Religion and the Quality of Life in the Last Year of Life
Overall, QOL in the last year of life is positively related to religious involvement, particularly its more subjective dimensions
Longitudinal Association Between Self-rated Health and Timed Gait Among Older Persons
Among older persons, SRH is associated with the development of lower extremity dysfunction but not with recovery from lower extremity dysfunction. This relationship may indicate an intermediate step in the pathway from SRH to mortality
The Persistence of Depressive Symptoms in Older Workers Who Experience Involuntary Job Loss
Our findings identify older workers with limited wealth as an important group for which the potential effect of involuntary job separation in the years preceding retirement is ongoing (enduring) adverse mental health
Religion and Cognitive Dysfunction in an Elderly Cohort
The short-term nature of the effect is partially explained by differential mortality. Persons with infrequent religious service attendance and with high levels of cognitive dysfunction in 1982 were more likely to die in the period from 1985 to 1988
Longitudinal Benefit of Positive Self-Perceptions of Aging on Functional Health
We examined whether those with more positive self-perceptions of aging (older individuals' beliefs about their own aging) report better functional health over an 18-year period than do those with more negative self-perceptions of aging. We found that those with more positive self-perceptions of aging in 1975 reported better functional health from 1977 to 1995, when we controlled for baseline measures of functional health, self-rated health, age, …
The Impact of Involuntary Job Loss on Subsequent Alcohol Consumption by Older Workers
The findings provide evidence of a significant relationship between job loss and subsequent alcohol use among baseline nondrinkers. However, the magnitude of the changes in drinking was quite modest
Patterns of Religious Practice and Belief in the Last Year of Life
Community studies of respondents in their last year of life are rare. In this sample, religious involvement appears to continue throughout the last months of life
Health Effects of Involuntary Job Loss Among Older Workers
The findings provide evidence of a causal relationship between job loss and morbidity among older workers. This relationship is reflected in both poorer physical functioning and mental health for workers who experience involuntary job loss. In addition to the economic consequences of worker displacement, there may be important health consequences of job loss, especially among older workers
Gender differences in the effects of bereavement-related psychological distress in health outcomes
Background. This study examined whether traumatic grief, depressive and anxiety symptoms formed three distinct factors for widows and widowers. In addition, we examined whether high symptom levels of traumatic grief, depression and anxiety predicted different mental and physical health outcomes for widows and widowers. Method. Ninety-two future widows and 58 future widowers were interviewed at the time of their spouse's hospital admission and the…
Can Parental Longevity and Self-Rated Life Expectancy Predict Mortality among Older Persons? Results from an Australian Cohort
This study examined the effects of parental longevity and self-rated life expectancy on mortality, building upon the established model of self-rated health predicting mortality. A community sample of Australians aged 70 and over was surveyed in 1992 and 1995. The associations of interest were examined separately by sex using weighted multiple logistic regression. Parental ages at death were not associated with mortality for either men or women. I…
Religion among Disabled and Nondisabled Persons II
Does religious involvement influence changes in physical health? We perform a longitudinal analysis of the effect of religious participation on functioning over a 12-year follow-up period, in a large, prospective, representative sample of elderly persons from New Haven, Connecticut, a religiously diverse community. To examine the possibility that disability or changes in disability may be affecting religious involvement, we perform a second longi…
Religion among Disabled and Nondisabled Persons I
What is the relationship between religious involvement and functional disability among elderly people? Is being disabled different for those who frequently attend religious services? Does religious involvement have an effect on subsequent change in disability? Deriving our hypotheses from traditional theories in the sociology of religion, these questions are explored in these two related articles. Both employ data from the New Haven site of the E…
The Influence of Spouse Cognitive Impairment on Respondents' Depressive Symptoms
An earlier report documented that, in a community-dwelling sample of 317 older married couples, cognitive impairment in a wife was associated with depressive symptoms in her husband (Moritz, Kasl, and Berkman, 1989). No similar effects were found for wives. Here we examine the extent to which marital closeness moderates the impact of a spouse's cognitive impairment, the stability of influences over 3 years, and gender differences in the associati…

