Impact of Covid-19 ‘Stay Home, Stay Healthy’ Orders on Function among Older Adults Participating in a Community-Based, Behavioral Intervention Study
Background: Early mitigation orders for COVID-19 halted participation in community-based programs. We examined the early impact of "Stay Home, Stay Healthy" orders on functioning in older adults participating in a behavioral intervention study involving community-based exercise. Methods: A quasi-natural experiment, using mixed methods ( n = 39). Participants completed interviews and questionnaires after 3-4 weeks of the Stay Home, Stay Healthy di…
Social Participation Modifies the Effect of a Structured Physical Activity Program on Major Mobility Disability Among Older Adults
Our findings suggest that baseline social participation is an important factor for the success of a PA intervention aimed at delaying mobility disability
Patterns of Technology Use Among Older Adults With and Without Disabilities
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: The purpose of this study was to describe prevalence of technology use among adults ages 65 and older, particularly for those with disability and activity-limiting symptoms and impairments. DESIGN AND METHODS: Data from the 2011 National Health and Aging Trends Study, a nationally representative sample of community-dwelling Medicare beneficiaries (N = 7,609), were analyzed. Analysis consisted of technology use (use of e-mail…
Characterisation of smoking behaviour across the life course and its impact on decline in lung function and all-cause mortality
OBJECTIVES: To describe smoking trajectories from early adolescence into mid-life and to examine the effects of these trajectories on health and all-cause mortality. METHODS: A nationally representative birth cohort study including 3387 men and women followed up since their birth in 1946 in England, Scotland and Wales. The main outcome measure is all-cause mortality by age 60 years and rate of decline in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV(…
Comorbidity and Disability in Elderly Mexican and Mexican American Adults
This article aims to compare the effects of morbid and comorbid medical conditions on disability in elderly Mexican and Mexican American adults. Data from the 2001 Mexican Health and Aging Study (N = 4,872) and 1993 to 1994 Hispanic Established Population for Epidemiologic Studies of the Elderly (N = 3,050) were analyzed. Prevalence of medical conditions and disability in activities of daily living were calculated and logistic models were used to…
Neighborhood Context and Mortality Among Older Mexican Americans
Objectives. We examined whether Mexican Americans living in high-density Mexican American neighborhoods experience increased morbidity and mortality compared with the rates observed among Mexican Americans living in low-density areas. Methods. We conducted a prospective analysis of a cohort of 3050 Mexican Americans aged 65 years or older. We examined prevalence of 6 medical conditions and survival over 7 years of follow-up in relation to percent…
Neighborhood context and self-rated health in older Mexican Americans
Prevalence of and Risk Factors for Exertional Chest Pain in Older Mexican Americans
Although numerous investigators have examined the physical manifestation of coronary heart disease (CHD) and its prognostic implications, most of these studies were conducted in samples of middle-aged men and used the Rose Questionnaire on Angina.1–6 Few, however, have examined the manifestation of CHD in the Mexican American population, and none has provided stable estimates of Rose angina in elderly Mexican Americans.7,8 In this brief, we exami…
