Changes in social connection, physical activity, and positive psychological attributes associated with grief-related symptoms and depression among bereaved older women during Covid-19
Older women are disproportionately affected by spousal bereavement, yet little is known about how social, lifestyle, and positive psychological factors correlate with grief-related symptoms and depression following partner loss. We examined these associations among 1946 older women (mean age =84.6 years) in the Women's Health Initiative who experienced spousal or partner loss during COVID-19. Changes in social connection, physical activity, and p…
Air Pollutants and Breast Cancer Risk
Objectives. To determine whether outdoor air pollution exposure is associated with breast cancer incidence. Methods. Residential-level concentrations of nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 , parts per billion [ppb]), fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ; ≤ 2.5 μ/m 3 ) and ozone (ppb) in the United States were estimated for participants of the Nurses’ Health Studies, Women’s Health Initiative Clinical Trials and Observational Study Cohort, and Sister Study using h…
Intergenerational Occurrence of Premature Birth and Reproductive Health in Prematurely-Born Women in the Women’s Health Initiative
Preterm-born women had higher reproductive and pregnancy risks which when coupled with early menopause, may indicate a shorter childbearing period than term-born women. Guidelines for integration of preterm history in women's health care across the life course are needed to identify and manage their higher risk
Neighborhood Socioeconomic Status, Green Space, and Walkability and Risk for Falls Among Postmenopausal Women
Body size over the adult life course and the risk of colorectal cancer among postmenopausal women
Objective: To assess the associations among several anthropometric measures, as well as BMI trajectories and colorectal cancer (CRC) risk in older women. Design: Prospective cohort study. Setting: Forty clinical centres in the USA. Participants: Totally, 79 034 postmenopausal women in the Women’s Health Initiative Observational Study. Results: During an average of 15·8 years of follow-up, 1514 CRC cases were ascertained. Five BMI trajectories ove…
Resiliency Among Women’s Health Initiative Women Aged 80 and Older by Race, Ethnicity, and Neighborhood Socioeconomic Status
Multiple factors were associated with resilience among women aged ≥80 in the Women's Health Initiative. Despite some differing correlates of resilience by race, ethnicity, and NSES, there were many similarities. These results may aid in the design of resilience interventions for the growing, increasingly diverse population of older women
The Association of Neighborhood Changes with Health-Related Quality of Life in the Women’s Health Initiative
Longitudinal studies can help us understand the effects of long-term neighborhood changes, as these can capture individual self-appraisal of current and future circumstances. We analyzed the association between neighborhood changes and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) outcomes among older women from the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study. We used a subset ( n = 49,254) of the longitudinal WHI dataset of female participants, aged 50-79 at…

The intersectional role of social stress in fracture risk
BACKGROUND: The biological consequences of stress from the social environment pattern health outcomes. This study investigated whether social stress is prospectively associated with fracture incidence among racially and ethnically diverse, postmenopausal women. METHODS: Data from 160 709 postmenopausal women in the Women's Health Initiative was analysed using Cox proportional hazards regression models to examine prospective associations of social…
The Relation of Optimism to Relative Telomere Length in Older Men and Women
OBJECTIVE: Mounting evidence suggests that higher optimism is associated with reduced risk of age-related morbidities and premature mortality. However, possible biological mechanisms underlying these associations remain understudied. One hypothesized mechanism is a slower rate of cellular aging, which in turn delays age-related declines in health. METHODS: We used data from two large cohort studies to test the hypothesis that higher optimism is a…
Women’s Occupational Patterns and Later Life Physical Functioning
Objective: Timing and accumulation of work-related exposures may influence later life health. This study evaluates the association between women's work patterns and physical functioning. Method: Work history and physical functioning information was collected at baseline for U.S. women ages 50 to 79 years in the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study ( N = 75,507). We estimated life course workforce participation patterns using latent class…
Psychosocial stress and bone loss among postmenopausal women
BACKGROUND: Bone loss is a major public health concern with large proportions of older women experiencing osteoporotic fractures. Previous research has established a relationship between psychosocial stressors and fractures. However, few studies have investigated bone loss as an intermediary in this relationship. This study investigates whether social stress is associated with bone loss during a 6-year period in postmenopausal women. METHODS: Dat…
Maternal Age at Childbirth and Parity as Predictors of Longevity Among Women in the United States
Objectives. To examine associations of maternal age at childbirth and parity with survival to age 90 years (longevity). Methods. We performed a prospective study among a multiethnic cohort of postmenopausal US women in the Women’s Health Initiative recruited from 1993 to 1998 and followed through August 29, 2014. We adjusted associations with longevity for demographic, lifestyle, reproductive, and health-related characteristics. Results. Among 20…
