How Aging Same-Sex and Different-Sex Spouses Influence Each Other’s Health Behaviors
Spouses often influence each other’s health behaviors through social control, yet most research relies on cross-sectional data from different-sex couples. Far less is known about how these dynamics unfold in same-sex marriages or evolve with age, despite their importance for population health. Using longitudinal survey data (n = 614) and daily diary data (n = 524) from mid-to-later-life same- and different-sex couples, we track six-year changes i…
Factors related to social disconnectedness among older unpaid caregivers
Background Older unpaid caregivers often face social isolation and loneliness, yet risk factors for social disconnection remain largely unexplored. As the demand for unpaid caregiving rises with an aging population, there is a need for targeted interventions to reduce social disconnectedness in this vulnerable group. This study aimed to identify determinants of social disconnectedness. Methods Data came from a sample of 701 unpaid caregivers aged…
The moderating role of walking in the association between HDL cholesterol and cognitive function among Korean older adults
Background: The biopsychosocial model of dementia emphasizes an integrative approach that takes into account the joint effects of biological and behavioral processes relevant to cognitive function. Based on this model, this study examined the interactive effects of biological (i.e., high-density lipoprotein; HDL) and behavioral (i.e., frequency of walking) factors on cognitive function (measured using KDSQ-C) among South Korean (hereafter "Korean…
The Gendered Sexual Experiences and Marital Quality of Middle-Aged Same-Sex and Different-Sex Couples
Non-spousal family support, marital status, and heart problems in adulthood
OBJECTIVES: Support from one's spouse has long been documented as a significant determinant of health for married individuals. However, non-spousal family support may play an important role in health particularly for unmarried individuals. Therefore, this study examined whether the association between non-spousal family support and diagnosis of heart problems differed by marital status and whether gender and education moderated these associations…
The mixed benefits of a stressor-free life
Research documents the pernicious effects of daily stressors on well-being, but often ignored in these studies are people reporting no stressors. The current study compared adults who reported no daily stressors with adults who reported at least one stressor across 8 consecutive days on measures of well-being. Of the 2,804 respondents (age range = 25-75 years, M = 53.46) from the Midlife in the United State Survey daily diary study, 10% reported …
Revisiting Intergenerational Contact and Relationship Quality in Later Life
Contact and relationship quality between adult children and aging parents are two widely used indicators of intergenerational solidarity and are often assumed to be positively correlated. However, the association between the two may depend on characteristics of the parent involved. Using Family Exchanges Study Wave 1, this study assessed whether parental difficulties—measured as functional limitations and life problems—and gender moderated the as…
