Contrast Sensitivity Impairment Is Associated With Limitations of Physical Functioning and Activities of Daily Living Among Older Adults
Purpose: Contrast sensitivity (CS), the ability to see objects against their background, is an important component of visual function. The effect of contrast sensitivity impairment (CSI) on physical functioning (PF) is not well documented. Methods: This study obtained data from the Aging, Demographics, and Memory Study. Baseline CS was measured, and self-reported PF, activities of daily living (ADLs), and instrumental activities of daily living (…
Widowhood and cognition among older women in India
The study highlights the significant disadvantage in cognitive functioning among older widowed women in India. The study also provides evidence on potential mediators, suggesting differential effects of mediators at different stages of widowhood
Long-term household material socioeconomic resources and cognitive health in a population-based cohort of older adults in rural northeast South Africa, 2001–2015
Material resources owned by households that affect daily living conditions may be salient for cognitive health during aging, especially in low-income settings, but there is scarce evidence on this topic. We investigated relationships between long-term trends in household material resources and cognitive function among older adults in a population-representative study in rural South Africa. Data were from baseline interviews with 4580 adults aged …
Subjective social position and cognitive function in a longitudinal cohort of older, rural South African adults, 2014–2019
Background The relationship between subjective social position (SSP) and cognitive ageing unclear, especially in low-income settings. We aimed to investigate the relationship between SSP and cognitive function over time among older adults in rural South Africa. Methods Data were from 3771 adults aged ≥40 in the population-representative ‘Health and Ageing in Africa: A Longitudinal Study of an INDEPTH Community in South Africa’ from 2014/2015 (bas…
The Effect of Childhood Socioeconomic Position and Social Mobility on Cognitive Function and Change Among Older Adults
These findings emphasize the impact of childhood SEP on cognitive trajectories among older adults. Upward mobility may partially compensate for disadvantage early in life but does not protect against cognitive decline
A Comparison of the Prevalence of Dementia in the United States in 2000 and 2012
Importance: The aging of the US population is expected to lead to a large increase in the number of adults with dementia, but some recent studies in the United States and other high-income countries suggest that the age-specific risk of dementia may have declined over the past 25 years. Clarifying current and future population trends in dementia prevalence and risk has important implications for patients, families, and government programs. Object…
Hospitalizations and Deaths Among Adults With Cardiovascular Disease Who Underuse Medications Because of Cost
CONTEXT: It is well-documented that the financial burden of out-of-pocket expenditures for prescription drugs often leads people with medication-sensitive chronic illnesses to restrict their use of these medications. Less is known about the extent to which such cost-related medication underuse is associated with increases in subsequent hospitalizations and deaths. OBJECTIVE: We compared the risk of hospitalizations among 5401 and of death among 6…
Caregiving Behavior Is Associated With Decreased Mortality Risk
Traditional investigations of caregiving link it to increased caregiver morbidity and mortality, but do not disentangle the effects of providing care from those of being continuously exposed to an ailing loved one with serious health problems. We explored this possible confound in a national, longitudinal survey of elderly married individuals ( N = 3,376). Results showed that spending at least 14 hr per week providing care to a spouse predicted d…
Does caring for your spouse harm one's health? Evidence from a United States nationally-representative sample of older adults
The purpose of this article is to investigate the relationship between spousal care-giving and declines in functioning and self-rated health among older care-givers. The authors used data from the 2000 and 2002 waves of the United States Health and Retirement Study, a biennial longitudinal survey of a nationally representative cohort of adults aged 50 or more years. Two outcomes were examined, declines in functioning and declines in self-rated he…
Trends in the prevalence and mortality of cognitive impairment in the United States
BACKGROUND: Recent medical, demographic, and social trends might have had an important impact on the cognitive health of older adults. To assess the impact of these multiple trends, we compared the prevalence and 2-year mortality of cognitive impairment (CI) consistent with dementia in the United States in 1993 to 1995 and 2002 to 2004. METHODS: We used data from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), a nationally representative population-based …
The impact of own and spouse's urinary incontinence on depressive symptoms
The Health Effects of Restricting Prescription Medication Use Because of Cost
BACKGROUND: High out-of-pocket expenditures for prescription medications could lead people with chronic illnesses to restrict their use of these medications. Whether adults experience adverse health outcomes after having restricted medication use because of cost is not known. METHODS: We analyzed data from 2 prospective cohort studies of adults who reported regularly taking prescription medications using 2 waves of the Health and Retirement Study…
Informal Caregiving for Diabetes and Diabetic Complications Among Elderly Americans
Diabetes imposes a substantial burden on elderly individuals, their families, and society, both through increased rates of disability and the significant time that informal caregivers must spend helping address the associated functional limitations. Future evaluations of the costs of diabetes, and the cost-effectiveness of diabetes interventions, should consider the significant informal caregiving costs associated with the disease
National estimates of the quantity and cost of informal caregiving for the elderly with dementia
The Explosion in Paid Home Health Care in the 1990s
OBJECTIVE: Public expenditures for home health care grew rapidly in the 1990s, but it remains unclear to whom the additional services were targeted. This study tests whether the rapidly increasing expenditures were targeted to the elderly with high levels of disability and low levels of social support, 2 groups that have historically been higher users of paid home health and nursing home services. METHODS: The Asset and Health Dynamics Study, a n…
