Race, Gender, and Socioeconomic Variations in C-Reactive Protein Using the Health and Retirement Study
In clarifying the complexity inherent in CRP disparities, this work contributes to a greater understanding of the biological mechanisms underlying racial disparities in leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the United States
Social relationships, leisure activity, and health in older adults.
OBJECTIVE: Although the link between enhanced social relationships and better health has generally been well established, few studies have examined the role of leisure activity in this link. This study examined how leisure influences the link between social relationships and health in older age. METHOD: Using data from the 2006 and 2010 waves of the nationally representative U.S. Health and Retirement Study and structural equation modeling analys…

Barriers to CRC Screening Among Latino Adults in Pennsylvania: ACCN Results
A targeted approach for CRC screening among Latinos may be better than the nontargeted approach
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
A Life-Span Developmental Perspective on Social Status and Health
This article presents a life-span developmental (LSD) perspective on the linkages between social status and health. The objective is to develop a conceptual framework that is useful in understanding why people are differentially exposed to risks of disease or protective factors and the social conditions that link the effects of risk and protective factors to the social environment over the life span. The discussion distinguishes between the compl…
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
It Takes Two: Marriage and Smoking Cessation in the Middle Years
These findings suggest that initiation and maintenance of this positive lifestyle change may be more easily achieved when both marital partners are given information and support to quit smoking at the same time
The Impact of Education and Heart Attack on Smoking Cessation among Middle- Aged Adults
