Place Matters
Structural inequities-poverty, housing instability, and unequal healthcare access-drive hypertension disparities. Multi-sector interventions targeting upstream SDOH (e.g., affordable housing, equitable healthcare, and community wellness programs) are critical to reduce cardiovascular risk. Policy reforms prioritizing place based strategies in high-burden communities could mitigate disparities and improve population health
Exploring the Influence of Loneliness on Cognitive Decline
Objectives Loneliness is prevalent among older adults, who may experience age-related or pathological cognitive changes. However, there’s a limited understanding of how loneliness affects cognitive decline and if the relationship differs by race. This study investigates the impact of loneliness on cognitive decline among Black and White older adults. Methods 3,082 participants with 20,882 follow-ups over 10 years were included from the RUSH RADC …
A Social Robot-facilitated Performance Assessment of Self-care Skills for People with Alzheimer’s
Beyond Hypertension
Damages potentially associated with variable BP may reduce resilience to future dementia-related pathology and increased the risk of dementia more than that caused by high BP. Improved treatment and management of variable BP may help reduce cognitive decline in the older adult population
Subjective Cognitive Decline Is Associated With Lower Baseline Cognition and Increased Rate of Cognitive Decline
The observed results reveal that older adults with SCD+ have lower baseline cognition and steeper declines in cognition over time compared to SCD-. Older adults with SCD may be aware of subtle cognitive declines that occur over time in global cognition, episodic memory, semantic memory, perceptual speed, visuospatial ability, and working memory compared to those without SCD
Examining the effects of musical type and intensity in performing the flanker task
Music alters the interplay between components of cognition and performance; however, there are inconclusive findings on how. One explanation may be Attentional Control Theory, which states that anxiety places demands on cognitive resources producing adverse effects on cognitive performance. Similarly, characteristics of music alter cognitive faculties resulting in poor performance. Therefore, the current study aimed to investigate effects on cogn…
Wellness among African-American and Caucasian students attending a predominantly White institution
The wellness movement is growing on college campuses; however, the examination of race is lacking. We examined aspects of physical and emotional well-being as a function of race in 197 college students at a predominantly White institution. Results revealed racial differences on diet, F(1, 196) = 7.537, p = 0.007 and resilient coping, F(1, 196) = 8.614, p = 0.004. Furthermore, regression analyses revealed that the association between stress and co…
A response to Denham and Garnett's ‘the nature and impact of think tanks in contemporary Britain’
Until the publication of Richard Cockett's book, Thinking the Unthinkable, in 1994, the history of think tanks in twentieth‐century Britain had been relatively neglected in the literature. In the previous volume Denham and Gamett made several attempts to criticise Cockett's work and to reassess both the nature and impact of think tanks in contemporary Britain. However, far from repudiating Cockett's analysis, their article merely confirms the inf…
