The Mode Effect of Web-Based Surveying on the 2018 U.S. Health and Retirement Study Measure of Cognitive Functioning
The difference in mode may be nonignorable for many uses of the HRS cognitive measure. In particular, it may require reconsideration of some cutscore-based approaches to identify impairment
A life course view on depression: Social determinants of depressive symptom trajectories over 25 Years of Americans’ Changing Lives
Results are consistent with those of other studies demonstrating a U-shaped form of depressive symptoms across the life course. However, a substantial sub-population with persistent depressive symptomatology over adulthood was also identified, whose predictors suggest the need to take a social determinants of health approach to disparities related to serious and persistent mental illness
Changes in Health Care Access and Utilization for Low-SES Adults Aged 51–64 Years After Medicaid Expansion
After Medicaid expansion, low-education status adults aged 51-64 years were more likely to be hospitalized, suggesting poor baseline access to chronic disease management and pent-up demand for hospital services
Mapping the two levels of digital divide: Internet access and social network site adoption among older adults in the USA
Older adults have increasingly adopted Internet and social network sites (SNSs), but little communication scholarship has explored systematic differences in access within this population. Using a nationally representative sample of Americans over the age of 50 years from the 2012 Health and Retirement Study, we examine Internet access (N = 18,851) and SNS adoption patterns (N = 869) among this sample and explore how these patterns vary by age. Re…
Recent Improvements in Cognitive Functioning Among Older U.S. Adults: How Much Does Increasing Educational Attainment Explain
Compression of cognitive morbidity is seen among the highly educated, and increasing educational opportunities may be an important strategy for decreasing the risk for cognitive impairment in later life
The relationships that matter: Social network site use and social wellbeing among older adults in the United States of America
An increasing number of middle-aged and older Americans are using social network sites (SNSs), but little research has addressed how SNS use is associated with social wellbeing outcomes in this population. Using a nationally representative sample of 1,620 Americans older than 50 from the 2012 Health and Retirement Study (HRS), we examine the relationship between older adults’ SNS use and social wellbeing associated with non-kin and kin relations …
Generations, Cohorts, and Social Change
Social Status, Risky Health Behaviors, and Diabetes in Middle-Aged and Older Adults
Risky health behaviors are key predictors of incident diabetes in both age groups. Economic resources also play an important protective role in incident diabetes in midlife but not in older age
Social Status and Risky Health Behaviors: Results From the Health and Retirement Study
Ascribed social statuses (and interactions of sex and race-ethnicity), which are important predictors of behavioral health risks even net of early life and achieved social status, should be explored in future research
Aging, Cohorts, and Verbal Ability
Within-age-group variation in vocabulary knowledge is vastly more important than age differences per se, and the complexities of the relationship of verbal skills to historical differences in the experience of schooling present an interesting avenue for future research
Aging versus Cohort Interpretations of Intercohort Differences in GSS Vocabulary Scores
We investigate the plausibility of aging versus cohort interpretations of cohort-linked differences in vocabulary knowledge using data from 13 GSS surveys over a 22-year period, 1974 to 1996. We argue that one way to assess the effects of aging in these surveys is to examine the diachronic data within cohorts and to assume minimal period effects. Holding cohort constant in this fashion reveals detectable effects of aging that are not likely to be…
