Fitness for work assessment is inherent to occupational medicine practice, whether at the pre-employment stage, or when a person is an established employee. Many occupational health practitioners are involved in the assessment of fitness of workers to undertake safety critical work, for example, driving a heavy goods vehicle or a train or working in health care.

متن کاملPrevalence of ageing-associated cognitive decline in an elderly population.
Different diagnostic definitions have been proposed for use in the characterization of mild cognitive disorders associated with ageing. Previously, we reported a high (38.4%) prevalence of age-associated memory impairment (AAMI) using the National Institute of Mental Health criteria in an elderly population.

متن کاملPredictors of ageing-related decline across multiple cognitive functions
It is critical to discover why some people's cognitive abilities age better than others'. We applied multivariate growth curve models to data from a narrow-age cohort measured on a multi-domain IQ measure at age 11 years and a comprehensive battery of thirteen measures of visuospatial, memory, crystallized, and processing speed abilities at ages 70, 73, and 76 years (n = 1091 at age 70).

متن کاملComplex Decision Making: The Roles of Cognitive Limitations, Cognitive Decline and Ageing

We focus on choices about health insurance, health care, and retirement planning, all of which are very important for the well-being of the elderly. Our review suggests that consumers in general, and the elde...
متن کاملDistinct mechanisms of impairment in cognitive ageing and Alzheimer's disease.
Similar manifestations of functional decline in ageing and Alzheimer's disease obscure differences in the underlying cognitive mechanisms of impairment. We sought to examine the contributions of top-down attentional and bottom-up perceptual factors to visual self-movement processing in ageing and Alzheimer's disease. We administered a novel heading discrimination task requiring subjects to dete...
