Loss in Old Age
Understanding how different types of losses accumulate and are perceived in later life is essential for designing effective mental health interventions. This study examined the types, co-occurrence, and perceived intensity of losses experienced by older adults in Chile, where no prior research has systematically addressed this phenomenon. We also analyzed how sociodemographic variables (sex, education, income, and social network characteristics) …
Validation of Short Form of Preferences for Routines Scale
High level of preferences for routines is an indicator of psychological vulnerability in older adults. However, the psychometric properties of the Preferences for Routines Scale (PRS) initially validated in a small selected sample of older adults revealed a low Cronbach’s α (.50) in the general elderly population. The present study aims to improve the PRS using the data from the “AMI” and “PAQUID” population-based studies. Among 718 older persons…
Older Adults and the Covid-19 Pandemic, What About the Oldest Old? The Pacovid Population-Based Survey
Introduction: The literature draws a mitigated picture of the psychosocial effects of the lockdown in older adults. However, the studies conducted so far are mainly based on web surveys which may involve selection bias. The PACOVID survey relies on a population-based design and addresses the attitudes, psychological and social experiences of the oldest old regarding the pandemic and lockdown and their impact. Material and Methods: Cross-sectional…
Psycho-social transition to retirement and adjustment to retired life
This article investigates the relationship between psycho-social transition to retirement on the wellbeing and mental health of retired farmers through their adjustment to retired life. The sample was taken from the Approche Multidisciplinaire Intégrée cohort, a French prospective study of retired farmers living in rural areas in south-western France. Cross-sectional analyses were conducted on a sample of 530 participants. The wellbeing and menta…
Do Individual and Geographical Deprivation Have the Same Impact on the Risk of Dementia? A 25-Year Follow-up Study
Psychosocioeconomic precariousness, but not geographical deprivation, is associated with a higher risk of dementia
Feelings of Loneliness and Living Alone as Predictors of Mortality in the Elderly
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this work was to determine the predictive value of 2 indicators of psychosocial isolation (living alone and feelings of loneliness) in elderly people. METHODS: Twenty-two-year follow-up cohort study of 3,620 community-dwelling elderly people enrolled in the PAQUID study, a French prospective population-based study. Participants completed a battery of tests including the Centre for Epidemiological Studies Depression scale and…

Social activity, cognitive decline and dementia risk
We observed a complex series of relationships between social-environment variables and cognitive decline and dementia. In the whole population, factors such as increased engagement in social, physical, or intellectual pursuits were related to a decreased risk of dementia. However, in a sub-population analysis, the social-environment variables were not linked to the heterogeneous patterns of cognitive decline and dementia risk that defined the sub…
Health and aging in elderly farmers
AMI is the first French longitudinal study on health and aging set up in a population of elderly farmers living in rural area through a multidisciplinary approach
What Aspects of Social Network Are Protective for Dementia? Not the Quantity But the Quality of Social Interactions Is Protective Up to 15 Years Later
OBJECTIVE: To test the association between several social networks variables reflecting both structural characteristics and quality of relationships with the risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease 5 and up to 15 years later. METHODS: The study sample is gathered from the Paquid cohort, a French population-based study of 3,777 elderly people evaluated at baseline and regularly revisited during a 15-year interval. The sample consisted of 2,089 su…
