Background And Objectives: Adverse childhood and adult experiences can have far-reaching impacts and, when coupled with typical aging-related changes, may impede the achievement of a suitable person-environment fit for aging adults. The objective of our study was to determine whether extant literature connects older adults with trauma history to successfully aging in place.
Research Design And Methods: We proposed a conceptual model regarding trauma history, adaptive capacity of aging adults, and trauma-informed supports for aging in place. We conducted a scoping review using 6 databases (keywords: older adult(s), aging in place, housing, trauma), with a full review of 32 articles.
Results: Insights included: (a) Aging in place does not have to mean living in the same house over time. (b) The uncertainty of the aging process can be traumatic and can be exacerbated by previous traumatic experiences. (c) Environmental sensitivities can result from previous traumatic experiences and cause further trauma. (d) Housing precarity is a traumatic experience. (e) Permanent supportive housing is an important resource for people in crisis. (f) Community supports are critical to aging in place.
Discussion And Implications: Our review revealed insights about aging in place and trauma, but did not connect the vulnerabilities specific to aging adults with personal trauma histories to aging in place. Research is needed that confirms the relationship between history of traumatic experiences and difficulties with aging in place as well as trauma-informed approaches that can mitigate housing-related stressors and foster community-living environments that provide equitable access to aging in place.

A significant proportion of childhood cancer survivors experience persistent health problems related to cancer or cancer treatment exposures, including accelerated or early onset of aging. Survivors are more likely than non-cancer peers to present a frail phenotype suggestive of reduced physiologic reserve and have symptoms that interfere with function in daily life, including pain. Studies in the general population, mostly among older adults, suggest that pain is a significant contributor to development and progression of frail health.

A substantial number of patients with Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) undergo a nephrectomy, especially in work-up for a kidney transplantation. Currently, there is no evidence-based algorithm to guide clinicians which patients should undergo nephrectomy, the optimal timing of this procedure, or the preferred surgical technique. This systematic review-based consensus statement aimed to answer important questions regarding nephrectomy in ADPKD.
