Human-animal interaction as a social determinant of health
The findings from this study could indicate a relationship between pet ownership and depression, but it is impossible to determine the directionality of that relationship. It is possible that owning a pet may put a person at an increased risk of developing depression, or individuals who are at risk, or who have already developed depression, may acquire a pet as a way of managing their depressive symptoms. The findings of this study provide an ini…
City Planning/Urban Design
City planning encompasses the policies and processes that influence the development of towns, cities, and regions. Planning has occurred throughout the history of early cities, but it was not until the early twentieth century that city planning emerged as a distinct discipline. Like the early urban sociologists, early planners sought to address the physical and social problems that had arisen in the rapidly growing industrial cities. By the mid‐1…

Modeling US Adult Obesity Trends
Objectives. We present a system dynamics model that quantifies the energy imbalance gap responsible for the US adult obesity epidemic among gender and racial subpopulations. Methods. We divided the adult population into gender–race/ethnicity subpopulations and body mass index (BMI) classes. We defined transition rates between classes as a function of metabolic dynamics of individuals within each class. We estimated energy intake in each BMI class…
Systems Science for Obesity-Related Research Questions
As the prevalence of overweight and obesity has steadily increased over the past several decades, reversing the obesity epidemic has become of paramount importance in the United States and around the globe. How to do this has been the subject of much research and debate. What makes the problem so vexing is not only the enormity of the problem in terms of sheer numbers of affected individuals, but the complexity of multiple interacting forces that…
The inconsistent mediating effects of psychosocial work characteristics on the education-health relationship
Historical Regimes and Social Indicators of Resilience in an Urban System
Bures, R., and W. Kanapaux. 2011. Historical regimes and social indicators of resilience in an urban system: the case of Charleston, South Carolina. Ecology and Society 16(4): 16. https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-04293-160416
Moving the Nest
Using data from the 1992-2000 waves of the Health and Retirement Study, this article examines the relationship between the presence and age of children in the home and parental mobility in midlife. Although a substantial literature evaluates the factors affecting the timing of children leaving (and returning) home, less attention has been paid to the residential changes that parents may experience during this stage of the family life cycle. As yo…
Immigrant Families Over the Life Course
Family researchers and policy makers are giving increasing attention to the consequences of immigration for families. Immigration affects the lives of family members who migrate as well as those who remain behind and has important consequences for family formation, kinship ties, living arrangements, and children's outcomes. We present a selective review of the literature on immigrant families in the United States, focusing on key research themes …
Living Arrangements Over the Life Course
Living arrangements are influenced by social and demographic trends. Changes in social norms related to marriage, childbearing, educational attainment, and women's employment have reshaped families, making residential family membership much less continuous over the life course. The increasing complexity of family living arrangements makes a life course perspective essential for understanding families. The special issue titled 'Living Arrangements…
Childlessness, Parenthood, and Depressive Symptoms Among Middle-Aged and Older Adults
Prior research has examined whether parenthood is associated with higher levels of well-being among older adults, but definitions of parental status have varied. The authors examine links between parental status and depressive symptoms among older adults, comparing biological and social definitions of parenthood. The study finds few differences between biological and social parenthood but substantial variation in the relationship between parental…
Childhood Residential Stability and Health at Midlife
Objectives. This study examined the association between 2 dimensions of adults’ self-rated health and residential stability in childhood. Methods. Using data from the nationally representative survey Midlife in the United States, I assessed the impact of neighborhood and family stability on positive perceptions of global health and mental health in midlife. Results. Neighborhood stability in childhood is associated with a significant increase in …
The Racial Crossover in Family Complexity in the United States
This article examines the evolution of the black extended family by documenting a black-white crossover in the proportions of unmarried adults living in complex households after the middle of the twentieth century. We demonstrate significant racial differences in the trends in complex household residence over the life course, characterized by far greater declines in complex living among whites, particularly at younger ages. In this context, the h…
A century (plus) of parenthood
This paper summarizes the broad foundations of the changing nature of parenthood by examining trends in coresidence with children under age 15. Our study uses data from the Integrated Public Use Microdata Samples (IPUMS) to provide a portrait of demographic parenthood in the US over the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In describing changes in parenthood over the past 110 years, we distinguish between those living with own children and those l…
Parental Divorce and the 'Switching' of Religious Identity
This article examines the impact of parental divorce on the likelihood that an individual has changed their religious identify. Using data from the National Survey of Family and Households, we use a theoretical framework of family structure and community ties to test the hypothesis that religious mobility is more likely among children of divorce compared to those from intact families. Distinguishing between parental divorce in childhood and paren…
Migration and the life course
This paper focuses on pre-elderly (ages 55–64) net migration in the United States for the period 1980–90, to explore the hypothesis that there exists a ‘retirement transition’ that characterizes pre-elderly migration. While previous research has demonstrated variation in migration patterns over the life course, these studies generally imply that both migration motivations and destinations change abruptly at age 65. Little effort has been made to …
Migration and the life course
This paper focuses on pre-elderly (ages 55-64) net migration in the United States for the period 1980-90, to explore the hypothesis that there exists a ¿retirement transition' that characterizes pre-elderly migration.... This research uses ordinary least squares regression to compare the effects of demographic, economic, and amenity factors on county-level net migration rates for five age groups: the young (25-44), the middle-aged (45-54), the pr…
