Depressive Symptoms in Later Life in China
Objective: This article intends to reveal the long-term effects of physical maltreatment in childhood on depressive symptoms in later life in China. Methods: Data were drawn from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). 8676 respondents aged 45 and older were included in the study. In this study, we use ordinary least squares (OLS) regression models to estimate the long-term impact on children of physical punishment from their…
The intersection of race and financial strain
Objectives: Considerable attention has been directed at increased social isolation and loneliness during the COVID-19 pandemic and their impact on later-life psychological well-being. There is a dearth of research on the effect of financial strain and associated psychosocial mechanisms on loneliness among women across racial groups. It is unclear how racial status and financial strain intersect to impact later-life loneliness amid immense uncerta…
Intersecting Early-Life Selection Mechanisms
This study underscores the role of a sociohistorical context in shaping the effects of education on health at the intersection of race and cohort
Intersectional Effects of Gender, Education, and Geographic Region on Functional Health Disparities Among Older Adults in India
Objective: Research on social determinants of health in India has focused largely on the independent influence of education, gender, and region. Using an intersectionality framework in this study, we examine the combined effects of these three key social locators on the critical, yet underexamined outcome of later life functional health. Method: We use data from Wave 1 (2007-2010) of the Study of Global Ageing and Adult Health (SAGE) ( N = 7,150)…
Loving Others
Our findings underscore the powerful influence of both receiving and giving loving emotions for the maintenance of later-life psychological well-being
Intercohort Variations in the Education–Health Gradient
This study underscores the role that sociohistorical changes in early-life selection mechanisms play in modifying patterns of education-based inequalities in health across cohorts
Promoting Resilience Among College Student Veterans Through an Acceptance-and-Commitment-Therapy App
Racial differences in future care planning in late life
Objectives: Although many older adults fear frailty and loss of independence in late life, relatively few make plans for their future care. Such planning is particularly limited among racial minorities. Given the benefits of future care planning (FCP), it is important to understand factors that facilitate or hamper FCP in late life. Our study explored racial, demographic, and dispositional influences on thinking about and engagement in FCP among …
Gendered “Long Arm” of Parental Education? Life Course Influences on Later Life Functional Limitations in India
Objective: We adopt a novel approach to mediation analysis to account for interrelated life course social processes that constitute later life health disparities. We examine gender-specific direct effect of parental education on functional limitations in later life. Method: Based on the first wave (2007-2010; n = 7,150) of the Study on Global Ageing and Adult Health (SAGE), we estimate both (natural) direct and indirect effects of parental educat…
Early Origins of Later Life Psychological Well-Being? A Novel Application of Causal Mediation Analysis to Life Course Research
Contrary to prior literature, we found no positive direct influence of parental education on later life psychological well-being, but established its influence through socioeconomic positioning over the life course
Ambulatory disability among immigrants from China, India, and Mexico
Prior studies on immigrant advantage in health have mostly focused on Hispanics with limited attention to immigrants from Asian countries. Significant increase of immigrants from China and India in recent decades highlights the need to understand prevalence and risk of adverse health outcomes among these immigrants groups. Such evidence is essential for the formulation of more inclusive public health policies. This study explores ‘immigrant advan…
Age Stratification
Altruism, Helping, and Volunteering
Our findings underscore the value of altruistic attitudes as important additional predictors, along with prosocial behaviors in fostering life satisfaction and positive affect in old age
