Background: As a result of numerous advantages of Nordic Walking such as the movement simplicity, its affordability and availability for people of various ages and with different levels of fitness, this relatively young physical activity has been developing remarkably for several years. It has the potential of increasing physical activity among elderly people. Defining to what extent practicing Nordic Walking (NW) influences the general level of physical activity and the quality of life of elderly people. Material/Methods: 161 people were examined (93 women and 68 men) at the age of 60 or above. In this group 48 practised NW: 33 women and 15 men. Health self-assessment was determined using the SF-36 questionnaire, whereas the level of physical activity using the SEWL questionnaire. Results: Statistically significant differences were noted (p<0.05) between respondents practising NW and the control group at the level of both physical activity and health selfassessment. Conclusions: Practising NW positively influences the increase of elderly people’s physical activity, translating to the level of health self-assessment.

In Poland the percentage of disabled individuals aged 0-14 years is 3.1%, while in the age group over 70 years it is as high as 45%. The article presents an attempt of a variant estimation of purchase costs of kitchen equipment for the disabled. Three hypothetical types of kitchen designs were investigated: low-budget, medium-budget and high-budget, respectively. Based on literature guidelines and a review of market prices it was established that the costs of the three kitchen design variants are approx. 6000 PLN (1240 €), 42 500 PLN (9870 €) and over 225 000 PLN (52 530 €). A high percentage of the total cost of kitchen equipment may be connected with specialised mechatronic equipment (up to 40% total kitchen cost). In the case of the cheapest kitchen variant a lack of expensive specialised equipment may be compensated by an appropriate layout of typical kitchen components.

Background. Disturbances to the rhythms of the sleep-wake cycle adversely impact the quality of everyday living. Amongst those factors predisposing, causing and consolidating sleeping disorders are inappropriate nutrition and its effect on nutritional status. Objective. To survey by questionnaire the nutritional status and habits in women aged 60-90 years suffering from sleeping disorders. Materials and methods. Subjects were 141 women aged 60-90 years, attending lectures at the Szczecin Humanistic University for Seniors, of whom 110 (78%) were selected as having declared sleep disorders. Three age groups were established, of 60-65 years (n=39), 65-75 years (n=52) and above 75 years (n=19). Anthropometric measurements were performed (body mass and height) and the BMI (Body Mass Index) calculated. Calorific/energy and nutritional values of the daily dietary intakes were assessed in 330 meals using the PDCAAS calculation (Protein Digestibility-Corrected Amino Acid Score). Subjects had previously undergone a two-month pro-health nutrition course. Results. Daily sleeping disorders were declared by 24.5% women, whilst 45.4% demonstrated inappropriate nutrition. Daily dietary intakes showed insufficiencies in the following: calories, consuming assimilative carbohydrates, cellulose, potassium, calcium, vitamin D3 and water. Simultaneously, excessive intake of Na, P, Fe, Zn, Cu and vitamins: A, B2, B6, B12, niacin and C were found. The smallest quantity of nutritious foodstuffs were consumed by the eldest women (significance of p ≤0.05). The share of protein-derived calories was significantly the highest in the 66-75 age group (p ≤0.01). Leucine was the amino acid that limited the biological value of consumed protein. Such dietary faults/errors were due to an inappropriate structure of foodstuff consumption. Conclusion. The dietary intake habits of women in all the age groups were found to be unbalanced in terms of calories and nutritional value, which may affect neurotransmitter synthesis that regulates the sleep and wake cycle along with melatonin homeostasis. It is essential that elderly women are provided with pro-health education covering their nutrition as well as sleeping hygiene.

The aim of the research: discovering the relation between the participation of elderly people in the occupational therapy and their Health-Related Quality of Life. Research material and methods: research was carried out in the public social centres offering the occupational therapy devoted to the elderly people. 95 people whose average age was 72,1 years (58 women and 37 men) were examined. The examinees were divided into two groups: the participants and those who were not involved in the occupational therapy. The method of direct interview using EQ-5D-3L questionnaire - a standard instrument for measuring Health-Related Quality of Life of the elderly people was applied. The results: Seniors involved in occupational therapy reported better HRQL. Difficulties with mobility (<0,05), pain/discomfort (<0,001) and anxiety (<0,001) were substantially more visible around people who did not take part in the occupational therapy. The average self-reported health was better among the occupational therapy participants (<0,001) in comparison with the other elderly people who were not engaged in those activities (76,5 vs. 43,6 respectively). Conclusions: participation in the occupational therapy has a positive effect on the functioning of the elderly people in every sphere of their life: physical, mental and social one. Involvement in the occupations resulted in the improved perception of the Health-Related Quality of Life. Occupational therapy turned out to be an inexpensive and effective method that exerts a positive impact on maintenance of physical and intellectual abilities, social inclusion as well as physical rehabilitation of seniors.

The three age groups of people from Warsaw: children, young adults and elderly people were examined for the prevalence of infection with Pneumocystis jirovecii. Nested PCR was used to amplify fragment of mitochondrial large subunit rRNA of the fungus in samples of oropharyngeal swabs. Nineteen (12.8%) of the 148 examined samples were positive for DNA of P. jirovecii. The samples collected from children were more often positive than the samples from young adults (p = 0.003) or from both groups of adults (p = 0.0029). Moreover, among adults (n = 99) proportion of infected women (n = 6; 12.5%) was significantly higher than men (n = 1; 2%). Results of the research confirm the high prevalence of Pneumocystis infection in children and indirectly point out to children as a possible source of infection for older people.
