Neighborhood social cohesion and physical disorder in relation to social isolation in older adults
This study elucidates the role of neighborhood characteristics in shaping social isolation dynamics among older adults. Furthermore, the observed moderation effects of race/ethnicity suggest the need for culturally sensitive interventions tailored to address social isolation within specific neighborhood and racial contexts
Predictors of food insecurity among older adults before and during Covid-19 in the United States
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has strained the health and wellbeing of older adult populations through increased morbidity, mortality, and social exclusion. However, the impact of COVID-19 on the health of older adults through food security has received relatively little attention, despite the strong impact of diet quality on the health and longevity of older adults. Objective: The objective of this study was to identify sociodemographic and …
Racial and Ethnic Differences in the Relationship Between Neighborhood Environment and Physical Activity Among Middle-Aged and Older Adults
Objectives: To examine the associations between neighborhood environment-perceived neighborhood social cohesion and perceived neighborhood physical environment-and physical activity (PA) and whether these associations differ by race/ethnicity. Methods: We analyzed data from the Health and Retirement Study, a longitudinal study of US adults aged 50+ from 2006 to 2014 ( N = 17,974), using multivariate mixed-effects linear models. PA was repeatedly …
Food Access, Diet Quality, and Nutritional Status of Older Adults During Covid-19
Background: COVID-19 has imposed challenges for older adults to access food, particularly in minority, lower income, and rural communities. However, the impact of COVID-19 on food access, diet quality, and nutrition of diverse older adult populations has not been systematically assessed. Objective: To examine changes in food access, diet quality, and nutritional status among older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic and the potential differential…
Social Work and Aging in Place
Aging in place (AIP) has become a major focus of aging policies, programs, and scholarship in recent years. This article presents a scoping review of the social work literature on AIP. Based on predefined eligibility criteria, the authors identified 22 empirical articles published between 1980 and 2014. Many of these studies focused on settings that are particularly relevant to gerontological social work practice, including congregate housing alt…
Neighborhood Environment and Falls among Community-Dwelling Older Adults
Background : Falls present a major challenge to active aging, but the relationship between neighborhood factors and falls is poorly understood. This study examined the relationship between fall events and neighborhood factors, including neighborhood social cohesion (sense of belonging, trust, friendliness, and helpfulness) and physical environment (vandalism/graffiti, rubbish, vacant/deserted houses, and perceived safety walking home at night). M…
Assessing Diabetes and Factors Associated with Foregoing Medical Care among Persons with Diabetes
Objective : Identify individual- and place-based factors associated with diagnosed diabetes and forgone medical care among those diagnosed with diabetes. Background : Diabetes affects millions of individuals globally. In the U.S. alone the prevalence rate of diagnosed diabetes has more than doubled over the past 20 years (4.2% in 1994 to 10% in 2014). Methods : The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (2011-2015) was used to identify factor…
Operationalisation and validation of the Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths, and Injuries (STEADI) fall risk algorithm in a nationally representative sample
BACKGROUND: Preventing falls and fall-related injuries among older adults is a public health priority. The Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths, and Injuries (STEADI) tool was developed to promote fall risk screening and encourage coordination between clinical and community-based fall prevention resources; however, little is known about the tool's predictive validity or adaptability to survey data. METHODS: Data from five annual rounds (2011-2015) …
Access to Care and Diabetes Management Among Older American Indians With Type 2 Diabetes
Access-related barriers were not associated with worse diabetes management in multivariate analyses. The study concludes with implications for clinicians working with AI populations to enhance opportunities for diabetes management
Social Support from Church and Family Members and Depressive Symptoms Among Older African Americans
Healthy Aging in Sociocultural Context edited by Andrew E.Scharlach and KazumiHoshino. 2012
Racial/Ethnic Predictors of Falls Among Older Adults
African Americans are less likely to experience initial or recurrent falls than non-Hispanic Whites
Direct Social Support and Long-term Health Among Middle-Aged and Older Adults With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Interventions that specifically target improving specific aspects of diabetes social support may be more effective in improving long-term health than less targeted efforts
Eating Disorder Symptoms Among College Students
OBJECTIVE: To examine the prevalence, correlates, persistence, and treatment-seeking related to symptoms of eating disorders (EDs) in a random sample of college students. PARTICIPANTS: A random sample of students at a large university were recruited for an Internet survey in Fall 2005 and a follow-up survey in Fall 2007. METHODS: ED symptoms were measured using the SCOFF screen and adjusted for nonresponse using administrative data and a nonrespo…
Socioeconomic status and race/ethnicity independently predict health decline among older diabetics
The author found that race/ethnicity and some socioeconomic indicators were independent predictors of health decline among older adults with diabetes
Downward Social Mobility and Major Depressive Episodes Among Latino and Asian-American Immigrants to the United States
The authors analyzed the association between downward social mobility in subjective social status among 3,056 immigrants to the United States and the odds of a major depressive episode. Using data from the National Latino and Asian American Study (2002-2003), the authors examined downward mobility by comparing immigrants' subjective social status in their country of origin with their subjective social status in the United States. The dependent va…
Laws and policies to support the wellbeing of children
The international community has raised concerns regarding the extent to which countries have implemented laws and policies to support the rights and wellbeing of children. This study evaluates the progress of least-developed countries (LDCs) and middle-income countries (MICs) in developing such legislation. Surveys were sent to 131 UNICEF country offices. Items included efforts to promote family preservation and family ties, family-based care ove…
Diabetes-Related Support, Regimen Adherence, and Health Decline Among Older Adults
Illness-related support appears to be a mechanism through which social support matters in the diabetic population. Although this relationship did not extend to prevention of health status decline among diabetics, the relationship between support and illness management is promising
