Disclosure of HIV Positive Status and Network Characteristics Among a Cohort of People Living with HIV in Western Kenya
Disclosure of HIV serostatus is critical in managing the health and well-being of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), yet the decision to disclose is shaped by complex interpersonal and contextual factors. The purpose of this study was to examine patterns of HIV status disclosure and social support, and to characterize disclosure networks among a cohort of PLWHA in Kenya. We conducted a cross-sectional egocentric social network analysis of 174 P…
Early Book Access and Cognitive Aging
Purpose of the ResearchUsing longitudinal data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), we examined whether childhood book environment is associated with higher cognitive functioning and better cognitive maintenance later in life, especially among individuals with lower education.Major FindingsAmong 86,619 adults aged 60+ (226,515 person-wave observations from Waves 4-8, with retrospective childhood circumstances from W…
Reading roots of resilience
Objectives While educational achievement is well-established as a key contributor to cognitive reserve and cognitive functioning in later life, the role of early living environments before completing formal education remains underexplored, particularly factors beyond childhood socioeconomic status. This study examines whether childhood reading environments, potentially reflecting a family’s scholarly culture, contribute to cognitive health in old…
Reading between the ties
Loneliness negatively impacts on the well-being of older adults, especially those with small social networks. While expanding networks and participating in social activities are commonly associated with lower loneliness, these strategies are not always feasible for everyone. Solitary activities, such as reading, may offer an alternative by relating to the subjective experience of loneliness and promoting satisfaction with existing networks. Using…
Distance in Disconnection
The relationship between core network member losses and loneliness can significantly differ based on the nature of the lost connection and its geographic distance. Active rebalancing of one's core network following losses and proactive network expansion can serve as pivotal strategies to prevent loneliness for the aging population
Isolation or Replenishment? The Case of Partner Network Exclusivity and Partner Loss in Later Life
This study provides new evidence that network replenishment following relationship disruptions is plausible even for those from precarious network settings. Nevertheless, widowhood produces patterns of vulnerability for a subset of older adults in partner-exclusive core networks
There at any distance? Geographic proximity and the presence of adult children in older Europeans’ core discussion networks
Compensatory Connections? Living Alone, Loneliness, and the Buffering Role of Social Connection Among Older American and European Adults
Extra-household connections are partial compensators, but do not seem to fully replace the ready companionship afforded by residential copresence in later life. Future research is needed to understand whether the efficacy of compensatory connections differs by gender, race/ethnicity, and across more diverse global regions
