Estimating depression risk differences between sexual minority and heterosexual young adults using targeted maximum likelihood estimation and Super Learner
Objective Targeted Maximum Likelihood Estimation (TMLE) offers double-robust protection against model misspecification by combining exposure and outcome modeling, while Super Learner provides flexible functional form specification through ensemble machine learning. Despite theoretical advantages, both methods remain underutilized in public health due to perceived complexity and limited accessible guidance. This paper provides a non-technical intr…
Projected Cognitive and Brain Aging Benefits of Eliminating Cardiometabolic Risks in Non-Hispanic White and Black Males – Habs-HD
Chronic Disease and Aging-Related Risk Factors in Multiracial Subgroups
Prevalence of Subjective Cognitive Decline Among Older Multiracial Adults, 2019–2023
Background: The Multiracial population is the fastest-growing racial group in the United States but remains underrepresented in cognitive aging research. No national estimates exist for subjective cognitive decline (SCD)-a self-reported indicator of worsening memory associated with dementia risk-among older Multiracial adults. Methods: We used 2019-2023 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data from states that administered the optional cog…
Association between spatial social polarisation and high blood pressure in older adults
BACKGROUND: Using data from the Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS) and the REasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) study, we investigate the association between socioeconomic polarisation and blood pressure outcomes in black and white adults. We also validate previous findings that joint racial/ethnic and income measures of spatial social polarisation (SSP) outperform single domain measures. METHODS: We conducted a cross-…
Effects of residential socioeconomic polarization on high blood pressure among nursing home residents
Associations of Modifiable Behavioral Risk Factor Combinations at 65 to 74 Years Old With Cognitive Health Span for 20 Years
OBJECTIVE: Behavioral risk factors for dementia tend to co-occur and interrelate, especially poor diet, physical inactivity, sleep disturbances, and depression. Having multiple of these modifiable behavioral risk factors (MBRFs) may predict a particularly shortened cognitive health span and therefore may signal high-risk status/high intervention need. METHODS: These secondary analyses of data from the Cardiovascular Health Study included 3149 par…
Association Between Income Inequality and County-Level Covid-19 Cases and Deaths in the US
Importance: Socioeconomically marginalized communities have been disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Income inequality may be a risk factor for SARS-CoV-2 infection and death from COVID-19. Objective: To evaluate the association between county-level income inequality and COVID-19 cases and deaths from March 2020 through February 2021 in bimonthly time epochs. Design, Setting, and Participants: This ecological cohort study used l…
Aging-related changes in the association between negative affect and response time inconsistency in older adulthood
Negative affect (NA) and positive affect (PA) are established modifiable psychosocial correlates of cognitive health and have demonstrated capacity for meaningful within-person fluctuations based on person–environment interactions, age, and measurement approach. Previous research has shown NA is associated with increased response time inconsistency (RTI), an early performance-based indicator of cognitive health and aging. It is unclear, however, …
Association of High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol With Cognitive Function
Objective: We aimed to examine whether variability in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) over time was associated with cognitive function. Method: We conducted a post hoc analysis of the PROspective Study of Pravastatin in the Elderly at Risk (PROSPER) trial. Our sample included 4,428 participants with at least two repeated HDL-c measures between Months 3 and 24 postbaseline and with cognitive assessments at Month 30. HDL-c variability …
Association of retirement age with mortality
BACKGROUND: Retirement is an important transitional process in later life. Despite a large body of research examining the impacts of health on retirement, questions still remain regarding the association of retirement age with survival. We aimed to examine the association between retirement age and mortality among healthy and unhealthy retirees and to investigate whether sociodemographic factors modified this association. METHODS: On the basis of…
Effectiveness of a Scaled-Up Arthritis Self-Management Program in Oregon
Objectives. To evaluate the effectiveness of Walk With Ease (WWE), an evidence-based arthritis self-management program that was scaled up in Oregon in 2012 to 2014. Methods. Guided by the RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance) framework, we collected participant surveys and attendance records and conducted observations. Preprogram and postprogram, participants self-reported pain and fatigue (scale: 0–10 points; high …
Responses to Financial Loss During the Great Recession
The "Great Recession" shocked the primary institutions that help individuals and families meet their needs and plan for the future. This study examines middle-aged adults' experiences of financial loss and considers how socioeconomic and interpersonal resources facilitate or hinder maintaining a sense of control in the face of economic uncertainty. Method: Using the 2006 and 2010 waves of the Health and Retirement Study, change in income and weal…
