Trends over 45 years in personality traits among older populations
Objective Substantial literature indicates that personality traits are integral to well-being and health in aging. We examined time trends in personality over birth cohorts spanning 45 years. Methods We used two community-based studies of 3,000 older adults at Rush Alzheimer’s Disease Center, continuously enrolled since the 1990s and born across seven birth cohorts: 1905–1914, 1915–1919, 1920–1924, 1925–1929, 1930–1934, 1935–1939, and 1940–1950. …
Change in Decision-Making Analysis and Preferences in Old Age
Decision making analysis and preferences change over time in late life. Change over time in decision making components is relatively independent and differentially related to age and cognitive reserve
A coordinated analysis of the associations among personality traits, cognitive decline, and dementia in older adulthood
Associations Between Personality Traits and Cognitive Resilience in Older Adults
Personality may have a pathoplastic effect on neuropathology, as low neuroticism and high conscientiousness are associated with better function despite neuropathologic burden
Associations of literacy with diabetes indicators in older adults
BACKGROUND: Literacy, the ability to access, understand and utilise information and concepts from diverse sources in ways that promote good outcomes is key to successful ageing. Domain-specific health and financial literacy are particularly relevant to older adults as they face increasingly complex health and financial demands including those related to chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes. We therefore investigated the associations of literac…

Decline in Literacy and Incident AD Dementia Among Community-Dwelling Older Persons
Declining literacy among community-dwelling older persons predicts adverse cognitive outcomes and serves as an early indicator of impending dementia
Gene-Behavior Interaction of Depressive Symptoms and the Apolipoprotein E [Latin Small Letter Open E]4 Allele on Cognitive Decline
OBJECTIVE: Depressive symptoms and the apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 allele are independent risk factors for cognitive decline. However, it is not clear whether the presence of both depressive symptoms and the APOE ε4 allele increases cognitive decline. METHODS: A prospective study of a population-based sample of 4150 (70% African American and 63% women) participants 65 years and older who were interviewed at 3-year intervals was conducted. Depressi…

Accounting for Bias Due to Selective Attrition
BACKGROUND: Selective attrition may introduce bias into analyses of the determinants of cognitive decline. This is a concern especially for risk factors, such as smoking, that strongly influence mortality and dropout. Using inverse-probability-of-attrition weights, we examined the influence of selective attrition on the estimated association of current smoking (vs. never smoking) with cognitive decline. METHODS: Chicago Health and Aging Project p…
The Relationship Between Physical Activity and Cognition in Older Latinos
Findings suggest that the cognitive benefits of both light-intensity PA and moderate/vigorous PA may be domain-specific
Harm Avoidance and Risk of Alzheimer's Disease
OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that harm avoidance, a trait associated with behavioral inhibition, is associated with the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD). METHODS: A total of 791 adults 55 years and older without dementia completed a standard self-report measure of harm avoidance. They then underwent annual evaluations that included detailed cognitive testing and clinical classification of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), dementia,…
Enrichment Effects on Adult Cognitive Development
In this monograph, we ask whether various kinds of intellectual, physical, and social activities produce cognitive enrichment effects—that is, whether they improve cognitive performance at different points of the adult life span, with a particular emphasis on old age. We begin with a theoretical framework that emphasizes the potential of behavior to influence levels of cognitive functioning. According to this framework, the undeniable presence of…
Chronic Distress, Age-Related Neuropathology, and Late-Life Dementia
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to test whether common age-related neuropathology could account for the relation of chronic distress to dementia. METHODS: In a selected cohort of more than 1000 older Catholic clergy members undergoing annual clinical evaluations, 326 persons died, of whom 306 (94%) underwent brain autopsy, the results of which were available in 219 (mean age at death = 85.4, standard deviation [SD] = 6.6; mean postmort…
Frailty is Associated With Incident Alzheimer’s Disease and Cognitive Decline in the Elderly
OBJECTIVE: To assess the association between frailty and incident Alzheimer's disease (AD) and cognitive decline. Frailty is common in older persons and associated with adverse health outcomes. METHODS: Study subjects included 823 older persons without dementia who participated in the Rush Memory and Aging Project, a longitudinal study of aging, and underwent annual assessments of frailty, cognition, and diagnostic evaluation for AD. RESULTS: Dur…
Terminal Cognitive Decline
OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that rate of cognitive decline accelerates in the last years of life. METHODS: Participants are 853 older persons without dementia at study onset. For up to 8 years, they underwent annual clinical evaluations that included a battery of 19 cognitive tests from which previously established composite measures of global cognition and specific cognitive domains were derived. In analyses, we used linear mixed-effects m…
Neuroticism, Extraversion, and Mortality in a Defined Population of Older Persons
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to test the association of the personality traits of neuroticism and extraversion with risk of death in old age. METHODS: A census was taken of a geographically defined urban community in Chicago, and those aged 65 years or older were invited to participate in an in-home interview; 6158 (79% of those eligible) did so. The interview included brief measures of neuroticism and extraversion, medical history,…
Black-White Differences in Depressive Symptoms Among Older Adults Over Time
This study examines racial differences in depressive symptoms among older adults over time. The subjects were 4,275 community-dwelling persons aged 65 and older (62% Black) who participated in the Chicago Health and Aging Project (CHAP) during a period of 9 years. Depression was measured using a summary score of the 10-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression scale (CES-D). We modeled depressive symptoms using the method of General Estima…
Personality and Mortality in Old Age
We examined the relation of personality to mortality in 883 older Catholic clergy members (69% women). At baseline, they completed the NEO Five-Factor Inventory, which assesses the five principal dimensions of personality. They were followed for a mean of 5.1 years, during which 182 deaths occurred. Risk of death was nearly doubled in those with a high neuroticism score (90th percentile) compared with a low score (10th percentile) and was approxi…
Predictors of Depressive Symptoms in Persons With Alzheimer's Disease
In a 4-year longitudinal study, we evaluated factors related to the development of depressive symptoms in 410 persons with Alzheimer's disease. We measured depressive symptoms annually by using the 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale, which we completed by using structured interviews with family members. On the basis of informant ratings of premorbid personality, we associated neuroticism with a higher rate of depressive symptoms, particularly mood dis…
Decline of Language Among Women and Men With Alzheimer's Disease
Previous research raises the possibility that gender differences occur in language function in Alzheimer's disease, but this hypothesis has not been evaluated systematically in longitudinal studies. The authors examined the association of gender with rate of decline in language and other cognitive functions among 410 persons with Alzheimer's disease. Participants were recruited from a dementia clinic and followed for up to 5 annual evaluations. F…

Psychological features of Huntington's disease and the problem of early detection
Huntington's disease (HD) is a chronic degenerative neurologic disorder inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. Symptom onset typically occurs at about age 40, and considerable effort has been expended in attempts to diagnose the disorder prior to the childbearing years. We review attempts to use psychological tests in early diagnosis. Specifically, we identify variables that show promise as early markers of the disorder, review evidence that a…
