Neighborhood greenspace and brain imaging outcomes in older adults without dementia from three US Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers
Residential segregation of Black and Latinx older adults and brain imaging outcomes
Correlates of post-Covid-19 pandemic worry and preventive practices in older adults in Florida
Introduction: The extant literature is limited regarding the correlates of COVID-19 worry and preventive measures among diverse, older adults following the peak of the pandemic. Purpose of the study is to determine the correlates of post-COVID-19 pandemic worry and preventive practices (i.e., social distancing, masking) among older adults. Materials and methods: In 2022-2024, we conducted a cross-sectional survey of COVID-19 preventive behaviors,…
Living in a 20-min neighborhood and brain health and resilience in older adults
The 20-min neighborhood (20 MN) concept, aimed at fostering livable communities, has garnered increasing attention among urban planners and policy makers. 20 MNs provide most daily needs (e.g., grocery, parks) within a 20-min walk of home. Among 352 older adults in the Healthy Brain Initiative (HBI), we examined whether 20 MN measures were associated with resilience against future cognitive impairment/dementia measured via the Resilience Index (R…
Spatial scale effects on associations between built environment and cognitive function
Summer Heat, Historic Redlining, and Neighborhood Walking among Older Adults
Evaluating Racial/Ethnic Equity in Planning-Related U.S. Health Impact Assessments Involving Parks and Greenspaces
Problem research strategy and findings: Health impact assessment (HIA) reports are used by government agencies, other organizations, and stakeholders to evaluate potential health effects of plans/policies/projects. HIAs have the potential to promote anti-racist practices. We developed and used the Tool for the Racial/Ethnic Equity Evaluation of Health Impact Assessments (TREE-HIA) to score 50 U.S. HIA reports on planning-related projects/plans in…
Neighborhood greenspace and cognition
Perceptions of greenspace and social determinants of health across the life course
Longitudinal Associations between the Neighborhood Built Environment and Cognition in US Older Adults
Few studies have examined associations between neighborhood built environments (BE) and longitudinally measured cognition. We examined whether four BE characteristics were associated with six-year change in global cognition and processing speed. We obtained data on 1816 participants without dementia from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis. BE measures included social destination density, walking destination density, proportion of land dedi…
Neighborhood racial/ethnic segregation and cognitive decline in older adults
Intention to Screen for Alzheimer’s Disease by Residential Locale
A random digit dialing sample from Missouri (USA) was used to compare associations between psychosocial factors and Alzheimer's disease (AD) screening intention based on residential locale. Linear regression associations between demographics and five psychosocial constructs (dementia knowledge, perceived screening benefits, preventive health behaviors, perceived susceptibility, and self-efficacy) and screening intention were compared by residenti…
Associations between neighborhood park space and cognition in older adults vary by US location
Intention to be screened for Alzheimer's disease in nondemented older adults
The study explored factors associated with intention to be screened for Alzheimer's disease (AD). The study also examined whether self-efficacy mediates the relationship between knowledge about screening and the intention to be screened for AD. A population-based, random-digit dialing survey was performed and 1,043 responses were collected from a sample of nondemented persons (50 years or older) living in urban, suburban, and rural areas in a Mid…
