About
This dataset offers an overview of the physical, psychological, and cognitive health of a group of older adults. It includes data gathered by medical experts during clinical assessments, covering areas such as physical activity, nutrition, activity limitations, balance, depression, and cognition. Furthermore, it incorporates parameters derived from devices, like average heart rate per day and average gait speed. This information is carefully linked with details on falls, fractures, and instances of disorientation within the studied group, providing further insight into health trends for individuals aged 55 and above. The dataset also features metrics beyond basic demographics, such as exhaustion levels and grip strength for each person. An analysis of nutrition measures (e.g., Body Mass Index), social interactions (e.g., phone calls), and leisure activities (e.g., clubs) can reveal strong correlations, leading to new strategies for enhancing well-being in elderly populations.

Distribution
The dataset is provided in CSV format, specifically as
Virtual Patient Models_Dataset.csv
. It contains 59 columns and 117 records.Usage
This dataset can be used to gain insights into various factors affecting the health of elderly individuals and to develop interventions that promote elderly health. Ideal applications include:
- Identifying risk factors for adverse health outcomes in older adults, such as falls and fractures, by analysing correlations between medical parameters and adverse events.
- Predicting patients at higher risk of requiring regular hospitalisation or experiencing physical function deterioration using machine learning algorithms to generate real-time risk scores.
- Developing personalised interventions to improve physical, psychological, and cognitive health outcomes based on individual data points.
- Applying simple statistical methods like measuring mean values of key indicators (e.g., balance score, BMI) across different characteristics (e.g., age group) to identify trends.
- Utilising clustering techniques to observe patterns among different indicators.
- Employing logistic regression to identify predictors of specific outcomes in elderly individuals.
- Implementing propensity matching-based approaches to suggest interventions tailored to a person's characteristics.
- Benefiting from theoretical frameworks such as narrative geometry for subjective analysis and verifying objective status via established metrics for psychological conditions.
Coverage
The dataset focuses on a cohort of older adults, specifically those aged 55 and above. Patient ages in the dataset range from 70 to 85 years. The gender distribution is 57% male and 43% female. The questionnaire data (
q_date
) spans from 23 May 2016 to 24 January 2019, with clinical visits (clinical_visit
) also recorded over a similar period.License
