Korean society is aging, and the number of elderly single-person households is increasing. This study is interested in the electricity consumption behavior of elderly single-person households. The research questions are: 1) What influence female single-person households’ appliance energy consumption? 2) How do these factors translate into household electricity consumption? 3) Do the practices and experiences of elderly female single-person households’ electricity consumption reproduce and influence each other, and if so, in what ways? In-depth interviews were conducted for data collection and analyzed it based on social practice theory. As a result, this study found the fact that various factors such as meaning, tool, procedure, relationship, and experience played a role. The influencing factors were categorized into personal, material, and social dimensions. At the personal dimension, the image given to an appliance could either increase or decrease its power consumption. On the material dimension, the size of the living space and the structure of the house influenced the decision on the size and number of specific appliances and their operation. At the social dimension, relationships with children influenced appliance use and electricity consumption.

Introduction
Ageing with disability has posed a great challenge in both social and family care. Older adults are more vulnerable to getting affected in subjective well-being. This study wants to explore whether age-friendly environment (in family and society) plays a role in the association between disability and subjective well-being.
Methods
We conducted a cross-sectional survey in Zhejiang Province, China, and used multi-stage stratified random sampling to recruit participants. Complete data were obtained from 3100 participants, among them 853 were disabled. We adopted multivariable logistic regression to explore the relationship between disability, age-friendly family and social environment, and subjective well-being.
Results
Multivariable logistic regression showed older adults without disability were more likely to feel satisfied with life (OR=2.27, p ＜0.001). Age-friendly environment displayed a significant positive effect on satisfaction of older adults (in family, OR=1.20, p ＜0.001; in society, OR=1.30, p ＜0.001). Meanwhile, these positive effects helped narrow the gap between older adults with and without disability by 0.35 and 0.62 respectively.
Discussion
Age-friendly environment, both in family and society, could help reduce the impact of disability on the subjective well-being in later life. We call for attention in building a more age-friendly environment.

This presentation will describe the growing problem globally of elder abuse with particular emphasis on family perpetrated elder financial exploitation. It is based on research to identify risk and protective factors of elder abuse and elder family financial exploitation that used mixed methods involving in-depth interviews and a survey. Convenience sampling was used to recruit U.S. adults with relatives 60 or older who appointed relatives as their fiduciary to manage their affairs later when needed. Transcripts were analyzed using constructivist grounded theory. It identified risk and protective factors influencing whether or not EFFE occurred, identifying new factors not found in previous research. A research limitation was the somewhat homogeneous sample, not representative of the U.S. population.

This unpublished part of the presentation will identify research still needed and describe strategies translating research into intervention, such as coalition building, public and professional education, and policy advocacy strategies to prevent, reduce the risk of EFFE, and how to identify it more quickly. Attendees will be asked to respond at the time to a brief questionnaire intended to identify potential researchers who want to conduct EFFE research in their own counties. The methodological approach going forward will be determined by those interested.

This research aimed to investigate the elderly dietary behavior regarding the utilization of community forest food plants in Tha Kham, Trat Province. The research utilized interview methods with elderly residents who used five types of community forest food plants in their cooking, namely Cowa (Garcinia cowa), Seablite (Suaeda maritima), Malva nut (Scaphium scaphigerum), Crateva (Crateva magna), and Bustard cardamom (Etlingera pavieana). There were 62 elderly participated in the study. It was found that Cowa (82.3%) was the most easily obtainable plant, followed by Bustard cardamom (74.2%) and Crateva (40.3%). Seablite (79.0%) and Malva nut (40.3%) were the most challenging to find. The majority of the participants preferred foods with multiple flavors (35.5%) and commonly consumed dishes with two side dishes (45.2%). Regarding the utilization of community forest food plants, all participants consumed dishes made from Cowa the most (100%), while Seablite was consumed the least (1.6%). The choice of these food plants was influenced by their local origin and long-standing consumption, with knowledge passed down from previous generations. It was observed that participants used Cowa and Bustard cardamom once a week, often preparing dishes such as sour curry, tom yum, red curry, and chili paste (48.4%).

Aimed to bring together two generations, 18-22s with 60 + & try to understand if the different generations find relevance in one another. Said was carried over 6 discussions - fashion, education, food, time & connection. Post sharing, the participants created a fabric panel, part of a quilt.

Qualitative research method was used including art as medium. Aside the discussions, participants were asked to journal. The study was experiential, hence feelings/emotions played an important role. The data collected was through the journals, fabric quilt and observations by researcher.

The data shows that the generations found common elements in each other hence still relevant to one another. Both generations were open to listening and topics offered stories, lessons & knowledge.

The veterans were predominately from the southern of Malta and attending Active Aging B'Bugia. The youths were from various locations, however, all were/are UoM students.

Time and commitment for 6 sessions was difficult.

A lack of community & national spaces available for different generations to meet is also lacking.

The hands-on study created a space where values & knowledge were shared empowering elders and youths alike.

Recommendations: replace with different generations to see the outcomes, create community events for dialogue.

Introduction: Food insecurity is characterised by insufficient access to safe, nutritious food and often intensifies in old age. This study was conducted among community-living elderly in Malta. It sought to determine their food security, exploring dietary intake, food acquisition methods, perceptions of dietary sufficiency and healthy eating, nutrition information sources, and related challenges.


Method(s): A sequential mixed-methodology strategy was adopted involving a survey
and focus groups. A survey was conducted with individuals over 65 years recruited via Active Ageing Centres, social media posts and snowballing. Focus group sessions were organised at three Centres.

Findings: Elderly participants were proficient in food accessibility and preparation, and consumed varied meals daily. Dietary restrictions, living alone, a lack of motivation to cook and physical difficulties presented obstacles to preferred food choices. Food preparation predominantly remained a female responsibility. Lunches were more substantial than dinners. There was a desire for more education on nutrition and healthy eating, to help manage multiple health conditions.

Conclusions: Challenges stemmed from physical functionality, specific dietary needs and diminished motivation or lack of knowledge to maintain a healthy diet. Further research is required to determine nutritional adequacy, solutions to challenges and the status of unsurveyed persons, especially the very old.
