Network Composition and Health Behaviors Among Older Samoan Women
Kin networks positively affect mostly chronic disease-related health behaviors, whereas nonkin networks positively affect mostly lifestyle-related health behaviors
An International Approach to Community Health Care for Older Adults
Worldwide population ageing, concomitant increases in disability rates, and changes in family health care systems require an examination of current service delivery to optimize use of societal resources in the future. This article examines a community health care approach suggested by research conducted by the World Health Organization Kobe Centre for Health Development (WKC). The WKC approach, which uses a cross-national perspective, envisions a…
A Comparative Analysis of Chronic Disease Prevalence among Older Koreans and Non-Hispanic Whites
This article presents a comparative analysis of chronic disease prevalence among older Koreans and non-Hispanic whites residing in Los Angeles County. The authors conducted a multivariate analysis that explores the impact of socioeconomic status, other sociodemographic variables, and social isolation on disease prevalence. The results reveal that while older Koreans have a higher prevalence of chronic kidney disease and diabetes, older non-Hispan…
Health Practices of Korean Elderly People
The official health promotion goals for the year 2000 in the United States include an emphasis on behavioral and contextual changes to increase the healthy lifespan of Americans. The goals also encompass reducing disparities in health status among different groups, and many of the specific goals address issues pertinent to older people. Limited data on the health status and health behaviors of older Asians and Pacific Islanders contributed to the…
Factors Affecting Self‐ratings of Oral Health
Self-rated oral health may be, for older adults, a better measure of "health" than of "morbidity
The Relationship Between Dental Utilization and Preventive Participation Among a Well‐elderly Sample
Previous studies have shown that dental utilization by older people is lower than for the general population. This study hypothesizes that an elder's tendency toward participating in preventive health activities may be an important factor in explaining the likelihood of accessing the dentist. Subjects included 1,911 older individuals who enrolled in the UCLA Medicare Screening and Health Promotion Trial. All were interviewed about their utilizati…
Comparison of Oral Health Ratings by Dentists and Dentate Elders
Previous studies suggest a discrepancy between the way dentists and patients measure oral health. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between a dentist's rating of an older dentate person's oral health and the patient self-rating using a single-item indicator, and to compare the clinical (i.e., number of teeth, caries, etc.) and subjective (problems with function, pain, etc.) factors that influence the rating. The study sa…
Cognitive impairment and hospital use
BACKGROUND. An increasing number of older people are at higher risk of developing Alzheimer's Disease or another dementias. The resultant cognitive impairment has been well identified as one of the risk factors for nursing home placement but it has not been well studied as a risk for hospitalization. METHODS. To study the association between cognitive impairment and hospital use, this study examined data from a randomly selected cohort of communi…
Health practices of the elderly poor
The purpose of the present study was to describe the health practices of the elderly poor and to examine the association between specific health practices and subsequent hospital use. Data came from a sample of 931 Medicaid elderly living in California. Smoking, limited social networks, and lack of regular exercise significantly increased the odds of subsequent hospital utilization. Implications of these findings, which could benefit health promo…
Health Promotion for the Rural Elderly
There has been increased interest in developing health promotion programs for the rural elderly as a means to foster successful aging. The present study describes one such program and identifies rural and urban differences in health promotion activities. Data corne from the California Preventive Health Cane for the Aging Program (PHCAP) which is one of the oldest and largest such programs in the United States. A sample of over 5,000 PHCAP clients…
