Frailty and poor physical functioning as risk factors for driving cessation
Introduction: Frailty and low physical performance are modifiable factors and, therefore, targets for interventions aimed at delaying driving cessation (DC). The objective was to determine the impact of frailty and physical performance on DC. Methods: Multisite prospective cohort of older drivers. The key inclusion criteria are as follows: active driver age 65-79 years, possessing a valid driver's license, without significant cognitive impairment…
Correlates of caregiver well-being
Background: The literature demonstrates an association between aspects of caregiving and support with caregiver burden and differences by race. Our objective was to examine correlates of caregiver wellbeing, and if the effect is moderated by race. Methods: The National Study of Caregiving (NSOC) is a survey of unpaid and familial caregivers affiliated with participants in the National Health and Aging Trends Study, a nationally representative sur…
Central Obesity Is Associated With an Increased Rate of Multisite Pain in Older Adults
Objective: Central obesity has been associated with several adverse health events, but little research exists about the longitudinal effects of central obesity on multisite pain. The purpose of this study was to assess if central obesity, as measured by waist circumference measurement, was associated with an increased rate of having multisite pain among older adults aged 65 years and older. Design: The National Health and Aging Trends Study is a …
Associations of Self-Care Health Behaviors With Driving Cessation Among Older Drivers
Older adults are at risk of driving cessation as they age, which can result in negative health outcomes including loss of independence. This study aimed to investigate the associations of self-care health behaviors with the risk of driving cessation. Demographics, health and driving characteristics were captured from healthcare systems in Denver, CO, San Diego, CA, Ann Arbor, MI, Baltimore, MD and Cooperstown, NY for 2,990 adults at baseline then…
Global Pain and Aging
Chronic pain intensity is not an inevitable consequence of chronological age, but the consequence of potential selection effects and lower activity levels combined with individual-level health and country-level wealth. Our findings suggest further investigation of health conditions and country affluence settings as potential targets of medical and policy interventions aiming to prevent, reduce, or manage chronic pain among older patients and agin…
Rate of Social Isolation by Geographic Location Among Older Adults
Introduction: Social isolation is a modifiable risk factor for negative health outcomes among older adults. This work assessed the relationship between geography (i.e., urban vs. non-urban residence) and social isolation in a cohort of older drivers. Methods: The AAA LongROAD cohort with 2,989 older adult drivers from across the country were included. Social isolation was measured at baseline and at two subsequent annual follow-ups using PROMIS v…
Evaluating a Two-Level vs. Three-Level Fall Risk Screening Algorithm for Predicting Falls Among Older Adults
Background and Objectives Falls account for the highest proportion of preventable injury among older adults. In an effort to aid clinicians screen, assess, and intervene to decrease fall risk in older adults, the United States’ Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) developed the Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths, & Injuries (STEADI) Tool Kit. We referred to our adaptation of the STEADI algorithm as ‘Quick-STEADI’ and compared the pred…
Importance of Driving and Potential Impact of Driving Cessation for Rural and Urban Older Adults
PURPOSE: Analyses compared older drivers from urban, suburban, and rural areas on perceived importance of continuing to drive and potential impact that driving cessation would have on what they want and need to do. METHODS: The AAA LongROAD Study is a prospective study of driving behaviors, patterns, and outcomes of older adults. A cohort of 2,990 women and men 65-79 years of age was recruited during 2015-2017 from health systems or primary care …

Translating Using RE-AIM of a Falls Behavior Change Program Among an Assisted Living Population
A Matter of Balance/Volunteer Lay Leader model is an evidence-based program to change behavior to adopt falls prevention strategies. The purpose was to translate this program to assisted living communities. A single-arm intervention study was designed to assess for falls-related and physical performance measures. Forty-one residents, with a mean age of 87 years, were eligible for participation. The Falls Management Scale (P = .02) and the Physica…
