Health-Related Quality of Life in Community-Dwelling Older Whites and African Americans
Findings suggest that general well-being serves as an intervening step between physical and mental health in both White and African American older adults
The Association Between Social Resources and Cognitive Change in Older Adults
We examined associations between multiple aspects of social resources and 5-year change in performance on different domains of cognitive function. Results indicated that lower satisfaction with support was associated with decline in episodic memory performance over 5 years. We also found significant interactions between age and social networks of family and friends and satisfaction with support for the separate cognitive domains. The results sugg…
Negative Life Events and Cognitive Performance in a Population of Older Adults
The findings support previous research indicating that using estimates of individual stressors rather than aggregate stress measures increases the predictive validity of stress measurement. Furthermore, the individual negative life events can have both a positive and a negative effect, which nullify one another when using the sum score of events
Depressive Symptoms Among African American and White Older Adults
Guided by a stress and coping model, we explored determinants of depressive symptoms among community samples of older African Americans (n=255) and older Whites (n=452). We gave focus to the effects of demographic variables, physical health constraints (chronic conditions and functional disability), and psychosocial attributes (sense of mastery, religiosity, social support, and satisfaction with support), along with their interactive roles. We id…
Alcohol, Gender, and Cognitive Performance
This study provides support regarding the potential beneficial outcomes associated with alcohol consumption and cognition and that these benefits were not modified by gender or ethnicity
