The Relation Between Pet Ownership, Anxiety, and Depressive Symptoms in Late Life: Propensity Score Matched Analyses
The purpose of this study was to explore the differences in anxiety and depressive symptoms between older adult pet owners and non-pet owners after accounting for various correlates. Research findings on the anxiety-relieving and antidepressant effects of late-life pet ownership are mixed and limited. This may be due in part to various characteristics that impact the likelihood of owning a pet. Propensity score matching was used to pair 169 pet o…
Neighborhood Disadvantage Is Associated with Depressive Symptoms but Not Depression Diagnosis in Older Adults
Disadvantaged neighborhood environments may have low access to healthcare, perpetuating health disparities. Previous research has reported on associations between neighborhood disadvantage (ND) and depressive symptomology but not depression diagnoses, which may indicate access to healthcare. This study tested how ND relates to depressive symptomology and diagnosis to assess for neighborhood disparities in mental health care cross-sectionally. Dat…
Poets, Patrons, and Printers: Crisis of Authority in Late Medieval France
Cynthia J. Brown explains why the advent of print in the late medieval period brought about changes in relationships among poets, patrons, and printers which led to a new conception of authorship.Examining such paratextual elements of manuscripts as title pages, colophons, and illustrations as well as such literary strategies as experimentation with narrative voice, Brown traces authors' attempts to underscore their narrative presence in their wo…
Social and Demographic Predictors of Nutritional Risk: Cross-sectional Analyses From the UAB Study of Aging II

This study assesses these associations using the Mini Nutritional Assessment among 414 community-dwelling persons 75+ years of age in Alabama. Descriptive analyses on the full sample and by African American men, African American women, white men, and white women showed that mean scores for the full Mini Nutritional Assessment differed …

The Impact of Veteran Status on Life-Space Mobility among Older Black and White Men in the Deep South
Veterans had significantly higher baseline life-space mobility. There were significantly greater declines in life-space trajectories for White non-veterans in comparison to other race-veteran subgroups. Black veterans and non-veterans did not have significantly different trajectories

Previously diagnosed and newly diagnosed cancer survivors age 65+ were interviewed at baseline and four years later to understand how components of religiosity may change. Religiosity was assessed as organizational, non-organizational, and intrinsic using the Duke Religiosi…

Measuring Symptoms in Community-dwelling Older Adults: The Psychometric Properties of a Brief Symptom Screen
BACKGROUND: With aging, the probability of experiencing multiple chronic conditions has increased, along with symptoms associated with these conditions. Symptoms form a central component of illness burden, and distress. To date, most symptom measures have focused on a particular disease population. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to develop and evaluate a simple symptom screen using data obtained from a representative sample of community-dwelling older adult…

Acculturation and healthy lifestyle habits among Hispanics in United States-Mexico border communities
Findings confirmed an association between acculturation and healthy lifestyle habits and supported the hypothesis that acculturation in border community populations tends to decrease the practice of some healthy dietary habits while increasing exposure to and awareness of the importance of other healthy behaviors

Édition critique par Olga Anna Duhl. Geneva, Droz, 2005. 344 pp. Publicized as an ‘édition critique’, Olga Duhl's edition is based on the sixteenth-century publication of the Sotise (of which five copies still exist), printed in Paris around 1510–12 by Guillaume Eustache, and includes important rectifications of Emile Picot's ‘corrections’ of the play in his early twentieth-century edition. Through meticulous research, Duhl sheds new light on sev…

Occupational Attainment and Gender Earnings Differentials in Mexico
Women earned about 20.8% less than men in Mexico in 1987, a difference that increased to 22.0% by 1993. Using 1987-93 data from Mexico's National Urban Employment Survey, the authors study the role of occupational attainment in this wage differential. Most of the 1987-93 increase in the gender log monthly earnings gap, they find, can be explained by relative chnges in human capital endowments; wage coefficient changes would have slightly reduced …
