This proposal requests support to continue the Teaching Nursing Home (TNH), a multidisciplinary program project entering its tenth consecutive year of funding. This TNH grant represents a further coordination of resources relating to research on health problems of the aged in the nursing home and in the community, and crosses institutional and disciplinary lines. Participating organizations include: the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Montefiore Medical Center, the four associated long term care facilities, and College of Mount Saint Vincent School of Nursing. Six research protocols are organized around a service core, which includes a shared database, shared data management and analysis, and shared pathology resources. Of the six component research projects three are current: dementia, age-associated memory impairment, and congestive heart failure; three are new: exercise, a community survey, and event-related potentials. the core populations from which these projects will derive their subjects consist of individuals within the TNH system itself, those from the community enrolled in an earlier balance and gait study, and the Bronx Aging Study. A new source of community subjects will be the Norwood- Montefiore Aging Study. These core populations will provide an interactive group for the study of prevalent aging health issues: (a) dementia (projects 1,2,5): the vascular contribution compared to traditional Alzheimer's disease, detection of early dementia, and role of evoked potentials; (b) diastolic cardiac dysfunction (project 3): its relationship to congestive heart failure; (c) aging in community dwellers (project 4): factors affecting transitions in life events; (d) exercise in the very old (project 6): evaluating cardiac stress testing for entry into an exercise program in the nursing home. Insights gained from fundamental research and clinical studies on these major health issues could modify geriatric practices and improve quality of life in the very old.

该提案请求支持继续教学疗养院（TNH）， 跨学科计划项目进入连续第十年 资金。 这项 TNH 赠款代表了资源的进一步协调 有关养老院老年人健康问题的研究 在社区中，并且跨越机构和学科界限。 参与组织包括：阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦学院 医学、蒙蒂菲奥里医疗中心、四个相关的长期护理 设施和圣文森特山护理学院学院。 六 研究协议是围绕服务核心组织的，其中包括 共享数据库、共享数据管理和分析、共享病理 资源。 六个组成研究项目中的三个正在进行： 痴呆、与年龄相关的记忆障碍和充血性心力衰竭； 其中三个是新的：锻炼、社区调查和与事件相关的潜力。 这些项目将从中衍生出其主题的核心人群 由 TNH 系统内的个人组成，来自 社区参加了早期的平衡和步态研究，以及布朗克斯 老化研究。 社区主题的新来源将是诺伍德- 蒙蒂菲奥里衰老研究。 这些核心人群将提供互动 普遍的老龄化健康问题研究小组：(a) 痴呆症 （项目1、2、5）：与传统的血管贡献相比 阿尔茨海默病、早期痴呆的检测以及诱发的作用 潜力； (b) 舒张性心功能不全（项目3）：其关系 充血性心力衰竭； (c) 社区居民的老龄化（项目4）： 影响生活事件转变的因素； (d) 老年人锻炼 （项目 6）：评估开始运动时的心脏压力测试 疗养院的计划。 从基础研究和 对这些主要健康问题的临床研究可能会改变老年人的健康状况 实践并提高老年人的生活质量。
