Summary

The elderly are weakened by the accumulation of chronic diseases. Their acute decompensation often leads to unscheduled hospitalization, which constitutes a breach of care with often serious consequences in terms of morbidity and mortality. Few studies have identified all the risk factors for unscheduled hospitalization in the very elderly. This project deals with the impact of air pollution on the very elderly as a source of physiological decompensations leading to unscheduled hospitalizations, in association with other individual and environmental risk factors. It complements the Rieho cohort that followed 973 elderly people on the same objective and enriches it with the use of sensors measuring the peri-individual atmospheric environment.

Prospective cohort for etiological and prognostic purposes

Subjects benefit from a standardized, comprehensive geriatric evaluation in accordance with the recommendations of good practice during a geriatric consultation. It is completed by a measurement of the gripping force using a dynamometer and a measurement of the respiratory parameters (vital capacity) using a spirometer. The following acts are added to the consultation: the completion of questionnaires, a semi-directed interview focused on the perception of air pollution, the wearing on the chest for one week of an individual mobile physiological signal sensor (DM with CE marking) and the wearing (on the belt or in a bag) for one week of a portable device with two air pollution sensors.
