  • Beyond individual correlates

    Open AccessMoka Yoo‐jeong, Moka Yoo-Jeong et al.ARTICLEHealth & Place2026References: 2

    While individual correlates of loneliness are well established, less is known about whether neighborhood characteristics modify these associations. Guided by the Ecological Theory of Aging, this study examined whether subjective and objective neighborhood factors moderated cross-sectional associations between key individual characteristics (age, gender, physical function) and loneliness among adults in two predominantly Black Pittsburgh, PA neigh…

  • From Childhood to Adulthood

    Open AccessAvah Mousavi‐raad, Alina I Palimaru et al.ARTICLEJournal of Community Psychology2026References: 61

    Neighborhood environments may significantly impact psychological well‐being, particularly in Black American communities where historical inequities and resilience factors intersect. This mixed‐methods study investigates retrospective perceptions of childhood and current neighborhood social environments and their associations with loneliness and psychological distress in adulthood. Data were drawn from the Think PHRESH study, an ancillary project …

  • Association between spatial social polarisation and high blood pressure in older adults

    Hoda S Abdel Magid, Samuel Jaros et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2025References: 25

    BACKGROUND: Using data from the Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS) and the REasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) study, we investigate the association between socioeconomic polarisation and blood pressure outcomes in black and white adults. We also validate previous findings that joint racial/ethnic and income measures of spatial social polarisation (SSP) outperform single domain measures. METHODS: We conducted a cross-…

  • Beyond Neighborhood Disadvantage

    Open AccessPeter J Gianaros, Portia Miller et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2023

    OBJECTIVE: Residing in communities characterized by socioeconomic disadvantage confers risk of cardiometabolic diseases. Residing in disadvantaged communities may also confer the risk of neurodegenerative brain changes via cardiometabolic pathways. This study tested whether features of communities-apart from conventional socioeconomic characteristics-relate not only to cardiometabolic risk but also to relative tissue reductions in the cerebral co…

  • Examining the Cross-sectional Association Between Neighborhood Conditions, Discrimination, and Telomere Length in a Predominantly African American Sample

  • Design of the Think PHRESH longitudinal cohort study

    Open AccessAndrea L Rosso, Wendy M Troxel et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    Understanding how structural racism has influenced the lived experience of Black Americans, including dynamic changes in neighborhood conditions over time, is critical to inform multi-level intervention and policy efforts to reduce pervasive racial and socioeconomic disparities in ADRD

  • Neighborhood greenspace and cognition

  • Greater Social Engagement and Greater Gray Matter Microstructural Integrity in Brain Regions Relevant to Dementia

    Open AccessCynthia Felix, Caterina Rosano et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2020Cited by: 2References: 1

    SE is related to greater microstructural integrity of specific GM regions relevant to social cognition, that have described roles in dementia. SE may therefore be a useful preventive mechanism against loss of GM integrity in older adults

  • Neighborhood Social Capital and Achieved Mobility of Older Adults

    Open AccessAndrea L Rosso, Loni P Tabb et al.ARTICLEJournal of Aging and Health2014Cited by: 1References: 20

    Social capital may not contribute as much as other neighborhood characteristics to mobility. Interactions between neighborhood and individual-level characteristics should be considered in research on mobility

  • Mobility, Disability, and Social Engagement in Older Adults

    Open AccessAndrea L Rosso, Jennifer Taylor et al.ARTICLEJournal of Aging and Health2013Cited by: 13References: 13

    Low mobility is associated with low social engagement even in the absence of disability; associations with disability differed by type of social engagement

  • The Urban Built Environment and Mobility in Older Adults

    Open AccessAndrea L Rosso, Amy H Auchinclo et al.ARTICLEJournal of Aging Research2011

    Mobility restrictions in older adults are common and increase the likelihood of negative health outcomes and premature mortality. The effect of built environment on mobility in older populations, among whom environmental effects may be strongest, is the focus of a growing body of the literature. We reviewed recent research (1990–2010) that examined associations of objective measures of the built environment with mobility and disability in adults …
