation/low trust)
– traditionalism (low/high),– “the miniaturisation of
community” (high/low)– high social capital (high/high).
• The highest rate of good SRHwas found among the highsocial capital group
• After adjusting for backgroundfactors (age, gender, maritalstatus, education and subjectiveincome), statistical significanceremained only in the urbanarea.

Overweight and aging• Preventing overweight among children and working-
age adults is an important goal for health policy• Overweight among older adults a more complex
phenomenon:– Maintenance of weight and even overweight predict
independent living– But: overweight and obesity may lower ability to
manage activities of daily life (ADL)

Some implications of the Cohort Study• Interventions that foster participation and trust are
likely to promote perceived health• Lifestyle counseling for weight management and
weight loss should mainly be targeted at– Working-aged adults and those who have recently
retired AND– Who have been identified with high risk for type 2
diabetes (e.g., risk test or impaired glucosetolerance)
• Obesity-related functional problems should betargeted primarily with physical exercise that helpsto maintain lean mass and improve muscle strength

GOAL Lifestyle Implementation Trial• To implement findings from RCT’s to primary health
care– Participant behavior change based on health
behavior theories– Aiming to change preventive practices and to provide
tools for promoting behavior change– Outcome and process evaluation:
• Who were the ones to benefit?• What factors accounted for the success?

GOAL Lifestyle Implementation Trial
Theory-base for health behaviorchange
• Process view on lifestyle change (Health Action Process Approach1):– Motivation, intention, planning, action, esp. Self-efficacy and action planning
• Self-determination of behaviour2:– Empowerment– Internal vs external motivation– Autonomous vs controlled regulation of behavior
• Self-regulation skills3:– Self-monitoring, goal setting, action and coping planning, feedback and
evaluation• Positive emotions4:
– Valuable as such but have also health benefits

Glucose tolerance at year 3• 193 participants had normal glucose tolerance at
baseline– 10.9% had IGT and 1.6% diabetes at year three.
• 65 participants had IGT at baseline– 12% had diabetes and 43% had returned to normal by
year three• Conversion rate from IGT to diabetes – 12% at year
three – is reasonable compared to 9% in theintervention and 20% in the control group of the DPS

Promoting Healthy Ageing AndIndependence Among The Ageing
Population In Päijät-Häme
GOAL Program for Good Ageing
Strength and balance• Poor balance is the main risk factor for falls• In year 2000, the cost of falls related injuries in
Finland € 39 million, 82% due to hip fractures• Annually, > 7000 hip fractures, 90% resulting from
falling• Treatment costs in the first year after fracture, in
average € 17,000• Cost in the first year after permanent
institutionalization due to hip fracture, in average €41,900 (Sihvonen & Salmela 2009)
Health Care CenterNon-Governmental Organizations
GOAL Healthy Aging Program 2008-2012
- Development of a model to evaluate,enhance/maintain, and monitor functional capacityamong the aged population- Fostering partnership between public sector andthird sector organizations in preventive care- Utilising existing infrastructure for implementingnovel practices- Regional and local emphasis
Implementation ofintervention:
• Guided stregthand balancetraining• Creative groupactivities for socialfunctioning, healthyeating and dailyphysical activity
Screening andidentification ofolder adults 70 yrs at risk ofimpairedfunctionalcapacity
Referral to intervention for those identified
Referral to follow-up testing and recording of functional capacity
The GOAL Healthy Aging Program
Design and measurements• Intervention group, a non-randomised control group
(target N=320)– Intervention 12 weeks, 24 sessions with 1 h exercise,
1,5 h group discussion• Baseline (recruitment)• 3 months (immediate post-intervention)• 15 months (one-year post-intervention)
Measures• Recruitment by nurse
– Inclusion:• SPPB 7-9 (physical functioning)
– Exclusion:• MMSE 20 (memory)• GDS >10 (mood)• AUDIT 12 (alcohol)
– Other:• MNA (nutrition)
• Self-administered questionnaire study:– SPS (social support, quantity and quality)– Hyve-measure (social functioning)– RAND 36 (Health-related QoL)– Health behavior
Those excluded are referred torelevant other care processeswithin the health care
17/11/2010 30
Goal-oriented approach (self-regulation) foractive, healthy aging:• Clarify your own life goals and values• Self-monitor your current situation (in relation to social
networks, eating, physical activity etc relevant areas in yourlife you want to tackle)
• Identify needs (by evaluating current situation in relation to lifegoals and values)
• Set SMART goals to overcome discrepancies betweencurrent situation and life goals
• Make a step by step action plan• Monitor and evaluate outcomes
