Age and Ability Affect Practice Gains in Longitudinal Studies of Cognitive Change
During a 20-year longitudinal study, 5,842 participants aged 49 to 93 years significantly improved over two to four successive experiences of the Heim AH4-1 intelligence test (first published in 1970), even with between-test intervals of 4 years and longer. After we considered significant attrition by death and dropout and the effects of gender, socioeconomic advantage, and recruitment cohort, we found that participants with high intelligence tes…
Death, Dropout, and Longitudinal Measurements of Cognitive Change in Old Age
During a 20-year longitudinal study of cognitive change in old age 2,342 of 5,842 participants died and 3,204 dropped out. To study cognitive change as death approaches, we grouped participants by survival, death, dropout, or dropout followed by death. Linear mixed-effects pattern-mixture models compared rates of cognitive change before death and dropout from four quadrennial administrations of tests of fluid intelligence, vocabulary, and verbal …
Sudden Declines in Intelligence in Old Age Predict Death and Dropout From Longitudinal Studies
It is well known that approaching death accelerates cognitive decline. The converse issue, that is, the question of whether rapid declines in cognitive ability are risk factors for imminent death, has not been investigated. Every 4 years between 1983 and 2003, we gave 1,414 healthy community residents who were aged between 49 and 93 years the Heim AH4-1 test of fluid intelligence. A modified Andersen-Gill model evaluated AH4-1 scores at entry to …
Neglect of Dropout Underestimates Effects of Death in Longitudinal Studies
Investigations of terminal declines in mental abilities have assessed cognitive performance at a single time point and retrospectively compared survivors and decedents at a single later census date. Neglect of outcomes other than death, such as dropout, causes a loss of information on the relative frailty of survivors and deceased persons before the census date and on incidence of mortality and frailty among survivors after the census date. This …
Stress factors and mental health of carers with relatives suffering from schizophrenia in Hong Kong
Based on Spaniol and Jung's stress and coping framework (1993), this study examined the difficulties and stresses experienced by carers with relatives suffering from schizophrenia in Hong Kong. The impact of these difficulties and stresses and of mastery as a coping resource on carers' mental health was also explored. Results show that carers experience most difficulties and stresses related to the management of negative symptoms such as refusal …
