Sleep characteristics across the lifespan in 1.1 million people from the Netherlands, United Kingdom and United States
Trends in the use of care among people aged 65–85 with cognitive impairment in the Netherlands
Observation of long-term trends within countries is needed to increase insight into how policy initiatives are reflected in the use of care over time in addition to individual determinants of care use. In the past decades, Dutch care policies have favoured homecare and reduced the availability of institutional care which extended the care responsibilities of formal and informal care-givers at home. This study investigates the changes in the use o…
A Healthy Lifestyle in Old Age and Prospective Change in Four Domains of Functioning
Objective: The aim of this article is to study the associations between healthy lifestyle in old age and decline in physical, psychological, cognitive, and social functioning. Method: A population-based sample of 3,107 Dutch men and women aged 55 and 85 years (1992/1993; Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam) was used with five 3-yeary follow-up examinations. Lifestyle score, based on smoking status, alcohol consumption, physical activity, and body …
Increases in Neuroticism May Be an Early Indicator of Dementia
Replication of our previous work in 2 additional datasets provides compelling evidence that increases in neuroticism may be early indication of dementia, which can facilitate development of screening assessments
Spousal Loss and Change in Cognitive Functioning
Considering that only one cognitive domain was affected and effects were temporary, cognitive functioning seems rather robust to the experience of spousal loss. Despite men having often been reported to be in a disadvantaged position in other health domains, our analyses indicate no such pattern for cognitive functioning
Year Trends in Life Expectancy in Good and Poor Physical and Cognitive Health at Age 65 Years in the Netherlands, 1993–2016
Objectives. To examine 23-year trends in both physically and cognitively healthy life expectancy from age 65 years in the Netherlands. Methods. We used 8 waves between 1993 and 2016 from the nationally representative Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam (12 948 observations). We calculated physically and cognitively healthy life expectancies by using the Sullivan life table method and tested prevalence trends over time by using generalized estimati…
Time Trend in Persistent Cognitive Decline
An increase in PCD incidence over time was found. Although well-known risk factors were associated with incidence per se, they did not explain the increase in incidence of PCD
Cohort Differences in Cognitive Aging in the Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam
The later born cohort showed better initial performance in certain cognitive abilities, but no better preservation of cognitive abilities overtime compared with the earlier born cohort. These findings carry implications for healthy cognitive aging
The Association Between Depressive Disorder and Cardiac Autonomic Control in Adults 60 Years and Older
BACKGROUND: Altered cardiac autonomic control has often been reported in depressed persons and might play an important role in the increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). A negative association between cardiac autonomic control and depression might become specifically clinically relevant in persons 60 years or older as CVD risk increases with age. METHODS: This study included data of 321 persons with a depressive disorder and 115 control…
Comorbidity Patterns of Anxiety and Depressive Disorders in a Large Cohort Study
BACKGROUND: Comorbidity of depressive and anxiety disorders is common and has been shown to be a consistent predictor of chronicity. Comorbidity patterns among specific depressive and anxiety disorders have not been extensively reported. This study examines comorbidity patterns and temporal sequencing of separate depressive and anxiety disorders using data from a large psychiatric cohort. METHOD: Baseline data (N = 1,783) of the Netherlands Study…
Accumulated and Differential Effects of Life Events on Cognitive Decline in Older Persons
Highly stressful events seem to be associated with a higher rate of cognitive decline, whereas mild chronic stressors may have an arousing function that stimulates cognitive performance
The Role of Coping Resources on Change in Well-Being During Persistent Health Decline
This study suggests that coping resources are of importance in explaining associations between persistent health decline and decreasing well-being. Stable or improving mastery even proves to protect older persons with PDF from decreasing well-being.Therefore, it may be of importance to develop interventions for older persons aimed at maintaining or improving psychological coping resources when health declines
The Needs of Older Women
Psychological Distress in Victims of Elder Mistreatment
The objective of the study was to examine psychological distress in victims of elder mistreatment and to determine whether social support, coping style, mastery, and perceived self-efficacy favorably influence the psychological health of these victims. The study sample consisted of 77 subjects who reported recent chronic verbal aggression, physical aggression, or financial mistreatment, and a control group of 147 subjects who had not been mistrea…
Translation Recognition and Translation Production
This study explored the "translation-recognition" task. Each trial in this task presents a word pair, one word in L1, the second in L2. The participant has to decide whether or not the words within a pair are translations of one another. Performance is compared with that in translation production, where on each trial the participant has to come up with the translation of the presented word. The results of two experiments, one for 40 adult Dutch l…
