Investigating Feasibility in a Pilot Intergenerational Program Bringing Preschool Children and Older Adults Together in the Community (Interaction)
This pilot study explores the feasibility of a novel intergenerational program bringing preschool children and community-dwelling older adults together. This paper reports the acceptability of this program and the feasibility of collecting empirically robust assessment measures. Using a non-randomized wait-listed controlled trial design, 20 children were recruited across two preschools, with one preschool assigned to the intervention group (n = 1…
The NIH toolbox emotion battery and cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers in Alzheimer’s disease
These findings suggest that socioemotional functioning may be associated with tau pathology. Amyloid markers were not associated with socioemotional functioning in either cognitive group. Future studies with larger, more diverse samples and harmonized CSF assay protocols are needed to further investigate the role of socioemotional changes in the early detection and prevention of dementia
I-Conect intervention effects on weekly time spent outside of home and social contacts among socially isolated older adults
Background Socially isolated individuals tend to have less access to cognitively stimulating activities, which could adversely impact their cognitive health. The Internet-Based Conversational Engagement Clinical Trial (I-CONECT) intervention was designed to deliver online conversation sessions to socially isolated older old adults to prevent cognitive decline. The current study examined the intervention efficacy on participants’ weekly time spent…
Heat Waves and Adverse Health Events Among Dually Eligible Individuals 65 Years and Older
In this time-series study, heat waves were associated with increased adverse health events among dually eligible individuals 65 years and older. Without adaptation strategies to address the health-related impacts of heat, dually eligible individuals are increasingly likely to face adverse outcomes
The Paradox in Positive and Negative Aspects of Emotional Functioning Among Older Adults with Early Stages of Cognitive Impairment
Introduction: Emotional functioning in older adults is influenced by normal aging and cognitive impairment, likely heterogeneous across positive versus negative aspects of emotional functioning. Little is known about positive emotional experiences at the early stages of cognitive impairment. Methods: We assessed different aspects of emotional functioning among 448 participants aged 65+ (Normal Control (NC) = 276, Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) =…
Depressive symptoms in older adult couples
Less social activity and fewer close friends were associated with depressive symptoms in older adult couples, but may be distinctly influential depending on gender and in the context of the older adult couple's physical health
Falls in community‐dwelling prefrail older adults
Frailty has been established as a risk factor for falls, and prefrailty also seems a risk; however, few studies have focused on the association between falls and each of the five components of frailty proposed by Fried. In the present study, we sought to elucidate the association between prefrailty and falls, and moreover, the association of frailty component with falls. Participants were community-dwelling older people who had cognitive complain…
Longitudinal Relationship Between Loneliness and Social Isolation in Older Adults
These results suggest that average level of isolation and increases in the level of isolation are closely tied to loneliness, which has implications for future assessment or monitoring of loneliness in older adult populations
Intelligent Systems for Assessing Aging Changes
These results demonstrate for the first time the feasibility of engaging seniors in a large-scale deployment of in-home activity assessment technology and the successful collection of these activity metrics. We plan to use this platform to determine if continuous unobtrusive monitoring may detect incident cognitive decline
Gambling Participation and Social Support Among Older Adults
Sex Segregation and Glass Ceilings
A comparative statics model is utilized to examine mechanisms of gender inequality: gender distribution (skew), gender segregation (composition), occupational captivity, hierarchical ceilings, glass ceilings, and internal labor market (ILM) structure/network linkages. The analysis examines new linkages between sex segregation and glass ceilings; two elements of sex segregation–composition and captivity; and two elements of glass ceilings–pathways…
Movements out of Poverty among Elderly Widows
Elderly widows are disproportionately in poverty in the United States. However, past research has also shown that a significant number of poor elderly widows do move out of poverty. This work addresses two questions: What are the characteristics of elderly widows who exited from poverty, and what is the magnitude of the increase in income at the time of exit? An event history approach was taken using monthly data from the Survey of Income and Pro…
Despair, Distrust and Dissatisfaction Among Blacks and Women, 1973-1987
Discontent among American blacks and women is examined with indicators of the anomia of despair and distrust, and of job and financial dissatisfaction. Nine years of General Social Survey data covering 1973 through 1987 show that blacks' discontent exceeds whites' in most instances examined; and black women more frequently show significantly higher discontent than other race/gender groups. Also, blacks' discontent more often exceeds whites' among…
