Is loneliness killing our seniors?
BODY:
Could making people more connected to their communities lower the health costs to the state? And how can this be achieved? Kathryn Ryan talks to Chris Phillipson, who is working with New Zealand researchers trying to quantify the issue.
EXTENDED BODY:
Loneliness and isolation in older people is increasingly linked to poor health and shorter life spans.
Professor Chris Phillipson talks with Kathryn Ryan about loneliness, the transition to retirement and developing age-friendly urban environments.
Professor Philipson says that in later life the majority of people experience some decline in their relationships, but it is important to distinguish loneliness from social isolation – lonely people experience a lack of 'quality' (closeness) in their relationships (often following the loss of a partner) while social isolation describes the sheer absence of 'quantity'.
“We go through life protected – most people – by a 'convoy or supporters'. The issue in later life is that convoy comes under attack – people lose partners, they lose friends. So you get to a point where your convoy is pretty diminished.”
Although New Zealand is leading the way in terms of older employees (with over 20 percent of people over 65 working) an ageing workforce also puts pressure on employers, Professor Philipson warns.
“This will demand a revolution in training – so that people get much better training from their 50s onwards to stay in the workplace for a longer period.”
He wants to shift the focus from placing older people retirement villages to developing age-friendly urban environments. Simple measures such as plenty of benches and seats designed for older people and easy, accessible transport can help a lot, he says.
“You’ll have a majority of neighbourhoods in New Zealand by the 2030s that will have more than one in five of the population 65 and over so we need to make sure those neighbourhoods are right for older people.”
The less-visible unpaid work that older people do within communities needs to be taken into account, too, says Professor Philipson.
“Communities are held up by older people as volunteers, families are held together by older people as carers. So you have to be careful, if you get people working much, much longer they’re not going to be able to continue with the same volunteering, they’re not going to be able to continue with the same amount of caring. So governments, then, have to pick up that tab.”
Professor Chris Phillipson a is Professor of Gerontotogy and former Executive Director of the Manchester Institute for Collaborative Research on Ageing.

Zenith Irfan: born to ride
BODY:
Kathryn Ryan talks to 21 year old Pakistani woman Zenith Irfan who has been fulfilling a dream of her late father's – to ride across Pakistan on a motorcycle.
EXTENDED BODY:
Zenith Irfan, 21, is a Pakistani woman who has been fulfilling a dream of her late father's – to ride across Pakistan on a motorcycle.
But for a woman in a staunchly Muslim country, where many women are expected to live more traditional lives, Zenith is taking her motorbike odyssey a step further by often riding solo.
She is joined from time to time by others, including her brother.
Zenith is documenting her journey through social media on Facebook with photographs and reflections on those that she meets along the way.
She went on two motorcycle journeys last year - one solo journey from her home in Lahore to Kashmir and a second, with her brother, to the border of China in the north-east of the country.
Zenith said the beauty of her own country came as a surprise.
“On the first journey the landscape moved me to tears; because I haven’t seen Kashmir before and I wanted to go to Kashmir first because I heard a lot about it.
“They used to call it a paradise on earth, and when I asked them why they called it that they said, ‘you’ll know when you go there’. This is the reason why I wanted to go to Kashmir first.”
It was the first time she had seen snow, she says.
“I became so emotional that I literally had to stop my bike for a moment and experience this scene for a brief moment and I wanted to take it all in.”
Zenith says that, when travelling, she averages up to 300km a day all on a modest – and in Pakistan, ubiquitous – motorbike.
“The Honda CG125 is pretty common in Pakistan. It’s a pretty small one because it’s only a 125cc and most motorcyclists prefer a bike that is above 700cc, but I had no other options.”
Zenith’s appearance on a motorbike caused quite a stir in some remote pockets of Pakistan – particularly when people realised she was a young woman.
“People don’t know I’m a girl. Because I have a bit of a tom-boyish attire and I’m all geared up they cannot comprehend if I’m a man or a woman.
“Only if I was to stop and ask directions they would say, ‘Oh my God, she’s a girl!’”
