  • Overconfidence and Financial Risk Tolerance in Older Age

    Open AccessColleen C Frank, Gary R Mottola et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2025Referencias: 1

    Objectives Excessive financial risk-taking in older age can have harmful consequences as opportunities to recover lost wealth are limited. Understanding financial risk-taking in older age is important for identifying vulnerabilities and developing interventions to empower aging investors to make wise financial choices. In this paper, we explore how overconfidence in financial knowledge affects financial risk-taking among older adults. Methods We …

  • Financial Risk Aversion Among Older Black and White Adults

    Open AccessS Duke Han, Lisa L Barnes et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2023Referencias: 7

    Older Black adults are more financially risk averse than older White adults. Because risk aversion may be associated with important financial and health outcomes in older age, more research is needed to investigate the reasons for this difference

  • Change in Decision-Making Analysis and Preferences in Old Age

    Open AccessRobert S Wilson, R J Wilson et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2023Referencias: 2

    Decision making analysis and preferences change over time in late life. Change over time in decision making components is relatively independent and differentially related to age and cognitive reserve

  • Well-Being and Aging-Related Decline in Financial and Health Literacy in Advanced Age

    Open AccessChristopher C Stewart, Lei Yu et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2023Referencias: 4

    This study suggests that well-being helps stave off aging-related literacy decline

  • Polygenic prediction of educational attainment within and between families from genome-wide association analyses in 3 million individuals

    Open AccessAysu Okbay, Yeda Wu et al.ARTICLENature Genetics2022

    We conduct a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of educational attainment (EA) in a sample of ~3 million individuals and identify 3,952 approximately uncorrelated genome-wide-significant single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). A genome-wide polygenic predictor, or polygenic index (PGI), explains 12–16% of EA variance and contributes to risk prediction for ten diseases. Direct effects (i.e., controlling for parental PGIs) explain roughly half th…

  • The Relationship of John Henryism With Cognitive Function and Decline in Older Black Adults

    V Eloesa McSorley, Clifford Howard et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2022

    OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between John Henryism, a psychological trait typified by high-effort active coping that has been associated with adverse health outcomes among Blacks, and cognitive decline. METHODS: In a cohort of community-dwelling older Black adults ( N = 611), we investigated the relationship between John Henryism and cognitive decline. John Henryism was measured using the John Henryism Active Coping…

  • Decision Making and Blood Sugar Indicators in Older African American Adults

    Open AccessV Eloesa McSorley, Melissa Lamar et al.ARTICLEJournal of Aging and Health2022Referencias: 4

    Objectives: Decision making is a modifiable behavior associated with health outcomes. We investigated the association of decision making with blood sugar indicators in older community-dwelling African American adults. Methods: Participants were 328 older African American adults from community-based studies (mean age = 78). Decision making was assessed using a performance-based measure (range: 0-12). Blood sugar indicators were non-fasting hemoglo…

  • Associations of literacy with diabetes indicators in older adults

    Melissa Lamar, Robert S Wilson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2019Referencias: 37

    BACKGROUND: Literacy, the ability to access, understand and utilise information and concepts from diverse sources in ways that promote good outcomes is key to successful ageing. Domain-specific health and financial literacy are particularly relevant to older adults as they face increasingly complex health and financial demands including those related to chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes. We therefore investigated the associations of literac…

  • Association of Financial Literacy With Hospitalization in Community-dwelling Older Adults

    Bryan D James, R Scott Wilson et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2018Referencias: 28

    BACKGROUND: Lowering the likelihood of hospitalization in older adults is a major public health goal for modern health care systems. Emerging data suggest that financial literacy is an important determinant of health outcomes in old age, but the relationship with hospitalization has not been explored. OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that better financial literacy is related to lower risk of hospitalization in older persons. DESIGN: Prospective …

  • Decline in Literacy and Incident AD Dementia Among Community-Dwelling Older Persons

    Open AccessLei Yu, Robert S Wilson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Aging and Health2017Citada por: 1Referencias: 3

    Declining literacy among community-dwelling older persons predicts adverse cognitive outcomes and serves as an early indicator of impending dementia

  • Genetic variants associated with subjective well-being, depressive symptoms, and neuroticism identified through genome-wide analyses

    Open AccessLifelines Cohort Study, Aysu Okbay et al.ARTICLENature Genetics2016

  • Genome-wide association study identifies 74 loci associated with educational attainment

  • Associations of Apoe ε4 With Health and Financial Literacy Among Community-Based Older Adults Without Dementia

    Open AccessChristopher C Stewart, Patricia A Boyle et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2016Referencias: 3

    ε4 affects literacy even in the absence of clinical dementia and does so relatively independent of performance on traditional cognitive tests

  • Poorer Financial and Health Literacy Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment

    Open AccessS Duke Han, Patricia A Boyle et al.ARTICLEJournal of Aging and Health2015Citada por: 1Referencias: 1

    Persons with MCI exhibit poorer financial and health literacy, and education mitigates this effect

  • GWAS of 126,559 Individuals Identifies Genetic Variants Associated with Educational Attainment

    Open AccessCornelius A Rietveld, Sarah E Medland et al.ARTICLEScience2013

    Genetic College Many genomic elements in humans are associated with behavior, including educational attainment. In a genome-wide association study including more than 100,000 samples, Rietveld et al. (p. 1467 , published online 30 May; see the Perspective by Flint and Munafò ) looked for genes related to educational attainment in Caucasians. Small genetic effects at three loci appeared to impact educational attainment.

  • Harm Avoidance and Risk of Alzheimer's Disease

    Robert S Wilson, R J Wilson et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2011

    OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that harm avoidance, a trait associated with behavioral inhibition, is associated with the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD). METHODS: A total of 791 adults 55 years and older without dementia completed a standard self-report measure of harm avoidance. They then underwent annual evaluations that included detailed cognitive testing and clinical classification of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), dementia,…
