The Continued Eclipse of Heterogeneity in Gerontological Research
OBJECTIVES: After a long history of neglect, diversity among older people and increasing heterogeneity with age are now familiar ideas in gerontological discourse. We take up the question of whether this increased attention is translating into the domain of empirical research. We replicate Nelson and Dannefer's (1992) review of the treatment of age-based variability in gerontological research, the most recent known assessment of the issue. METHOD…
Do Local Social Hierarchies Matter for Mental Health? A Study of Neighborhood Social Status and Depressive Symptoms in Older Adults
These findings suggest that an older adult's relative position in a local social hierarchy is associated with his/her mental health, net of absolute position
From Noise to Signal
The findings contribute to scientific understanding of the source of heterogeneity in late-life health and highlight the need to further investigate specific life course mechanisms that generate the social patterning of intra-individual variability in health status
When Do Older Adults Become 'Disabled'? Social and Health Antecedents of Perceived Disability in a Panel Study of the Oldest Old
Disability carries negative social meaning, and little is known about when (or if), in the process of health decline, persons identify themselves as 'disabled.' We examine the social and health criteria that older adults use to subjectively rate their own disability status. Using a panel study of older adults (ages 72+), we estimate ordered probit and growth curve models of perceived disability over time. Total prevalent morbidity, functional lim…
A 3-D Model of Health Decline
Much of the research on health decline in older adulthood has specified a single causal direction between two health domains, often measured at the same time point, making it difficult to disentangle the mechanisms of health decline over time. Using three waves of data over seven years from older residents of North Carolina, a 3-D model is used to examine the temporal ordering of general health decline and the pathways of influence across three h…
Cumulative Disadvantage and Health
Drawing from cumulative disadvantage theory, the health consequences of obesity are considered in light of the accumulation of risk factors over the life course. Two forms of compensation are also examined to determine if the risk due to obesity is persistent or modifiable. Analyses make use of data from a national survey to examine the consequences of obesity on disability among respondents 45 years of age or older, tracked across 20 years (N = …
Whose Promise Kept? Frame Construction within the Promise Keepers
The Promise Keepers, a men's evangelical movement, has experienced tremendous growth and success since its inception in 1990. Relying on a variety of data, including participant-observations at two Promise Keeper rallies, I demonstrate that the PK ideological frame developed at the intersection of two broader social trends: the Men's Movement and evangelical membership growth. PK has adopted both traditional and emerging evangelical issues to app…