She says some of the people she encountered assumed she was from India or Sri Lanka, not quite believing a local woman would be so adventurous.
One of the most beautiful places she visited was Skardu in the north east of the country.
“I didn’t want to leave. I think that was the most beautiful place I’d ever seen. Everything was so lusciously green, everything was pure... The air, there was something very different about the air. The people were so friendly.”
She says most people she meets support her.
“Many would say I should continue to do this for women’s empowerment.”
Although she has encountered harassment.
“On the road one guy told me I shouldn’t be riding – women are not allowed to ride according to our religion, Islam. I said that’s not true because my religion doesn’t prohibit me from riding anywhere. I know what religion I follow.
“So I just gave him a smile and that comment gave me more motivation to go even further and ride even more.”
The inspiration for her travels, Zenith says, came when she was 12 and her mother showed her a picture of her late father while he was in the army. Her father died when Zenith was just 10 months old.
“He died young and I wanted to know more about him, what was his passion. He really wanted to go on this crazy motorcycle journey.”
Her mother told her the best way to honour him was by following his dream to travel.
“You are his eldest daughter, and you can do it for him” her mother told her.

Breath-testing kids to fight obesity
BODY:
Thousands of school students will be breath-tested, in an attempt to understand the role of sugar in childhood obesity.
EXTENDED BODY:
In a world-first, Kiwi school students will help scientists find out how fructose affects the development of obesity, particularly for Māori and Pacific Islanders.
The research, involving about 2000 students in its first year, would be carried out in partnerships with schools, with teachers and students undertaking some of the experiments themselves.
Auckland University Maurice Wilkins Centre Professor Peter Shepherd said the study would look at why some people were more likely to absorb fructose than others.
He said much less was known about fructose, which was found in fruit, than glucose which was found in starches.
"Sucrose - our white table sugar or even our brown table sugar, really all the things we call sugar - are actually half glucose and half fructose."
He said it was the body's absorption of fructose that could lead to obesity.
"We all absorb glucose very well, but we all have huge differences in the way we absorb and metabolise the fructose part of it.
"Fructose is way worse for you - our body is hard-wired to use glucose and it's the main energy source in our body and it's always in our circulation."
But too much fructose could lead to fat deposits and uric acid, which caused gout, he said.
Parents shouldn't worry too much about kids eating too much fruit, however, with Prof Shepherd saying although it might not be best to have five servings all at once, eating in moderation each day was fine.
New Zealand the perfect place for this study
Prof Shepherd said the idea for the study in New Zealand had come about from good communication between the centre and school teachers.
"They're a really highly motivated cohort and we're really lucky in New Zealand to have such great high school biology teachers out there.
"They've been really asking us - so we've got lot's of volunteer schools but we'll focus initially mainly on schools in Auckland," he said.
And New Zealand and its can-do attitude had been perfect for that.
"Because we're small and we sort of all know each other, and we can sort of link up with all the school teachers, it's a lot easier for us to do all this.
"It's actually snowballed and we've got way more support than I thought we would get for this.
Ōtāhuhu College, Waitakere College, Epsom Girls Grammar School, Dillworth, Opotiki College and two colleges in Nelson would be taking part in the pilot, which would involve a simple breath test for hydrogen, which would measure fructose absorption.
"There's two things that can happen to [the fructose], it can get absorbed in the gut and the bloodstream, or it can keep going through your bowels and come out the other end.
"And if it does the latter, then it will meet all the bacteria that are in your colon and it will start making gas and that gas will get into your blood and some of that gas will come out through your lungs - and we can test for that with a breath test."
Teachers would begin taking students through the pilot programmes next year, and an app which fed medical information into databases would help make initial results available fairly quickly.
Why Māori and Pacific?
He said the Māori and Pasifika communities were suffering the most from metabolic problems, and the first tests would be at Ōtāhuhu College, which had a strong Māori and Pacific Island contingent.
He said one theory was that people living in warmer parts of the world had evolved to be better at absorbing the fructose from fruit because it was more likely to grow well in warmer places.
He said the trend of fructose absorption did tend to affect people from similarly warm places like the Middle East and Africa as well, but in a different way.
