Women’s Occupational Patterns and Later Life Physical Functioning
Objective: Timing and accumulation of work-related exposures may influence later life health. This study evaluates the association between women's work patterns and physical functioning. Method: Work history and physical functioning information was collected at baseline for U.S. women ages 50 to 79 years in the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study ( N = 75,507). We estimated life course workforce participation patterns using latent class…
Designing with Dignity
Health in the Designed Environment (CHDE) received a foundation grant for a course entitled "Health and Design Research: Designing with Dignity" that was piloted spring 2016. In this pilot, students from multiple disciplines examined the relationship between the built environment, health and behavioral health issues. The course linked these issues with the over-arching theme of housing insecurity. Within this central theme, the students were part…
Work Characteristics Associated with Physical Functioning in Women
Women make up almost half of the labor force with older women becoming a growing segment of the population. Work characteristics influence physical functioning and women are at particular risk for physical limitations. However, little research has explored the effects of work characteristics on women's physical functioning. U.S. women between the ages of 50 and 79 were enrolled in the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study between 1993 and…
Neighbourhood environment and physical activity in older adults
Exceptional Brain Aging in a Rural Population‐Based Cohort
Context: The 2000 US Census identified 50,454 Americans over the age of 100. Increased longevity is only of benefit if accompanied by maintenance of independence and quality of life. Little is known about the prevalence of dementia and other disabling conditions among rural centenarians although this information is important to clinicians caring for them. Purpose: To determine the prevalence of disabling conditions, including cognitive impairment…
Neighborhood-Level Influences on Physical Activity among Older Adults
There is a need for greater understanding of setting-specific influences on physical activity to complement the predominant research paradigm of individual-centered influences on physical activity. In this study, the authors used a cross-sectional multilevel analysis to examine a range of neighborhood-level characteristics and the extent to which they were associated with variation in self-reported physical activity among older adults. The sample…
