Objectives

The ACTIVE team involves epidemiologists, psychologists, cognitive scientists, geriatricians, physical therapists, neurologists and a psychiatrist with the aim of studying: (1) intrinsic capacities of individuals and environmental factors contributing to develop/maintain/reduce functional capacity in the context of acute/chronic disease, disability, and/or old age; and (2) innovative strategies based on the optimization of such factors.

Research area

The first Research axis investigates to what extent intrinsic capacity and environments contribute to develop/maintain/reduce functional ability (coordinated by Karine Pérès):

Functional trajectories of aging process are studied through a continuum distinguishing robustness, pre-frailty, frailty, and activity limitation. We examine their determinants through a multidimensional approach considering intrinsic capacities (cognition, depression, sensory impairments, personality trait…) and environmental factors (family support, social network, (un)adapted home, professional assistance, digital technologies) that may influence the sequence and speed of functional deterioration. The heterogeneity of these trajectories is explored in several prospective population-based and clinical studies: PAQUID, AMI, 3C, CONSTANCES, COGLOC…

Taking advantage of the ongoing cohort studies, the PA-COVID sub-study, set up very shortly after the first COVID-19 lockdown in France, aims at providing valuable knowledge on older adults’ social and psychological experiences of the COVID-19 crisis and their impact on cognitive, mental and functional health.

The second Research axis focuses on innovative strategies based on the optimization of individuals’ intrinsic capacity and/or environments (coordinated by Hélène Sauzéon):

As an example of strategies based on optimised environments, the French Alzheimer village opened in 2020 in the city of Dax is an experimental village, hosting 120 persons with Alzheimer’s disease. Built like a traditional village with a historic center, medical institution stigmas are avoided to make the environment feel home-like. Equipped with places to live (restaurant, hair salon, grocery, library…), it aims at providing a home-like environment optimizing the opportunities for participating in daily activities and social life with other people. A 5-year research program evaluating whether this model is successful compared to traditional nursing homes is ongoing.
