Geographic Access to Low‐Dose CT Lung Cancer Screening in Tennessee
Introduction Lung cancer screening enables earlier detection and improved outcomes, yet geographic inequities persist in access to low‐dose computed tomography (LDCT). We quantified tract‐level access to LDCT screening in Tennessee and examined disparities by rurality and Appalachian status. Methods We compiled an inventory of LDCT‐capable sites and measured access using a 30‐min enhanced two‐step floating catchment area (E2SFCA) index with three…
Resilience among older adults with multimorbidity using the Connor-Davidson scale in the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging
This research provides confirmatory evidence for several protective and risk factors affecting the ability to cope and recover from multimorbidity adversity among older adults. There are consistent patterns for the multimorbidity disease clusters, but some distinct relationships arise that are worthy of attention. The implications of the findings for modifiable health behaviours and socio-economic factors are discussed for their public health and…
Multimorbidity resilience and health behaviors among older adults
Objective: There has been a growing interest in examining why some individuals adapt and bounce back from multimorbidity (resilience) better than others. This paper investigates the positive role of protective health behaviors on multimorbidity resilience (MR) among older adults focusing on older persons with two or more concurrent chronic conditions, and separately for three multimorbidity chronic illness clusters. Methods: Using Baseline and Fo…
