Bridging the Hearing Divide
Hearing loss affects approximately two thirds of adults in the United States aged 70 years or older and frequently remains untreated despite its well-documented harms, including accelerated cognitive decline, increased caregiver burden, and higher health care expenditures. We examine the major barriers to accessing high-quality hearing care, with particular attention to the complex and fragmented landscape of insurance coverage across Medicare, M…
Associations Between Attachment and Depressive Symptoms Among Older Adults Living With Early-Stage Cognitive Impairment and Their Adult Children
Psychosocial interventions that incorporate attachment theory as a framework may benefit parent-child dyads coping with dementia
A Controlled Pilot Study of the Wish Outcome Obstacle Plan Strategy for Spouses of Persons With Early-Stage Dementia
WOOP is a promising, brief intervention to improve dementia CPs' well-being that may also positively affect their partners with dementia
Mobility and Aging
Optimal mobility, defined as relative ease and freedom of movement in all of its forms, is central to healthy aging. Mobility is a significant consideration for research, practice, and policy in aging and public health. We examined the public health burdens of mobility disability, with a particular focus on leading public health interventions to enhance walking and driving, and the challenges and opportunities for public health action. We propose…
Assessing Senior Patients' Ability to Drive Safely
Case “How are you, Mr. Wagner?” asked Dr. Shore as he entered the exam room and greeted the elderly patient he had been seeing for over 15 years. “I’m doing fine, Dr. Shore. My wife’s arthritis has been flaring up occasionally, so I help her and we get by. She takes her mind off the pain by staying involved with our church functions, the parties at the senior center, and babysitting our grandchildren. We have more of a social life now than we did…
Consequences of Driving Cessation
The potential consequences of driving limitations or cessation should be taken into account when advising older drivers and developing alternative transportation strategies to help maintain their mobility
Population based study of social and productive activities as predictors of survival among elderly Americans
Objectives: To examine any association between social, productive, and physical activity and 13 year survival in older people. Design: Prospective cohort study with annual mortality follow up. Activity and other measures were assessed by structured interviews at baseline in the participants9 homes Proportional hazards models were used to model survival from time of initial interview. Setting: City of New Haven, Connecticut, United States. Partici…
Driving Cessation and Increased Depressive Symptoms
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to determine the association between driving cessation and depressive symptoms among older drivers. Previous efforts in this area have focused on the factors associated with cessation, not the consequences of having stopped. DESIGN: Cohort study SETTING: Urban community PARTICIPANTS: A driving survey was administered in 1989 to surviving noninstitutionalized members of the New Haven Established Population…
Characteristics of older pedestrians who have difficulty crossing the street
OBJECTIVES: This study examined the sociodemographic and health characteristics and problems of older pedestrians. METHODS: Interviews and assessments were conducted with 1249 enrollees aged 72 or older from the New Haven, Conn, community of the Established Populations for Epidemiologic Studies of the Elderly who agreed to participate in a seventh follow-up. RESULTS: Approximately 11% of the New Haven residents reported difficulty crossing the st…
Predictors of mortality and institutionalization after hip fracture
OBJECTIVES. Hip fractures can have devastating effects on the lives of older individuals. We determined the frequency of occurrence of hip fracture and the baseline factors predicting death and institutionalization at 6 months after hip fracture. METHODS. A representative cohort of 2812 individuals aged 65 years and older was followed prospectively for 6 years. Hip fractures were identified, and the occurrence of death and institutionalization wi…
