A Taxonomy of Data Synthesis
As efforts to improve the credibility of psychological and other social sciences continue, researchers aim to conduct multi-study or multi-sample research and synthesize findings using different parameterizations of individual participant meta-analysis. No overarching organizational framework exists, and only a few simulation-based or empirical examples comparing these parameterizations. This article has two goals. First, we provide an overview o…
Moderating effects of educational inequality on education polygenic scores, attained education and dementia-risk relationships
While education is among the most consistent predictors of cognitive health and dementia risk, it is unclear whether this reflects the benefits of schooling itself or other factors such as underlying genetic predispositions or family-based inequality. Further, the benefits of education to cognitive health may be dependent on larger structures of inequality. Using data from the IGEMS Consortium of over 4,500 twins from seven cohorts in the USA, Sw…
Independent and joint effects of body mass index and metabolic health in mid- and late-life on all-cause mortality: A cohort study from the Swedish Twin Registry with a mean follow-up of 13 Years
MHS strongly influenced the BMI-mortality association, such that individuals who were metabolically healthy with overweight or obesity in mid- or late-life did not carry excess risks of mortality. Being metabolically unhealthy had a higher risk of mortality independent of their BMI
Alcohol Consumption Over the Retirement Transition in Sweden: Different Trajectories Based on Education
Retirement is a major life transition that involves changes to everyday routines, roles, and habits. Previous studies suggest that retirement may influence drinking habits. Many natural inhibitors of alcohol consumption disappear with the removal of work constraints. The potential impact depends on both individual and contextual factors. Women in the cohorts undergoing retirement now have been more active on the labor market, including the occupa…
Personality and reasoning ability during retirement age: Report from a Swedish population-based longitudinal study
We examined the association between personality and level and change in reasoning ability in a population-based sample of older adults (62–68 years) using a three-year annual follow-up longitudinal study design (HEARTS; N = 3851). Personality traits were measured using the Mini-IPIP scale and reasoning using a short form of Raven’s Matrices. Findings from a structural equation model, controlling for age, education, and sex, revealed that higher l…
Gender Differences in the Association Between Leisure Activity in Adulthood and Cognitive Function in Old Age: A Prospective Longitudinal Population-Based Study
Cognitively stimulating activities (i.e., self-improvement and intellectual-cultural), might increase cognitive reserve whereas less cognitively stimulating activities (i.e., domestic) do not. Gender differences should be considered when examining lifestyle factors in relation to cognitive aging
State provision down, offspring's up: The reverse substitution of old-age care in Sweden
Substitution among the providers of old-age care has usually meant a process whereby the state ‘takes over’ what families used to do, but during the 1980s and 1990s, both home help and institutional care were cut back substantially in Sweden as elsewhere. Comparable, nationally representative surveys in Sweden of the provision of care for older people living in the community enable analysis of the effects of these cutbacks on the sources and patt…
Terminal Decline and Markers of Cerebro- and Cardiovascular Disease: Findings From a Longitudinal Study of the Oldest Old
The purpose of this study was to examine the cognition-survival relationship among nondemented individuals in late life. The longitudinal design included three examinations at 2-year intervals. At baseline, 466 individuals (age range = 80-98) were examined. During the 6 years of follow-up, 206 individuals died. Four survival groups were defined on the basis of mortality prior to the subsequent measurement occasion. Tests of cognitive functioning …
