Trends in decayed teeth among middle‐aged and older adults in the United States
Although studies have shown the number of middle-aged and older Americans experiencing tooth loss has decreased over time, trends in tooth decay have remained relatively stable, with socioeconomic disparities persisting over time
Trends of Edentulism Among Middle-Aged and Older Asian Americans
Objectives. We estimated national trends of the prevalence of edentulism (complete tooth loss) for Asian American subgroups in the United States and investigated factors that could contribute to improvements in edentulism across populations over time. Methods. We used 10 waves of the National Health Interview Survey data collected from 1999 to 2008. Eligible respondents were those aged 50 years and older who completed the question on tooth loss. …
Modeling Longitudinal Count Data
To test for group differences in growth trajectories in mixed (fixed and random effects) models, researchers frequently interpret the coefficient of Group-by-Time product terms. While this practice is straightforward in linear mixed models, it is less so in generalized linear mixed models. Using both an empirical example and synthetic data, we show that the coefficient of Group-by-Time product terms in a specific class of mixed models-mixed Poiss…

Caregiver Psychological Distress as a Barrier to Influenza Vaccination Among Community-Dwelling Elderly With Dementia
OBJECTIVE: This study examined whether informal caregiver psychologic distress decreases the likelihood of influenza vaccination for community-dwelling elderly with dementia. A secondary aim was to determine whether psychologic distress mediates the relationship between other predisposing, enabling, and medical need variables and vaccination. METHODS: Data were drawn from the 1998 National Longitudinal Caregiver Survey. The final sample consisted…
The Black-White Achievement Gap in the First College Year
"Aging, Health, and the "Electronic Church
We tested whether elders substitute religious media use for church attendance when health declines (using multidimensional disengagement theory) with data from a multiracial, population-based sample in the Bible Belt (N = 2,971). In adjusted models, 3-year declines in functional status were significantly associated with concurrent reduction in frequency of church attendance but not with any change in rates of religious media (TV/radio) use. Age-r…
Private Health Insurance Coverage and Disability among Older Americans
The results indicate that changes in health insurance coverage as well as in individual behaviors may be needed to reduce disability generally and disability among the socioeconomically disadvantaged, in particular
Social Correlates of the Dimensions of Depression in the Elderly
Few investigations of the social correlates of depressive symptomatology have addressed variation in the correlates across multiple dimensions of depression scales. We examined the relationships of selected social, clinical, and demographic correlates with four dimensions of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression (CES-D) scale in 3,401 community-dwelling elders in the Piedmont area of North Carolina. These correlates explained significan…
Modeling the Cross-Sectional Relationships Between Religion, Physical Health, Social Support, and Depressive Symptoms
Differential Relationships of Risk Factors to Alternative Measures of Disability
The purpose of this article was to determine whether risk factors for four dimensions of disability differ and whether it is legitimate to use aggregated disability measures in risk factor analyses. Using data from the baseline Duke Established Populations for Epidemiologic Studies of the Elderly survey (n = 4,162), the authors examined four measures of disability--basic activities of daily living (ADLs), household ADLs, advanced ADLs, and mobili…
An Empirical Evaluation of the Predictive Mean Matching Method for Imputing Missing Values
This article reports empirical explorations of how well the predictive mean matching method for imputing missing data works for an often problematic variable-income-when income is used as an explanatory variable in a substantive regression model. It is found that the performance of the predictive mean method varies considerably with the predictive power of the imputation regression model and the percentage of cases with missing data on income. In…
Health services access and use among older adults in North Carolina
OBJECTIVES. This study compared health service use and satisfaction with health care among older adults living in urban vs rural counties in North Carolina. METHODS. A stratified random sample of 4162 residents of one urban and four rural counties of North Carolina was surveyed to determine urban/rural variation in inpatient and outpatient health service use, continuity of care and satisfaction with care, and barriers (transportation, cost) to ca…
Mental health service use by the elderly in nursing homes
OBJECTIVES. Because current Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act regulations influence the disposition of US nursing home residents who have mental illness, National Nursing Home Survey (1985) data are analyzed for predictors of mental health service use. METHODS. Elderly residents' rates of mental health service use are presented. Logistic regression yielded odds ratios for treatment by both mental health specialists and general practitioners for c…
