Racial Differences in the Association of Education With Physical and Cognitive Function in Older Blacks and Whites
Results from this biracial population-based sample in the Midwest suggest that blacks may enjoy greater returns in functional health for additional education beyond high school
Black-White Differences in Depressive Symptoms Among Older Adults Over Time
This study examines racial differences in depressive symptoms among older adults over time. The subjects were 4,275 community-dwelling persons aged 65 and older (62% Black) who participated in the Chicago Health and Aging Project (CHAP) during a period of 9 years. Depression was measured using a summary score of the 10-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression scale (CES-D). We modeled depressive symptoms using the method of General Estima…
Predictors of Depressive Symptoms in Persons With Alzheimer's Disease
In a 4-year longitudinal study, we evaluated factors related to the development of depressive symptoms in 410 persons with Alzheimer's disease. We measured depressive symptoms annually by using the 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale, which we completed by using structured interviews with family members. On the basis of informant ratings of premorbid personality, we associated neuroticism with a higher rate of depressive symptoms, particularly mood dis…
Inhibition of antigen-induced degranulation of sensitized mast cells by Trichopus zeylanicus in mice and rats
Cognitive Activity in Older Persons From a Geographically Defined Population
Patterns of cognitive activity, and their relation to cognitive function, were examined in a geographically defined, biracial population of persons aged 65 years and older. Persons (N = 6,162) were given cognitive performance tests and interviewed about their participation in common cognitive activities, like reading a newspaper. Overall, more frequent participation in cognitive activities was associated with younger age, more education, higher f…
Social Networks and Disability Transitions Across Eight Intervals of Yearly Data in the New Haven Epese
The findings lend further support for the role of social relationships in important health outcomes in old age. They suggest that being "embedded" in a social network of relatives and friends reduces risk for ADL disability, and enhances recovery from ADL disability
Concordance between Direct Observation and Staff Rating of Behavior in Nursing Home Residents with Alzheimer's Disease
This study examined concordance between staff ratings and direct observations of behavior in 177 nursing home residents with Alzheimer's disease. During a structured interview, the staff member who had the most frequent contact with each resident completed three standardized behavioral rating scales. Direct observation of behavior (60 observations per resident) was conducted concurrently by trained nonparticipant observers using a structured time…
Effects of Artemisia pallens Wall. on blood glucose levels in normal and alloxan-induced diabetic rats
Lifestyle changes in long term survivors of acute myocardial infarction
A retrospective questionnaire and interview study of 10 year survivors of uncomplicated myocardial infarction examined smoking, diet, exercise, weight, medication, and treatment since discharge from hospital in 1973-4 and made comparisons with controls (using the same questionnaire) and with normal populations (as reported by others). Long term survivors of myocardial infarction previously smoked more than controls; made more dietary changes than…
