An exploration of sources of bias in population models of cognitive aging and accelerated decline
Linearized models of cognitive decline yielded high levels of bias that were sensitive to variations in study design and analytic choices. Results support shifting towards methods modeling accelerated decline in studies of cognitive aging and decline
The Mediating Role of Anger and Anxiety in the Association of Social Support with Mobility Among Middle-Age and Older Adults with Knee Osteoarthritis
Although limited by their cross-sectional nature, the findings suggest that at least part of the association of social support with mobility may be explained by the role of support in alleviating anxiety
What makes left-behind children resilient? And how? The role of hope on the resilience of Chinese left-behind children
Health Outcomes of Elder Orphans
Momentary Associations of Osteoarthritis Pain and Affect
Results confirm previous work on the relation of chronic pain with both global depressive symptoms and short-term affect. This research further demonstrates a unique moderating role of depression on the association of momentary pain with NA and suggests that the causal path may be stronger from pain to affect than vice versa
Estimated Prevalence of Elder Orphans Using National Health and Aging Trends Study
Objectives: By 2050, individuals aged 65 years and older will comprise over 20% of the American population. A portion is at risk for becoming elder orphans: older adults living in the community who lack caregivers or surrogates. Methods: Using the first wave of the National Health and Aging Trends Survey, we estimated the prevalence of older adults who reside in the community, who are socially or physically isolated, and who lack caregivers. Indi…
Momentary Reports of Fatigue Predict Physical Activity Level
Objective: Fatigue is commonly reported by persons with osteoarthritis (OA) and predicts worse functioning and decreased activity. The current research used a combination of wrist and waist accelerometry along with experience sampling methodology to examine the relationship between reports of fatigue and subsequent physical activity among older adults with knee OA. Method: Two hundred one participants completed an interview followed by a 1-week p…
Education and Cognitive Decline
These results are consistent with cognitive reserve theory, suggesting that education reduces risk of ADRD-pattern cognitive decline. Follow-up work should seek to differentiate specific dementia types involved and consider potential mechanisms
Giving to Others and the Association Between Stress and Mortality
Objectives. We sought to test the hypothesis that providing help to others predicts a reduced association between stress and mortality. Methods. We examined data from participants (n = 846) in a study in the Detroit, Michigan, area. Participants completed baseline interviews that assessed past-year stressful events and whether the participant had provided tangible assistance to friends or family members. Participant mortality and time to death wa…
Breast cancer anxiety's associations with responses to a chemoprevention decision aid
Abandoning the language of “response shift”
Caregiving Behavior Is Associated With Decreased Mortality Risk
Traditional investigations of caregiving link it to increased caregiver morbidity and mortality, but do not disentangle the effects of providing care from those of being continuously exposed to an ailing loved one with serious health problems. We explored this possible confound in a national, longitudinal survey of elderly married individuals ( N = 3,376). Results showed that spending at least 14 hr per week providing care to a spouse predicted d…
Measuring Numeracy without a Math Test
Background. Basic numeracy skills are necessary before patients can understand the risks of medical treatments. Previous research has used objective measures, similar to mathematics tests, to evaluate numeracy. Objectives. To design a subjective measure (i.e., self-assessment) of quantitative ability that distinguishes low- and high-numerate individuals yet is less aversive, quicker to administer, and more useable for telephone and Internet surve…
Making Numbers Matter
Sensitivity to disgust, stigma, and adjustment to life with a colostomy
The confounded nature of angry men and happy women
Findings of 7 studies suggested that decisions about the sex of a face and the emotional expressions of anger or happiness are not independent: Participants were faster and more accurate at detecting angry expressions on male faces and at detecting happy expressions on female faces. These findings were robust across different stimulus sets and judgment tasks and indicated bottom-up perceptual processes rather than just top-down conceptually drive…
Why are You Calling Me? How Study Introductions Change Response Patterns
Providing Social Support May Be More Beneficial Than Receiving It
This study examines the relative contributions of giving versus receiving support to longevity in a sample of older married adults. Baseline indicators of giving and receiving support were used to predict mortality status over a 5-year period in the Changing Lives of Older Couples sample. Results from logistic regression analyses indicated that mortality was significantly reduced for individuals who reported providing instrumental support to frie…
Building a Better Quality Measure
BACKGROUND: National performance measures monitor the proportion of diabetic patients with low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels >/=130 mg/dL, but such simple intermediate outcomes measure poor control, not necessarily poor care. "Tightly linked" quality measures define good quality either by a good intermediate outcome (LDL /=130 mg/dL using the simple intermediate outcome measure, only 13% (148 of 1154) were classified as having substandard qual…
Racial Disparities in Diabetes Care Processes, Outcomes, and Treatment Intensity
BACKGROUND: Black Americans with diabetes have a higher burden of illness and mortality than do white Americans. However, the extent to which differences in medical care processes and treatment intensity contribute to poorer diabetes outcomes is unknown. OBJECTIVE: To assess racial disparities in the quality of diabetes care processes, intermediate outcomes, and treatment intensity. METHODS: We conducted an observational study of 801 white and 11…
Target complicity in the confirmation and disconfirmation of erroneous perceiver expectations
The authors explored the role of target self-presentational goals in the expectation confirmation process within the context of simulated employment interviews. As predicted, applicants encouraged to be deferential inadvertently succumbed to their interviewers' expectation; applicants encouraged to be challenging, to advance their own agenda, did not. The challenging-motivated applicants succeeded in disconfirming negative expectations by present…
When We Observe Stigmatized and "Normal" Individuals Interacting
The stigmatization process might differ as a function of whether "marked" individuals are viewed within a context of other marked individuals or in the context of positively viewed "normals. "Several alternative impression outcomes seem plausible the destigmatization by association of marked individuals, the stigmatization by association of normal individuals, a contrast effect, or no influence of context. Two experiments produced evidence only f…
