Sleep disturbances and chronic disease in older adults
Driving Life Expectancy of Persons Aged 70 Years and Older in the United States
Objectives. We estimated total life expectancy and driving life expectancy of US drivers aged 70 years and older. Methods. Life table methods were applied to 4699 elderly persons who were driving in 1993 and reassessed in a 1995 survey. Results. Drivers aged 70 to 74 years had a driving life expectancy of approximately 11 years. A higher risk of mortality among men as a cause of driving cessation offset a higher risk of driving cessation not rela…

Hospital and Nursing Home Use in the Last Three Months of Life
We describe decedents' days of care and changes in residence due to episodes of hospital and institutional care in the last 90 days of life. Data are from the National Institute on Aging's Survey of the Last Days of Life (SLDOL) with informants' responses for a sample of 1,227 decedents age 65 years and older from Fairfield County, Connecticut. Overall, three-fourths of the decedents made only one transition to or from a health care facility in t…
The burden and outcomes associated with dehydration among US elderly, 1991
OBJECTIVES. Dehydration has been underappreciated as a cause of hospitalization and increased hospital-associated mortality in older people. This study used national data to analyze the burden and outcomes following hospitalizations with dehydration in the elderly. METHODS. Data from 1991 Medicare files were used to calculate rates of hospitalization with dehydration, to examine demographic characteristics and concomitant diagnoses associated wit…
Phenotypic and genetic affinities among ethnic populations in Daghestan (Caucasus, Russia)
Daghestan contains many distinct populations characterized by different degrees of isolation, ethnic backgrounds and ecological conditions. This report introduces a large-scale family study conducted in seven Daghestan populations as well as in Moscow, using four categories of measures: (1) single gene polymorphisms, (2) anthropometric, (3) physiological, and (4) psychological quantitative traits. Such a study permits the analysis of both phenoty…
Predictors of nursing home admission in a biracial population
Racial differences in predictors of institutionalization were studied in a biracial North Carolina cohort (n = 4074). During 3 years of follow-up, 8.5% of Whites and 6.4% of African Americans were admitted to nursing homes. African Americans were one half as likely as Whites to be institutionalized after adjustment for other risk factors. Among Whites, impaired activities of daily living and cognition were the strongest predictors; among African …
The Risk of Nursing Home Admission in Three Communities
Beginning in 1982, the 3-year incidence of nursing home admission was determined for community-dwelling residents aged 65 and over in East Boston, Massachusetts (4%); New Haven, Connecticut (9%); and Iowa and Washington Counties, Iowa (12%). A common methodology was used to collect baseline risk factor and follow-up data on nursing home admissions among persons in each community as part of the National Institute on Aging's Established Populations…
