The purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of dual and single task training on the balance traits of male elderly people. Materials and methods: Twenty elderly subjects who were available and qualified were selected and randomly divided into two groups of 10, including a walking practice group in dual homework conditions and a single practice group. The dual task team performed a specific cognitive task for each individual while walking, and the other group was practicing routine walking. In the pre-test and post-test phases, the selected kinematic parameters of the selected step were measured using the ZBIS analyzer, which included: step width, step length, dual retention percentage, track, velocity, and velocity changeability. The groups performed exercises for 8 weeks, 3 sessions each 60 minutes a week. Findings: The results of statistical analysis of repeated measuers ANOVA (2 × 2) with intra-group time (before and after training) and the inter-group type of exercise showed a significant intra-group effect. Also a significant different was found between groups in mentioned parameters More analysis revealed the intra-group effect for dual task group for step length parameters, dual stance time, tracks, speed, and velocity variability (P≤0.05). This effect was not seen on the step width (P> 0.05). Also a significant different was found between groups in mentioned parameters Conclusion: Walking exercises in dual cognitive situations can improve some of the parameters of the step-up in relation to the balance of male elderly. 266 Special Prevalence of depression and its related factors in retirees of Ahwaz National Oil Company Foroughan Mahshid p Mesbahzad Mehdi Delbari Ahmad Bakhshi Enayatollah p Corresponding Author: Iranian Research Center of Ageing, University of social Welfare and Rehabilitation, Sciences, , University of social Welfare and Rehabilitation, Sciences, Tehran, Iran - Iranian Research Center of Ageing, University of social Welfare and Rehabilitation, Sciences, Tehran, Iran - Department of Biostatistics, Social Determinants of Health Research Center, University of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences, Tehran, Iran 1 6 2018 4 3 0 0 17 04 2018 18 05 2018 TITLE: Frequency of depression and its related factors in the retireded older referred to the Center for the Retired-Ahwaz-NIOC-2014     Abstraet Goal and purpose: World population is aging and depression is one of the most prevalent psychiatric problems in elderly.

The aim of this study was compare different ways concurrent training on some biochemical and anthropometrics in older women. .   Materials and Methods: This quasi-experimental study in which 40 healthy female were randomly divided into 4 groups, endurance- resistance training (1), resistance- endurance training (2), interval training (3),  and control (4). The data analysis with one-way ANOVA showed that intra-session sequence order did not influence the adaptive response. Results: result suggested the experimental group after 8 weeks growth omentin levels, insulin, insulin resistance, WHR and BF no significant changes. However, observed a significant reduction in weight (p=0/017) (similarly in 3 experimental groups) and BMI (p=0/023), fasting glucose (p=0/023), Waist circumference (p=0/006) greater changes in the endurance-resistance and interval groups than the resistance-endurance group. Conclusion: Generally after 8 eight weeks of training do not showed significant reduction in plasma omentin, and significant decrease in weight, BMI, waist circumference and glucose. It seems that elderly people can use different types of combined training, especially endurance-resistance and interval training to control weight, reduce waist circumference, and reduce blood glucose levels. 260 Special Psychometric properties of Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) among elderlies in Tehran using multidimensional Rasch model Noorzad Bahar Minaei Asghar Farokhi Noorali 1 6 2018 4 3 0 0 08 04 2018 05 06 2018 Introduction and purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) when applied to the elderly of Tehran. This research is applied-developmental, descriptive and quantitative. Materials and Methods: The research population was Tehrani elderlies, among which 400 people responded to the Geriatric Depression Scale voluntarily and conveniently. The gathered data on sample’s demographic characteristics and the findings regarding the research items were analyzed by SPSS 18 and R-3.3.3 software. Findings: The results of exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis yielded four factors in the questionnaire. Having determined the unidimensionality of each dimension and examined the item fit—applying Rasch model—and removed misfit items, the psychometric properties of the remained items were estimated by application of the multidimensional Rasch model. The reliability of the questionnaire was estimated by Cronbach's alpha and the reliability coefficient of the multidimensional Rasch model, both of which showed the questionnaire is of adequate reliability. The validity of the Geriatric Depression Scale was examined twice investigating the convergent validity (using the Beck Anxiety Inventory and Beck Depression Inventory) and the construct validity, both of which showed adequate and acceptable validity.The results of examining differential item functioning in men and women groups led to the removal of two items, and in groups of different education levels led to the removal of another two items. The results of reexamining the item fit using the Rasch model showed excellent item fit when the 4-dimensional model was applied. Finally, 21 items out of 30 items of the questionnaire were kept. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the Geriatric Depression Scale, after eliminating inappropriate questions, is a valid and reliable tool which can be used as a acceptable test in Tehran.
