Predictors of healthy aging in men with high life expectancies
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors that consistently predict staying healthy in contrast to developing clinical illness and/or physical and mental impairments. METHODS: More than 8000 men of Japanese ancestry were followed for 28 years with repeat examinations and surveillance for deaths and incident clinical illness. Physical and cognitive functions were measured in 1993. Measures of healthy aging included survivin…
Religion and mortality among the community-dwelling elderly
OBJECTIVES: This study analyzed the prospective association between attending religious services and all-cause mortality to determine whether the association is explainable by 6 confounding factors: demographics, health status, physical functioning, health habits, social functioning and support, and psychological state. METHODS: The association between self-reported religious attendance and subsequent mortality over 5 years for 1931 older residen…
Imbalance in an Older Population
Difficulties with balance are associated with limitations in activities of daily living. There is little information, however, about the epidemiology of imbalance. Imbalance, defined as the inability to maintain a full-tandem stand for 10 seconds, was assessed as part of an interview with 2,018 residents of Marin County, California, age 55 and older. The likelihood of imbalance was greater in women, those aged 85 and older, and those with less th…
Does cigarette smoking have an independent effect on coronary heart disease incidence in the elderly
In order to evaluate the effects of cigarette smoking on coronary heart disease (CHD) in elderly persons in the Honolulu Heart Program, 1,394 men between ages 65 and 74 were followed during an average 12-year period for new cases of nonfatal myocardial infarction and fatal CHD. Incidence rates increased progressively in individuals classified at baseline as never, former, and current smokers, respectively. The absolute excess risk associated with…
Physical activity and coronary heart disease in middle-aged and elderly men
The relationship of physical activity to the development of definite coronary heart disease was examined separately in middle-aged (45-64 years) and elderly men (65-69 years) participating in the Honolulu Heart Program. After 12 years of follow-up, results indicate that increased levels of physical activity reported at study entry were inversely related to the risk of definite coronary heart disease in both age groups. In particular, among those …