"The rates of obesity in places like the Arab countries where they use a lot of dates as a food source, which have a very high content of sugar for example, and the type of issues with obesity you get in countries like India tend to be more about the fat depositing in the liver rather than what we would think of as obesity with it under the skin."
But all those countries tended to have problems with excess deposition of fat in one form or another.
"I think glucose is the most available sugar in our diet, it comes from starches and we've evolved to become really dependent on it as a sugar. The other one, it comes from fruits and sources like that and it was available seasonally.
"I guess it's better to have some energy on board than none at all in historical times, so it's a back-up energy source but it's certainly not the preferred one for our body."
He said as well as looking at preventing obesity, the team wanted to use the information to link it to educational messages and learning at schools, and also encourage those students to get into science.
"They're also schools that tend to have lower participation in science and people coming through to Year 11, 12, 13 with science subjects.
"What we're hoping this will do is enthuse and excite students about science and encourage them to keep going in those science subjects."

Studying Billy Apple's soiled tissues from 1974
BODY:
Academics are using soiled tissues from Billy Apple's controversial exhibition, Body Activities, to study how our gut bacteria has changed over time.
EXTENDED BODY:
When Billy Apple's exhibition Body Activities opened at London's Serpentine Gallery in 1974, it caused so much controversy that authorities were ordered to close it.
Why? Because the work was made of tissues covered in the artist’s own bodily fluids and excrement.
When Apple dismantled the exhibition, instead of throwing the exhibits out, he carefully stored the samples.
And now, they are being used for scientific discovery.
Dr Justin O'Sullivan from the Auckland University-based Liggins Institute said the samples offered a valuable insight.
“These sorts of samples are a bit like gold dust.”
Apple has provided recent samples to allow a comparison to be made.
So what is science doing with the esteemed artist’s ancient wipings?
The researchers are taking the samples and extracting all the DNA out of them, and looking to see which bacteria are present in the samples 40 years ago, and which ones are present in the samples today.
“We’re able to test and see whether his flora has changed markedly between these two time points,” Dr O’Sullivan says.
He says bacteria are an interface between you and your environment and an interface between health and disease.
“By understanding these bacteria we can start to understand the development of some of the non-communicable disorders - insulin resistance or diabetes.
“It’s a really rapidly growing area of science.”

Lucie Green: Journey to the Centre of the Sun
BODY:
Everyone and everything that has ever lived owes its existence to the Sun. Professor Lucie Green is a solar physicist and host of The Sky at Night BBC series and the author of the new book 15 Million Degrees: A Journey to the Centre of the Sun
EXTENDED BODY:
Everyone and everything that has ever lived owes its existence to the Sun. It's the star of our solar system, controlling the weather and so much more. But the Sun remains a mystery in many ways, says Professor Lucie Green, a solar physicist and host of The Sky at Night BBC series.
Her first book, 15 Million Degrees: A Journey to the Centre of the Sun, sheds light on what we know about this important feature in our daily lives and what we might learn from the first Solar Orbiter mission to the Sun.
So what exactly is the Sun? It is a question that scientists have grappled with for hundreds if not thousands of years, Prof Green says.
“It’s incredibly large – you could fill over a million Earths inside it making the Sun is by far the biggest object in the solar system.”
Although the Sun has no solid surface, it's actually vast ball of very hot gas - 15 million degrees C at its core - and it contains over 99.9 percent of all the mass in the solar system.
The consequence of being so massive is that it generates power and light. Nuclear reactions happen in the centre of the Sun which allow it to ‘cannibalise’ itself as it turns its own material into the energy that we receive as sunlight and heat.

Angelic Acapella - The Wellington Filipino Community Choir
BODY:
Folk songs commemorating the lost lives of children living amongst the infamous "Smokey Mountain" rubbish dumps of Manila in the Philippines, and more, when Lynda Chanwai-Earle hears angelic acapella sung by the Wellington Filipino Community Choir.
EXTENDED BODY:
Bahay Kubo is the first of three specific folk songs the Wellington Filipino Community Choir are rehearsing tonight. Arranged acapella-style especially for the choir, Bahay Kubo is sung in the Tagalog language and celebrates culture and Filipinos' other favourite subject – food!
