Associations among social network relationships, cognitive functioning and financial exploitation
Financial exploitation (FE) of older adults results in devastating consequences. Studies have highlighted social and cognitive factors as separate risk factors of FE, but few have considered their interactive effect on FE risk. This study examines whether social relationships, cognitive functioning and their interactions are associated with FE experiences in a nationally representative sample of 704 community-dwelling Israeli adults aged 50 or ol…
Defensive Responses to Masculinity Threat
This study examines how men evaluate a potentially masculinity-threatening message about the availability of a male birth control pill, framed as being released in the near versus distant future. Drawing on research on health-related defense mechanisms and precarious manhood, we hypothesized that men with higher levels of precarious manhood beliefs would react more defensively to the message – exhibiting greater message derogation, avoidance, low…
Functional impairment representations and behavioral intentions in later life
These findings highlight a motivational tradeoff in aging, where emotional self-protection may undermine proactive health behaviors, and suggest it is important to balance emotional self-protection with accurate threat perception
Making sense of Covid-19
OBJECTIVES: To describe and explain peoples' developing threat appraisal and representations of the novel illness COVID-19 over the first months of the pandemic. The Common-Sense Model of illness perceptions provided the theoretical framework. DESIGN: A cross-sectional study with 511 respondents and a follow-up study 4 months later on 422 respondents completing an online survey measuring demographic factors, media consumption, self-assessed healt…
Defects of the femoral head‐neck junction
Femoral head‐neck defects (FHNDs) are commonly reported in the anatomical and anthropological literature. The best known types are Allen's fossa and Poirier's facet; however, their definition and etiology are still debated. The aims of this study were to revise the categorization and identification of FHNDs and to reveal their prevalence in a skeletal sample. The femora of 238 individuals (161 males and 77 females) aged between 21 and 93 years ol…
Associations between self-rated health and depressive symptoms among older adults
Attachment insecurity hinders cardiac patients' ability to receive partners' care
Objectives: The fact that spousal support is not always beneficial for the recipient continues to intrigue researchers in the dyadic support field. One possible explanation for this phenomenon may be individual differences in attachment orientations, which might promote or, conversely, hinder the ability to capitalize on one's partner's support. We therefore assessed the interactive contribution of cardiac patients' attachment orientations (anxio…
Personality Makes a Difference
OBJECTIVE: To achieve a comprehensive understanding of patients' adherence to medication following acute coronary syndrome (ACS), we assessed the possible moderating role played by attachment orientation on the effects of attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control (PBC), as derived from the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB; Ajzen, 1991), on intention and reported adherence. METHOD: A prospective longitudinal design was employed.…
Sacral Orientation in Hominin Evolution
Sagittal sacral orientation within the pelvic girdle of humans is a key component of posture and obstetrics. On the one hand, sacral orientation has direct influence on the lumbar curvature; while on the other hand, it has an impact on the dorsoventral dimension of the birth canal. In this study, we aim to explore the evolution of sacral orientation in the sagittal plane and its relationship with the lumbar curvature in hominins. To do this, we m…
Morphology and function of the lumbar spine of the Kebara 2 Neandertal
The morphology of the lumbar spine is crucial for upright posture and bipedal walking in hominids. The excellent preservation of the lumbar spine of Kebara 2 provides us a rare opportunity to observe a complete spine and explore its functionally relevant morphology. The lumbar spine of Kebara 2 is analyzed and compared with the lumbar spines of modern humans and late Pleistocene hominids. Although no size differences between the vertebral bodies …
Growth and development of female dancers aged 8–16 years
Little data are available on the growth and development of young female dancers. The objective of this study was to determine whether the body structure and adipose tissue distribution of dancers aged 8–16 years differ from that of non‐dancer girls. Our cross‐sectional study included a group of 1,482 female dancers, aged 8–16 years, and a control group of 226 female non‐dancers of similar age cohorts. Fourteen anthropometric measurements were rec…
Orientation of the human sacrum
Discovering the nature of sacral orientation is of considerable anthropological importance. Therefore, this study aims at presenting a new anthropologically based definition for sacral anatomical orientation (SAO) angle, establishing standards of SAO for human population; examining the relationship between pelvic incidence (PI) and SAO; and associating SAO with demographic parameters. The study population consisted of 424 adult and 14 sub‐adult (…
