Midlife financial stress and cognitive and physical impairments in older age
Job Strain and Trajectories of Cognitive Change Before and After Retirement
Objectives We examined associations between job strain and trajectories of change in cognitive functioning (general cognitive ability plus verbal, spatial, memory, and speed domains) before and after retirement. Methods Data on indicators of job strain, retirement age, and cognitive factors were available from 307 members of the Swedish Adoption/Twin Study of Aging. Participants were followed up for up to 27 years (mean = 15.4, SD = 8.5). Results…
Working conditions mediate the association between social class and physical function in older age in Sweden
The results of this study indicate that working conditions are important in combating the social gradient in healthy aging, contributing to the evidence regarding the magnitude of impact exerted by both the physical and psychosocial work environment separately and in conjunction
Trends in the Mortality Risk of Living Alone during Old Age in Sweden, 1992–2011
Objectives: This study investigates the association between living alone and mortality over a recent 19-year period (1992-2011). Method: Data from a repeated cross-sectional, nationally representative (Sweden) study of adults ages 77 and older are analyzed in relation to 3-year mortality. Results: Findings suggest that the mortality risk associated with living alone during old age increased between 1992 and 2011 ( p = .076). A small increase in t…
Psychosocial working conditions across working life may predict late-life physical function
Promoting a healthier workplace by reducing chronic stress and inducing intellectual stimulation, control, and personal growth may contribute to better late-life physical function
Does the association between leisure activities and survival in old age differ by living arrangement
BACKGROUND: Government policies to promote ageing in place have led to a growing frail population living at home in advanced old age, many of whom live alone. Living alone in old age is associated with adverse health outcomes, but we know little about whether it moderates the health impact of other risk and protective factors. Engagement in leisure activities is considered critical to successful ageing. We investigated whether the association bet…
Work Stressors in Late Midlife and Physical Functioning in Old Age
Work stressors in late midlife are important predictors of physical functioning in older adults. However, women and men seem to be vulnerable to different work stressors
Midlife Work-Related Stress Increases Dementia Risk in Later Life
Midlife work-related stress increases the risk for MCI, dementia, and Alzheimer's disease in later life. The association was not seen after the extended follow-up possibly reflecting selective survival/participation, heterogeneity in dementia among the oldest old, and a critical time window for the effects of midlife stress
Associations between work-related stress in late midlife, educational attainment, and serious health problems in old age
The results underscore the importance of work-related stress for long-term health. Modification to work environment to reduce work stress (e.g., providing opportunities for self-direction/monitoring levels of psychological job demands) may serve as a springboard for the development of preventive strategies to improve public health both before and after retirement
The Association Between Mid-Life Socioeconomic Position and Health After Retirement—Exploring the Role of Working Conditions
Improving physical working conditions may be important for reducing the influence of socioeconomic position on health after retirement
Foster Care and College
Despite an overall increase in college attendance, low-income youth and particularly those in the foster care system are less likely to attend college (Wolanin, 2005). Although youth in foster care report high educational aspirations, as little as 4% obtain a 4-year college degree (Nixon & Jones, 2007). The purpose of this study is to explore differences in educational aspirations and expectations among foster care and nonfoster care youth and to…
The gender gap in educational expectations among youth in the foster care system
The role of parent expectations on adolescent educational aspirations
Parental expectations have long been studied as a factor in increasing adolescent educational aspirations, often linking these expectations to parental level of education and involvement in academic endeavours. This study further explores this relationship in a statewide Midwestern sample of parents and their adolescent children. Regression analysis and independent samples t‐tests were used to predict adolescent aspirations and compare groups. Re…
