Diabetes Self-care among a Multiethnic Sample of Older Adults
Lay Explanations and Self-Management of Diabetes in Kathmandu, Nepal
Respondents from this sample appear to hold lay explanations of diabetes that are similar to those of their peers in developed nations. Findings are discussed, including the caveat that these mostly male, relatively educated, and urban-residing adults with diabetes are not necessarily representative of Nepali society
Situating Stress: Lessons from Lay Discourses on Diabetes
In response to the serious toll diabetes takes on health and resources, researchers increasingly are examining physical and psychological pathways that affect and are affected by diabetes, including stress. Although biomedical researchers and practitioners are beginning to recognize the association between stress and diabetes onset and management, laypersons have long-standing and extensive insights into the multiple ways in which stress is assoc…

Exploring the Factorial Structure of the EORTC QLQ-C30: Racial Differences in Measuring Health-Related Quality of Life in a Sample of Urban, Older Adults
Participants were not screened for cancer or other illnesses, which may contribute to differences between the known scoring model and these results. Researchers are advised to conduct separate analyses on racial/ethnic groups and to supplement the QLQ-C30 with additional items pertinent to the populations being studied and/or the conceptual/theoretical paradigm being tested
Assessing the reliability of the EORTC QLQ-C30 in a sample of older African American and Caucasian adults
Explaining Pathways of Care Taken by Elderly People: An Analysis of Responses to Illness Symptoms
This paper documents the pathways elderly people follow in managing illness symptoms. Illness behavior is conceptualized as a series of actions or decisions that occur over time in varying permutations or combinations. Data were collected through personal interviews completed by a sample of older people managing their health in community settings in upstate New York. Respondents also completed three weeks of health diaries. Multiple logistic regr…
The Realities of Aging: An Introduction to Gerontology
New edition of a textbook for this rapidly expanding discipline, addressing the important health and social issues of the elderly. Arrangement is in five sections: an introduction to the study, biomedical aspects of aging, aging in psychological and social perspective, the aged and society, and spec
Symptom Reporting During Physician Consultation: Results of a Health Diary Study
Most studies of physician consultation focus on decisions to contact health care providers. In this article, the authors examine decisions regarding which symptoms to report once people contact physicians. Data for the analysis were gathered through interviews and health diaries completed by a probability sample of 667 elderly people, based on a subsample of 152 respondents who consulted physicians during the 3-week reporting period. A qualitativ…
Variation in Long-Term Care Service Use by Aged Blacks: Data from the Supplement on Aging
Data from the Supplement on Aging to the 1984 National Health Interview Survey were used to identify patterns of long-term care (LTC) service use among older Blacks. A subset of the SOA, including all 1,217 Blacks aged 55 and over, was the focus of the research. About 37% of all older Blacks in the sample reported difficulty in carrying out at least one activity of daily living (ADL) or instrumental activity of daily living (IADL); 27% reported r…
Assessing Capacity for Self-Care among the Aged
Data drawn from the Supplement on Aging (SOA) to the 1984 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) were used to identify correlates of older persons' assessments of their capacity to provide self-care. The SOA data set consists of responses, based on personal interviews with 16,148 persons 55 years of age and older. Most assessed their capacity to care for themselves in positive terms; only 11% assessed their capacity to provide self-care as fair …

Family Relations of Aged Colonial Jews: A Testamentary Analysis
Content analysis of wills probated in New York State between 1704 and 1799 is used to reconstruct the family relations of aged colonial Jews. The modernisation theory of ageing provides a backdrop for this beginning effort to specify variations in family life in history. In general, regardless of marital status, aged Jewish colonial testators followed a familistic inheritance pattern. Individual wills contained articulated and vindictive bequests…
Retirement Policy in an Aging Society
Explicating Activity Theory: A Formal Replication
The principal intent of this paper is to replicate formally the work of Lemon, Bengtson, and Peterson (1972), the first researchers to carefully articulate a systematic statement of the activity theory of aging, but whose test of the theory resulted in disappointing ambiguous findings. Probability samples of three distinct types of retirement communities (N = 1209) provided far greater variation in background variables than existed in the origina…

Heterogeneity of the Elderly in Large Metropolitan Areas
This paper analyzes the degree of homogeneity of the elderly populations in large metro politan areas. For the 33 SMSAs with populations of one million or more in 1970, 18 social, economic, and demographic variables (derived from census materials) which describe the elderly in these SMSA's are examined. These data are subject to factor analysis. Factors are generated for the SMSAs (Q-analysis) and for the variables (R- analysis). Seven significan…
Black--White Differentials in the Institutionalization of the Elderly: A Temporal Analysis
This paper presents the results of a study which asks whether elderly blacks and whites are differentially distributed across 17 categories of institutions in which aged individuals may be institutionalized. Census data for 1950, 1960, and 1970 were employed. The state was the unit of analysis. The measure of variation in institutionalization was the index of dissimilarity. Substantial differences in the distributions of elderly blacks and whites…