Bahay Kubo is made out of bamboo and nypa – a type of palm.” Meia Lopez tells me. “Traditionally you’d be self-sustaining, so you’d plant your own vegetables and fruit trees around the house – it’s very popular, especially with kids; it represents idyllic life in the province.”
The twenty strong choir gather once a week for rehearsal at the Wesley Centre in the heart of the capital and as I arrive, the aroma of home cooked Filipino cuisine reaches me at the same time as the music. The choir, who are funded by the Bulwagan Foundation, eat together and sing together and I'm told there would be even more home-cooked food available but the group are missing their favourite cook – Flora Nogoy’s mother. “My mum is 83 and she loves cooking for the community, but she’s touring the U.S. at the moment.”
The Filipino Community
Well over 40,000 Filipinos live in New Zealand’s population, making up 1% of the population and comprising the third largest Asian migrant group after Chinese. Around 5,100 live in the Wellington region. Filipino festivals are renowned for their celebration of food, dance and song. It’s the song part of their culture which spurred the creation of the choir to mark the state visit to NZ of former Philippine’s President Fidel Ramos in 1995.
We want to encourage people to join us, if you love food and music!
The second folk song the choir are practicing tonight is titled Maya. Dinna O’Meara explains that it is about their original national bird, the small and industrious sparrow.
“The essence of the song is saying that your life will be better if you are industrious, a hard-worker like the Maya, the sparrow.” Sadly the little Maya was usurped by the Philippines Eagle in 1995, when President Ramos decided the tiny bird was not impressive enough to be their national icon.
The choirs' final song, another acapella work called Paradiso – Smokey Mountain, was composed by Ryan Cayabyab and commemorates the children living in the infamous rubbish dump slums of Tondo, Manilla. Shut down in 1995, Smokey Mountain had operated for more than 40 years, consisting of over two million metric tons of waste. Decomposing flammable substances led to numerous fires which resulted in many deaths.
“It’s really like a protest song;" says Flora. "It’s the reality of life. It’s the other side of beaches and nice cosmopolitan Manila, it’s the Filipino spirit of positivity, that despite the fact you have nothing, there is still dignity. It’s a really good song for realising that there is hope.”
As the rehearsal winds up for another week, the choir wish each other goodnight in as festive a manner as the evening began. Happy Birthday rings out in honour of three members of their choir and then everyone tucks into a very large, purple cake; the servings as generous as their songs.
The Choir’s next public performance will be in November this year at the Filipino Community Centre in Petone, Wellington. For more details check out the Bulwagan Foundation.

Steve Tew on the bug found in All Blacks' Sydney hotel room
BODY:
New Zealand Rugby CEO Steve Tew says police should have been contacted earlier when a bug was discovered in the All Blacks hotel room in Sydney.
EXTENDED BODY:
The All Blacks have been sweeping their meeting rooms for electronic listening devices for "quite a long time", New Zealand Rugby chief executive Steve Tew says.
A listening device was discovered in a meeting room at a hotel in Sydney where the All Blacks were staying ahead of the first test in the Rugby Championship against Australia.
During a news conference this morning, Mr Tew said the team had previously been suspicious about listening devices, and finding the device was "an unfortunate confirmation of their suspicions".
He said the All Blacks' management had been taking "appropriate precautions for quite a long time".
"The very fact that we scanned the room for a bug would suggest that we are suspicious."
Finding the bug in the room was a serious matter but he said he would not speculate on whether it was intended for listening to the All Blacks.
"Professional sports are big business, you have a lot of people very interested in what is going on, both in and outside of the game."
The reason it took five days for the presence of the bug to be passed on to New South Wales police was because they were waiting for results from an investigation by the hotel, he said.
The hotel's management had been alerted immediately, Mr Tew said, and in hindsight the police should have been alerted earlier.
Checkpoint with John Campbell understands footage from the hotel's security cameras is a significant part of the ongoing inquiry.
Mr Tew said he had received no further information from Australian police about who planted the bug.