Self-Rated Health and Physical Disability in Elderly Survivors of a Major Medical Event
This article describes change and stability in self-rated health after a major medical event. Using a prospective design, it examines the ability of premorbid and post-illness health perceptions to predict physical disability independently of medical, psychosocial, and behavioral variables. Participants (N=254) were a subsample of the New Haven cohort of the Established Populations for Epidemiologic Studies of the Elderly (EPESE) project who had …
Gender, Marital Closeness, and Depressive Symptoms in Elderly Couples
Data from the Established Populations for the Epidemiologic Study of the Elderly (EPESE) in New Haven include independent interviews with husbands and wives in 317 community-dwelling older couples. Drawing on these data, we (a) describe the prevalence of three aspects of marital closeness: having a confidant, perceived emotional support, and reciprocity between spouses' reports of marital closeness; (b) evaluate their associations with depressive…
Self-Ratings of Health
Self-ratings of health by individuals responding to surveys have shown themselves to be potent predictors of mortality in a growing number of studies; they appear to contribute significant additional independent information to health status indicators gathered through self-reported health histories or medical examinations. A key question raised by these studies is: What are the mediating processes involved in the association? Specifically, do poo…

The Effects of Negative Life Events on Alcohol Consumption among older Men and Women
We examined the effect of selected negative life events on changes in alcohol consumption in a prospective cohort study of community-dwelling persons 65 years of age and older. Using the Tension Reduction Hypothesis (TRH) as a framework, we tested the hypothesis that exposure to negative life events leads to increased alcohol consumption at follow-up (1985) after controlling for baseline alcohol consumption (1982) and covariates found to be assoc…
Conscious and unconscious coping with loss
Sixty-seven persons were identified 1 to 2 months after the death or life-threatening illness of their spouse and followed for 25 months. Intake measures included a) a revised Ways of Coping Scale, a structured assessment of ego defenses, sociodemographic information, and other baseline variables. Fifty-six completed follow-up. Outcome measures included deaths, hospitalization, self-rated health, depressive symptoms, symptoms of anxiety, and sepa…
Risk due to inactivity in physically capable older adults
OBJECTIVES. This study examined the association between recreational physical activity among physically capable older adults and functional status, incidence of selected chronic conditions, and mortality over 3 and 6 years. METHODS. Data are from three sites of the Established Populations for Epidemiologic Studies of the Elderly. RESULTS. A high level of recreational physical activity reduced the likelihood of mortality over both 3 and 6 years. M…
Health Perceptions and Survival
Self-evaluations of health status have been shown to predict mortality, above and beyond the contribution to prediction made by indices based on the presence of health problems, physical disability, and biological or life-style risk factors. Several possible reasons for this association are discussed: (a) methodological shortcomings of previous studies render the association spurious; (b) other psychosocial influences on mortality are involved an…
Morbidity and disability in older persons in the years prior to death
BACKGROUND: A large proportion of the disease and disability which affects older persons occurs in the years just prior to death. Little prospective evidence is available which quantifies the burden of morbidity and disability during these years. METHODS: In three community-based cohorts of persons age 65 and older, chronic conditions and disability were evaluated for the three years prior to death in 531 persons who had three annual assessments …
Psychological consequences of infestation of the dwelling unit
Interview data from a three-wave panel study of the impact of the residential environment upon the psychological well-being of 337 minority women were used to examine the effects of household infestation upon self-reported depression, phobic anxiety, somatization, hostility, and anomia. The findings of cross-sectional and change analyses over the three waves of data point to a stable relationship between rat infestation and a single dimension of …

The impact of the accident at the Three Mile Island on the behavior and well-being of nuclear workers; Part I
In order to assess the impact of the accident at the Three Mile Island (TMI), telephone interviews were conducted six months later with 324 nuclear workers assigned to TMI and 298 workers assigned to a comparison plant at Peach Bottom (PB). Examination of PB-TMI differences, stratified by supervisory status, revealed the following: Part I: TMI workers reported greater exposure to radiation at the time of the accident and felt that their health ha…

The impact of the accident at the Three Mile Island on the behavior and well-being of nuclear workers
TMI workers experienced much greater job tension and lower occupational self-esteem (supervisors only). At the time of the accident, TMI workers reported experiencing more periods of anger, extreme worry and extreme upset, and more psychophysiological symptoms. Six months after the accident, some persistence of these feelings and symptoms was evident. Demoralization was greater primarily among TMI non-supervisory workers. The impact of the accide…
