Leisure Activities, Stress, and Health among Bereaved and Non-Bereaved Elderly Men: The Normative Aging Study
Few studies have examined the effect that a resource such as leisure activities might have on the relationship between stress and health among elderly men. Data from the Normative Aging Study (NAS) were used to examine whether specific groups of leisure activities (social, solitary, and mixed activities; activities performed either alone or with others) moderated the effect of stress on the health of elderly men and whether there were differences…

Assessing Oral Health-Related Quality of Life: Findings from the Normative Aging Study
The contribution of oral health to health-related quality of life (HQOL) has seldom been examined. This study was designed to develop and validate a measure of oral health-related quality of life (OHQOL), examine relations between OHQOL and HQOL, and explore OHQOL's relation to problem-based dental care utilization in a sample of 1,242 older men, using data gathered by a mail survey. Factor analysis of eight oral health items revealed that three …
Does emotionality predict stress? Findings from the Normative Aging Study
Investigated whether emotionality, assessed in 1975, predicted the reporting of both objective stress (life events) and subjective stress (hassles) 10 years later, and how emotionality affected the relation between both objective and subjective stress and mental health. The sample consisted of 1,159 older men, participants in the Normative Aging Study. Path analysis revealed that the reporting of stress was confounded with personality: Individual…
Smoking and Aging
Smoking Cessation in a Prospective Study of Healthy Adult Males: Effects of Age, Time Period, and Amount Smoked
The present study examined effects on smoking cessation of three variables—chronological age, time period, and amount smoked—in 637 healthy male smokers aged 22-69 at baseline. Subjects were followed from 1962-1975 using life table procedures. Age was not significantly related to quitting rates (p = .150). The amount smoked effect approached significance (p = .096) with rates of quitting progressively lower at higher consumption levels. Powerful …
The effect of retirement on physical health
This prospective study compared pre- to post-retirement changes in physical health among male retirees with changes among age peers who continued to work. The 229 retirees and 409 workers aged 55-73 at follow-up were all participants in the Veterans Administration Normative Aging Study. Physical health at baseline and follow-up (three to four years apart) was rated on a four-point scale according to the findings of medical examinations. Although …
Relationship between cigarette smoking, chest size and body size in health-screened adult males
Previous investigations have shown that chest dimensions and pulmonary function are positively correlated in healthy individuals. It is not known, however, whether the pulmonary effects of cigarette smoking may modify chest size during adulthood. The present study used cross-sectional data from 1557 healthy male participants in the Normative Aging Study of the Veterans Administration Outpatient Clinic, Boston. Because elastic recoil of the lung i…
Longitudinal change in preferred age of retirement
It has been observed that among workers there is an inverse relationship between the proximity of retirement and its attractiveness. This study analysed the longitudinal change, over the ten years between two sampling times T 1 and T 2 , in preferred retirement age for a series of age cohorts. The sample included 1458 males aged 35–81 at T 2 . Cohort means at T 1 and T 2 and an additional residual change score both showed a similar trend in the d…
Smoking Cessation and Sex Role Convergence
This study investigates convergence in sex roles as shown by male and female smoking cessation rates. The literature already shows a convergence in proportion of smokers among males and fmalesfrom older to yonnger age cohorts, snlggesting an eqnalitarian shift over time. It was then hypothesized that a similar effect wonld be evident in the giving-np of smoking. Since from the literature females have been shown to be more responsive to
Age and Interpersonal Factors in Smoking Cessation
This study examines the relative importance of two independent variables, age and an interpersonal factor, for the dependent variable, smoking cessation. From the literature it was shown that affective interpersonal factors play an important role in the taking up of smoking on the part of the young. It was then hypothesized that aflectivity as measured by the interpersonal factor and age will also have an independent and a combined effect on smok…
