Loneliness and Subjective Wellbeing During the Covid-19 Pandemic: A Systematic Review
To be happy and behave in a healthier way. A longitudinal study about gender differences in the older population
INTRODUCTION: Subjective well-being plays a key role in health. The objectives of this study are to analyse the longitudinal associations between subjective well-being dimensions and healthy behaviours, and to examine gender differences. METHOD: A representative sample of 1,190 Spanish non-institutionalised adults aged 50+ were interviewed over a 6-year follow-up period. The Cantril scale was used to measure evaluative well-being. The Day Reconst…
Connecting and feeling: Associations between social factors and emotions in nine countries
We aimed to explore the distribution of positive and negative emotions across nine low‐, middle‐ and high‐income countries; and the association between social factors and these emotions. Data were drawn from the SAGE and the COURAGE studies, with 52,553 participants. Emotions were assessed through the day reconstruction method.Sociodemographic characteristics and social factors were also measured. Multiple linear regressions were performed. Finla…
Comprehending socio-relational factors of mental wellbeing in the oldest old within Nordic and Mediterranean countries
Socio-relational aspects are essential for mental wellbeing (MWB), especially in the oldest old age. Our study aims to explore the socio-relational aspects related to MWB in accordance with the experiences of the oldest old of four European countries; and to examine how these differ between Mediterranean and Nordic people. A total of 117 participants aged 80+ years old were recruited, and 23 focus groups were performed. Qualitative content analys…
Is there a combined effect of depression and cognitive reserve on cognitive function? Findings from a population-based study
OBJECTIVE: To analyse the combined effect of depression and cognitive reserve (CR) on cognition over a three-year follow-up period; and to explore this relationship specifically in individuals aged 65+ years. DESIGN: = 1,144; 50+ years). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The Composite International Diagnostic Interview was used to evaluate depression. CR was assessed with the Cognitive Reserve Questionnaire. Episodic memory was assessed with the word list m…
Determinants of Subjective Wellbeing Trajectories in Older Adults: A Growth Mixture Modeling Approach
Is Mental Well-Being in the Oldest Old Different from That in Younger Age Groups? Exploring the Mental Well-Being of the Oldest-Old Population in Europe
The oldest-old population is increasing in Europe, and greater focus is placed on promoting mental well-being (MWB) in this population. The European Welfare Models and Mental Wellbeing in Final Years of Life project aims to develop a better understanding of how best to promote positive MWB in the oldest-old population. Using a resources approach, the present study aimed to provide empirical evidence about the structure of MWB in the 80 + year age…
Changes in Health Behaviors, Mental and Physical Health among Older Adults under Severe Lockdown Restrictions during the Covid-19 Pandemic in Spain
We used data from 3041 participants in four cohorts of community-dwelling individuals aged ≥65 years in Spain collected through a pre-pandemic face-to-face interview and a telephone interview conducted between weeks 7 to 15 after the beginning of the COVID-19 lockdown. On average, the confinement was not associated with a deterioration in lifestyle risk factors (smoking, alcohol intake, diet, or weight), except for a decreased physical activity a…
Functioning profiles in a nationally representative cohort of Spanish older adults: A latent class study
Ageing well involves individuals continuing participating in personal, social and civic affairs even in older age. From this standpoint, limitations in individual's functioning (beyond the mere absence of disease) may drastically impact on how well people becoming older. This study aimed to identify functional status profiles in a nationally representative sample of older adults, using latent class analysis methods. Moreover, it intended to study…
Exploring the effect of loneliness on all-cause mortality: Are there differences between older adults and younger and middle-aged adults
Are loneliness and social isolation associated with cognitive decline?
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to examine the association of loneliness and social isolation on cognition over a 3-year follow-up period in middle- and older-aged adults. METHODS: Data from a Spanish nationally representative sample were analyzed (n = 1691; aged 50 years or older). Loneliness, social isolation, and cognition (immediate recall, delayed recall, verbal fluency, forward digit span, backward digit span, and a composite cognitive score) w…
Does loneliness contribute to mild cognitive impairment and dementia? A systematic review and meta-analysis of longitudinal studies
Loneliness and depression in the elderly: The role of social network
Sociodemographic Factors Associated With Changes in Successful Aging in Spain: A Follow-Up Study
The biomedical and psychosocial components of SA need to be addressed specifically to achieve the best aging trajectories
Global Multimorbidity Patterns: A Cross-Sectional, Population-Based, Multi-Country Study
BACKGROUND: Population ageing challenges health care systems due to the high prevalence and impact of multimorbidity in older adults. However, little is known about how chronic conditions present in certain multimorbidity patterns, which could have great impact on public health at several levels. The aim of our study was to identify and describe multimorbidity patterns in low-, middle-, and high-income countries. METHODS: We analyzed data from th…
Visual impairment and multimorbidity in a representative sample of the Spanish population
Arthritis, stroke and the co-occurrence of various chronic physical diseases are associated with higher prevalence of visual impairment. Visual impairment is associated with higher prevalence of depression and poorer cognitive function results. There is a need to implement patient-centered care involving special visual assessment in these cases
