Changes in social connection, physical activity, and positive psychological attributes associated with grief-related symptoms and depression among bereaved older women during Covid-19
Older women are disproportionately affected by spousal bereavement, yet little is known about how social, lifestyle, and positive psychological factors correlate with grief-related symptoms and depression following partner loss. We examined these associations among 1946 older women (mean age =84.6 years) in the Women's Health Initiative who experienced spousal or partner loss during COVID-19. Changes in social connection, physical activity, and p…
Loneliness, social isolation, and cardiovascular disease among nonveteran and Veteran women
We examined the prospective associations of social isolation and loneliness with incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) among aging nonveteran and veteran women, and effect modification by veteran status. Participants with no history of myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, coronary heart disease (CHD), or coronary heart failure from the Women’s Health Initiative Extension Study II self-reported social isolation, loneliness, health behaviors, health…
Loneliness, Circulating Endocannabinoid Concentrations, and Grief Trajectories in Bereaved Older Adults
Background: Loneliness is one of the most distressing grief symptoms and is associated with adverse mental health in bereaved older adults. The endocannabinoid signaling (ECS) system is stress-responsive and circulating endocannabinoid (eCB) concentrations are elevated following bereavement. This study examined the association between loneliness and circulating eCB concentrations in grieving older adults and explored the role of eCBs on the assoc…
Grief and the Covid-19 Pandemic in Older Adults
Relations of Depressive Symptoms and Antidepressant Use to Body Mass Index and Selected Biomarkers for Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease
Objectives. We investigated whether depressive symptoms and antidepressant use are associated with biomarkers for glucose dysregulation and inflammation, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference. Methods. Postmenopausal women were recruited into the Women’s Health Initiative from 1993 to 1998, and data were collected at regular intervals through 2005. We used multiple linear regression models to examine whether depressive symptoms and antid…
