Peripheral bone structure, geometry, and strength and muscle density as derived from peripheral quantitative computed tomography and mortality among rural south Indian older adults
Multiple studies have observed a relationship of bone mineral density (BMD) measured by Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and mortality. However, areal BMD (aBMD) measured by DXA is an integrated measure of trabecular and cortical bone and does not measure the geometry of bone. Peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography (pQCT) provides greater insights on bone structure, geometry and strength. To examine whether higher bone phenotypes and m…
The Associations between Upper and Lower Body Muscle Strength and Diabetes among Midlife Women
We hypothesized that a combined index of upper and lower body muscle strength would be more strongly associated with diabetes than either measure alone. Women recruited into the Integrated Women's Health Program had their handgrip strength (HGS) measured using a dynamometer and underwent a timed 5-repetition chair stand (RCS) test. HGS < 18 kg and RCS performance ≥ 12 s assessed upper and lower body strength, respectively, both individually and c…
Relationship Between Personality Measures and Perceived Mental Fatigability
Lower conscientiousness, optimism, and higher goal reengagement were linked with more severe perceived mental fatigability in older men. Personality traits may potentially contribute to early risk assessment for fatigability in later life. Future work should be longitudinal in nature and include personality assessments to confirm the temporality of the relationships observed
Understanding Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Physical Performance in Midlife Women: Findings From SWAN (Study of Women’s Health Across the Nation)
Addressing issues of poverty, racial inequality, pain, and obesity could reduce some racial/ethnic disparity in functional limitations as women age
Actigraphy- and Polysomnography-Measured Sleep Disturbances, Inflammation, and Mortality Among Older Men
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate whether objectively measured sleep characteristics are associated with mortality risk independent of inflammatory burden and comorbidity. METHODS: The Osteoporotic Fractures in Men Sleep Study (conducted in 2003-2005) included community-dwelling older men (n = 2531; average [standard deviation {SD}] age = 76.3 (5.5) years). Sleep measures from in-home polysomnography and wrist actigraphy and assessments of serum inflammato…

Testing the Independence of Multiple Personality Factors in Relation to Health Among Community-Dwelling Older Men
Correlations among multiple aspects of personality may mask unique associations of specific personality aspects with successful aging
Sleep Architecture and Mental Health Among Community-Dwelling Older Men
Depressed mood in older adults may be associated with accelerated age-related changes in sleep architecture. Longitudinal community-based studies using diagnostic measures are needed to further clarify relationships among common mental disorders, aging, and sleep
Predictors of Adherence in the Women's Health Initiative Calcium and Vitamin D Trial
The authors analyzed data from the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) Calcium and Vitamin D Supplementation Trial (CaD) to learn more about factors affecting adherence to clinical trial study pills (both active and placebo). Most participants (36,282 postmenopausal women aged 50-79 years) enrolled in CaD 1 year after joining either a hormone trial or the dietary modification trial of WHI. The WHI researchers measured adherence to study pills by weig…
Social Networks and Marital Status Predict Mortality in Older Women: Prospective Evidence From the Study of Osteoporotic Fractures (SOF)
OBJECTIVE: To assess the relationship between social network size and prospective mortality risk among a large sample of older, Caucasian women. METHOD: The study included 7524 Caucasian community-dwelling women, age 65 or older (mean age = 74.1), who participated from four U.S. communities. Study participants completed a protocol that included anthropomorphic and health assessments at baseline and the Lubben Social Network Scale at year 2. We fo…
Sex- and race-related differences in cross-sectional geometry and bone density of the femoral mid-shaft in older adults
These results indicate that bone geometry and density of the femoral diaphysis differs primarily by sex, rather than race, in older well-functioning adults. In addition, site-specific muscle area appears to have a potential contributory role to bone geometry parameters, especially in women

Water chlorination and lipo- and apolipoproteins: The relationship in elderly white women of western Pennsylvania
The relationship between consumption of chlorinated drinking water in the home water supply and serum lipids was examined in 2070 elderly White women. Private springs, cisterns, and wells were considered nonchlorinated and public water sources, chlorinated. Mean serum lipids and lipoproteins were similar in the chlorinated and nonchlorinated groups. Stratification by years of exposure revealed little difference in lipid concentrations. Lifestyle …
The epidemiology of low back pain in an adolescent population
We assessed the prevalence of low back pain (LBP) in a cohort of 1242 adolescents (aged 11 through 17) currently participating in a 4-year prospective study of medically treated injuries. Overall, 30.4% of the adolescents reported LBP. The impact of LBP in adolescents was considerable, with one third resulting in restricted activity and 7.3% seeking medical attention. Life-table analysis demonstrated that by age 15, the prevalence of LBP increase…
