IAGG 2017 World Congress may be underestimated by exposure measurement error, espe- cially in older adults. We examined accelerometer measured PA and SB with all-cause mortality in 6,385 women ages 63–91 followed a mean of 2.5 years. Vector magnitude counts/15-sec epoch from hip worn triaxial accelerometers (required ≥4 of 7 days with ≥10 hr/day wear time) were used to defne time in SB (0–18 counts/15 sec) and total PA (≥19 counts/15 sec; all inten- sities combined) based on cutpoints determined from a calibra- tion study among similarly aged women. Cox regression was used to estimate hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confdence inter- vals (CI) for these associations. There were 271 (4.2%) deaths during 14,212 person-years follow-up. An inverse gradient in mortality rates was observed across incremental PA quartiles: 38.2, 16.5, 13.9, 8.5 per 1,000 person-years (trend, p<.001). Adjusting for accelerometer wear-time, age, and race, corre- sponding HRs (CI) for PA quartiles were 1.00 (referent), 0.50 (0.37–0.69), 0.52 (0.37–0.73), 0.36 (0.24–0.54), trend p<.001. Mortality rates for incremental SB quartiles were 10.5, 13.8, 23.1, and 29.3 per 1,000 person-years (p<.001). Corresponding adjusted HRs (CI) for SB quartiles were 1.00 (referent), 1.19 (0.78–1.82), 1.90 (1.29–2.81), 2.25 (1.53–3.33), trend p<.001. Preliminary additional adjustments for smoking, alcohol, comorbidities and measured physical functioning did not sub- stantively change the pattern of association with mortality for PA or SB. Total PA and SB measured by accelerometry are associated with mortality in older women. Intervening on both behaviors could improve longevity at older ages. MEANING OF LIFE AND PRESERVATION OF COGNITIVE ABILITIES: LINKAGE TO THE PLACE OF LIVING IN OLD AGE A. Kaplan 1 , H. Erel 1,2 , 1. Behavioral Science, NAC, Netanya, Israel, 2. IDC, Herzliya, Israel An old person’s identity in the present decade is the iden- tity of a person rejected by the society in which he lives, and one who society determined should abandon his social func- tions because of chronological age (Hazan, 1996). In such a situation, the question of meaning in life becomes central and dominant (Ryff, 2013). Our work presents a study combining quantitative and qualitative methodologies, which explore the effect of the nature of one’s type of residence on a meaningful lifestyle and the capability to maintain cognitive abilities in old age. Based on the concepts of meaning, presented by Frankl (1946) and categorization performed by Fontana (1977), we created three levels of signifcance, which examined using multi-qualitative indicators. Along with these, performance capabilities were also examined with emphasis on cognitive inhibition, which is age-sensitive cognitive competence. The research was based on 60 participants who lived at home and another 57 living in different types of residential settings out- side their home. Our fndings indicate that there is dependence between the residential style and the ability to lead a meaning- ful life during old age. We found more people with high mean- ing among those who lived in their own homes, compared to others living in other residential settings. In addition, their inhi- bition capabilities were clearly better. Our work inspires new thinking about the appropriate style of living for elderly per- sons in a postmodern society, and thoughts on the importance of further integration into the existing social system. SESSION 4565 (POSTER) TECHNOLOGY AND AGING HUMANIZING TECHNOLOGY FOR TELEREHABILITATION OF STROKE PATIENTS C. Tan 2,1,3 , V. Lou 2 , G.C. Koh 1 , 1. NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SINGAPORE, Singapore, Singapore, 2. The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Hong Kong, 3. SIM University, Singapore, Singapore Background: Telerehabilitation innovates rehabilitation of stroke patients in active aging context. With the growing need of healthcare workers in a tight labour market and ris- ing demand for more effective means of rehabilitation which can improve patients’ outcomes, there is a pressing need for modernized solutions. Such an improved approach which leverages on the widespread confuence of technology and service innovation can better alignment of fnancial incen- tives for both patients and service providers to promote wiser spending. The key element of telerehabilitation is a human- izing technological framework which the stroke patients and their caregivers enjoy the intuitiveness and friendly engage- ment of the solution. Method: This paper will touch on the challenges and needs which are unique to stroke patients. For them to per- form rehabilitation on their own with a new technological intervention. The system has been developed by a team of inter-disciplinary background with regular meetings, seam- less communication and continuous revisions from patient trial and feedback before the formal implementation. It con- sists of an iPad for Facetime with therapists and motion sen- sors to track the patients’ movements. Findings: The system was found to be user friendly with high level of cognition. The design of technology, the user interface, and its seamless integration into the patients’ reha- bilitation regime, illustrating the need to consider human factors in system design and implementation from the per- spectives of practitioners, systems team and eventually, the policy makers. Implications: The effectiveness of telerehabilitation will depend a lot on humanizing the technology, including its user friendliness and cognition.

Finnish Association for Mental Health, Helsinki, Finland Given a changing demographic landscape, the promo- tion of older adults’ wellbeing and independence is a public health issue. In recent years, the potential of technology- based resources for the promotion of wellbeing in later life has been highlighted.
