- Introducción: Históricamente, las personas mayores españolas y de países del sur de Europa manifiestan índices de soledad percibida muy superiores a los de los países nórdicos. Estudios desde los años 70 hasta ahora confirman esta paradoja. Este estudio analiza la soledad como producto de expectativas culturales y contextuales comparando datos de España y Suecia.Material y método: Se revisarán todas las encuestas en España y Suecia sobre soledad de las personas mayores y en especial, la Encuesta de Condiciones de Vida de 2006 para España y la Encuesta Nacional de 2002–03 para Suecia.Resultados: En promedio, un 24% de los mayores en España y un 10% de los mayores en Suecia expresan soledad (encuestas 2006 y 2002–03, respectivamente). La estructura del hogar y la salud percibida son efectos determinantes de la soledad en ambos países, aunque los niveles difieren. Los mayores con buena salud que viven solos son 5 veces más propensos a sentirse solos en España (45%) que en Suecia (9%) y 2–3 veces más probable cuando viven solos y con mala salud (82–32%). Y para los mayores que conviven con su pareja sin otros y con buena salud es igual de infrecuente en España y en Suecia que experimenten soledad (4–5%) y si surge, parece que tiene que ver con el hecho de cuidar al compañero o con problemas en la relación.Conclusiones: Los resultados destacan los aspectos contextuales (la salud y la estructura del hogar) y las expectativas culturales para entender la soledad manifestada por los mayores.

- Background and aims: This study examines gender-specific behavioral correlates of depressive symptoms using a secondary data analysis of a cross-sectional, population-based sample of older unlike-sex twins.Methods: Unlike-sex twins aged 69–88 were identified through a national Swedish registry and sent a survey about health, including depressive symptoms (CES-D) and the frequency of engaging in physical, social and mental activities. A total of 605 complete twin pairs responded.Results: Depressive symptom scores were associated with frequency of engagement in physical and mental activities, but only in men. No statistically significant associations with depressive symptom scores for any of the three types of activities were found in women.Conclusions: The results suggest that engaging in physical and mental activities may protect older men from developing depressive symptoms, but longitudinal data are needed to offer more conclusive findings on the role that physical, mental, and social activities play in the maintenance of psychological health in older men and women.

- Background and aims: Existing information about institutionalization of elderly individuals is mainly based on cross-sectional data and does not address the cumulative risk of institutionalization. The purpose of the present study was to analyze longitudinal data prospectively and estimate the risk of placement in an elder care institution for individuals aged 70 years or older. Methods: The study was based on a longitudinal investigation (the H70 study) of a random sample of 70-year-olds living in Gothenburg, Sweden, in 1971. Individuals were followed from age 70-100 years. Three different analyses were performed: a descriptive prospective analysis, cross-sectional analyses at ages 70, 79 and 85 years, and a longitudinal analysis of predictors for institutionalization. Results: The prospective analysis indicated that 50% of the individuals eventually moved to an elder care institution. Significantly more women than men were institutionalized, although for women the move occurred later in life. Cross-sectional analyses demonstrated that various factors were important to institutionalization at different ages. The Cox regression model with time-varying covariates indicated that gender, socio-economic situation, marital status, number of symptoms, having children living nearby, and activities in daily life were related to institutionalization. Conclusions: The proportion of elderly persons relocating to institutions was significantly higher than that generally found in cross-sectional studies. It was possible to identify variables that predict institutionalization during a subsequent 30-year period, but different analyses revealed different effects from the factors evaluated.

- Den svenska offentliga äldreomsorgen växte starkt från 1950-talet, och nådde sin högsta nivå på 1980-talet, för att därefter minska under 2000-talet. Med hjälp av riksrepresentativa befolkningsundersökningar från 1954 och fram till 2009 studerar vi mönster i äldres hjälpbehov och insatser från familj och offentlig omsorg. Ansvarsförhållandet mellan stat och familj har skiftat över tid, men omsorg från anhöriga och det offentliga överlappar allt mer. De offentliga insatserna minskar samtidigt som allt fler på sikt får hjälp, men mindre och senare i livet. Allt fler äldre har anhöriga, som ger mer omsorg.
