The Role of Parent and Peer Support in Attentional and Impulsivity Problems From Adolescence to Young Adulthood
The Role of Parent and Peer Support on Attentional and Impulsivity Problems from Adolescence to Young Adulthood
or exacerbated depending on the degree of environmental pressures that affect risk traits (Caye et al., 2017).These environmental pressures are themselves expected to change across the life course, which may explain the apparent late-onset of symptoms and heterogeneity in trajectories.Similarly, the Life Transition Model of ADHD suggests that the waxing and waning of symptoms and severity of impairment depends on the balance between the level of …
Personality traits, cognitive states, and mortality in older adulthood
80 years; 74% female) over up to 23 annual assessments. Multistate survival modeling examined the extent to which conscientiousness, neuroticism, and extraversion, assessed using the NEO Five Factor Inventory, were associated with transitions between cognitive status categories and death. Additionally, multinomial regression models estimated cognitive health span and total survival based on standard deviation units of personality traits. Adjustin…
A Coordinated Multi-study Analysis of the Longitudinal Association Between Handgrip Strength and Cognitive Function in Older Adults
OBJECTIVE: Handgrip strength, an indicator of overall muscle strength, has been found to be associated with slower rate of cognitive decline and decreased risk for cognitive impairment and dementia. However, evaluating the replicability of associations between aging-related changes in physical and cognitive functioning is challenging due to differences in study designs and analytical models. A multiple-study coordinated analysis approach was used…
Systematic Review of Pulmonary Function and Cognition in Aging
Memory Decline and Depression Onset in U.S. and European Older Adults
Objectives: We explore the association between different patterns of change in depressive symptoms and memory trajectories in US and European Mediterranean (Spain, France, Italy, and Israel) and non-Mediterranean (Sweden, Denmark, Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, and Austria) older adults. Methods: Samples consisted of 3,466 participants from the Health Retirement Study (HRS) and 3,940 participants from the Survey of Health, Aging and …
Visuospatial Reasoning Trajectories and Death in a Study of the Oldest Old
We confirmed an association between visuospatial reasoning and death under plausible missing data assumptions
Increases in Neuroticism May Be an Early Indicator of Dementia
Replication of our previous work in 2 additional datasets provides compelling evidence that increases in neuroticism may be early indication of dementia, which can facilitate development of screening assessments
Variability and Coupling of Olfactory Identification and Episodic Memory in Older Adults
BSIT and EM fluctuate together over measurement occasions, particularly for individuals with AD pathology. Repeated intraindividual measurements provide information that could lead to early detection and inexpensive monitoring of accumulating AD pathology
Personality predicts mortality risk
Are Changes in Self-Rated Health Associated With Memory Decline in Older Adults
Our findings suggest that SRH status and patterns of change could be used as a marker of cognitive decline in prevention screening programs
Trajectories of Personality Traits Preceding Dementia Diagnosis
Personality change, specifically an increase in neuroticism, may be an early indicator of dementia. Identification of early indicators of dementia may facilitate development of screening assessments and aid in early care strategies and planning
Correlated and Coupled Trajectories of Cancer-Related Worries and Depressive Symptoms among Long-Term Cancer Survivors
The quality of life over time of long-term survivors has become an important part of both cancer and aging research. This paper examines individual differences in trajectories of cancer-related worries and depressive symptoms of 179 participants who completed four waves of annual interviews. Cancer-related worries were significantly associated with both initial level and trajectories of depressive symptoms. In a parallel process growth curve mode…
Coordinated Analysis of Age, Sex, and Education Effects on Change in MMSE Scores
OBJECTIVES: We describe and compare the expected performance trajectories of older adults on the Mini-Mental Status Examination (MMSE) across six independent studies from four countries in the context of a collaborative network of longitudinal studies of aging. A coordinated analysis approach is used to compare patterns of change conditional on sample composition differences related to age, sex, and education. Such coordination accelerates evalua…
Developmental Change and Time-Specific Variation in Global and Specific Aspects of Self-Concept in Adolescence and Association With Depressive Symptoms
Previous research has demonstrated that adolescents make differential self-evaluations in multiple domains that include physical appearance, academic competence, and peer acceptance. We report growth curve analyses over a seven year period from age 9 to age 16 on the six domains of the Harter Self-Perception Profile for Children. In general, we find little change in self-concept, on average, but do find substantial individual differences in level…
Relations between preschool attention span-persistence and age 25 educational outcomes
An Evaluation of Analytical Approaches for Understanding Change in Cognition in the Context of Aging and Health
We make the case for focusing on the interdependency between within-person changes in health and cognition and suggest methods that would support this
Terminal Decline From Within- and Between-Person Perspectives, Accounting for Incident Dementia
Within-person evidence of terminal decline is not as strong as previously published between-person results. Strategies for focusing models on longitudinal aspects of available data and the extent to which lack of within-person evidence for terminal decline may stem from common data limitations are discussed
Toward an Integrative Science of Life-Span Development and Aging
The study of aging demands an integrative life-span developmental framework, involving interdisciplinary collaborations and multiple methodological approaches for understanding how and why individuals change, in both normative and idiosyncratic ways. We highlight and summarize some of the issues encountered when conducting integrative research for understanding aging-related change, including, the integration of results across different levels of…
