  • Health Disparities in Appalachian and Other Rural Communities

    Open AccessKristina M Hash, Bernard G Schreurs et al.ARTICLEThe International Journal of…2024

    Rural areas are home to a larger proportion of older adults and populations who age within these locales and suffer disproportionately from health, mental health, and economic disparities compared to their urban counterparts. This article will explore the disparities faced by persons that reside in rural communities across the lifespan. It will briefly discuss what is meant by rural. As a rural region at specific risk, the issues confronting thos…

  • Age Differences in Risk and Resilience Factors in Covid-19-Related Stress

    Open AccessAnn Pearman, Mackenzie Hughes et al.EDITORARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2020Cited by: 18References: 3

    Our results suggest that anxiety might function as a risk factor, whereas proactive coping may function as a resilience factor for older adults' COVID-19 stress. We encourage future context-dependent investigations into mental health among older adults during this pandemic and beyond

    Certain specific health conditions, as well as total number of conditions, are associated with passive suicidal ideation in middle age and older adulthood. Health is a critical risk factor for suicidal ideation in late life and should be further studied in this particularly at-risk population

  • Depression in Older Adults

    Amy Fiske, Julie Loebach Wetherell et al.ARTICLEAnnual Review of Clinical…2009

    Depression is less prevalent among older adults than among younger adults, but it can have serious consequences. More than half of cases represent a first onset in later life. Although suicide rates in the elderly are declining, they are still higher than in younger adults and are more closely associated with depression. Depressed older adults are less likely to endorse affective symptoms and more likely to display cognitive changes, somatic symp…

  • Rural suicide rates and availability of health care providers

    Open AccessAmy Fiske, Margaret Gatz et al.ARTICLEJournal of Community Psychology2005Cited by: 6References: 11

    Suicide rates are higher in rural than in urban areas in the United States. One explanation that is frequently offered is scarcity of health and mental health treatment providers in rural areas. The current study tested whether number of providers per capita would explain differences in urban and rural suicide rates within the counties of California, using data from 1993–2001. Results indicate suicide rates were higher in more rural counties, ent…

  • Depressive Symptoms and Aging

    Amy Fiske, Margaret Gatz et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2003Cited by: 11

    This study examined whether depressive symptoms increase with age longitudinally, and it evaluated two potential sources of influence-declining health and non-health-related negative life events. Adults aged 29-93 years from the Swedish Adoption/Twin Study of Aging completed the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression scale three times at 3-year intervals. Analyses were performed on one twin (n = 877) and repeated on the second twin (n = 909)…

  • Future Directions in Late Life Suicide Prevention

    Open AccessAmy Fiske, Patrick ArboreARTICLEOMEGA - Journal of Death and Dying2001

    Late life suicide is characterized by less warning, higher lethality, and greater prevalence of depression and physical illness than suicide earlier in the lifespan. Suicidal older adults are more likely to seek help from a physician than through mental health channels, and suicide risk often remains undetected. Hopelessness is a prominent feature in older adult suicide. Traditional suicide hotlines receive few calls from older adults, and staff …
