The project aims to determine the factors that negatively impact older adults’ ability to engage in conversation. This is an important health issue; conversations are essential for communicating needs and maintaining social links; reduced social engagement leads to serious health problems and anticipates cognitive decline. The project will compile profiles of older adults' auditory-visual conversation behavior and indices of perceptual, cognitive and social skills. A path model will link these data to ratings of social engagement and satisfaction. By identifying factors leading to low ranked conversations, evidence-based guidelines can be developed for older adults and their carers to enhance communication and improve health and well-being.

该项目旨在确定对老年人参与对话能力产生负面影响的因素。这是一个重要的健康问题；对话对于沟通需求和维持社会联系至关重要；社交活动减少会导致严重的健康问题，并可能导致认知能力下降。该项目将编制老年人的视听对话行为概况以及感知、认知和社交技能指数。路径模型将把这些数据与社会参与和满意度的评级联系起来。通过确定导致对话排名较低的因素，可以为老年人及其照顾者制定基于证据的指导方针，以加强沟通，改善健康和福祉。
