Post-traumatic stress in older, community-dwelling adults with hypertension during the Covid-19 pandemic
COVID-19 pandemic-related traumatic stress (PRTS) symptoms are reported in various populations, but risk factors in older adults with chronic medical conditions, remain understudied. We therefore examined correlates and pre-pandemic predictors of PRTS in older adults with hypertension during COVID-19. Participants in California, aged 61-92 years ( n = 95), participated in a pre-pandemic healthy aging trial and later completed a COVID-19 assessmen…
Systemic Inflammation and Cognitive Decrements in Patients With Stage B Heart Failure
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the role of systemic inflammation in reduced cognitive functioning in patients with early-stage heart failure (HF) while determining associations with other cardiovascular risk factors. METHODS: Patients with stage B HF (n = 270; mean [standard deviation] age = 66.1 [10.1] years) were examined cross-sectionally for relationships among cardiovascular disease (CVD) and psychological risk factors, C-reactiv…
The Relationship Between Circulating Interleukin-6 Levels and Future Health Service Use in Dementia Caregivers
OBJECTIVE: Older adults are among the most frequent users of emergency departments (EDs). Nonspecific symptoms, such as fatigue and widespread pain, are among the most common symptoms in patients admitted at the ED. Interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) are inflammation biomarkers associated with chronic stress (i.e., dementia caregiving) and nonspecific symptoms. This study aimed to determine whether IL-6 and TNF-α were prospe…
