A Comparison of Dementia-free Life Expectancy Estimates Across Competing Algorithmic Classifications
Small differences in population-level estimates across algorithmic classification are observed; however, these small differences may be important for understanding disparities across groups. Therefore, more work is needed 1) to understand for whom and which models are most accurately identifying dementia and 2) to place these models relative to gold-standard adjudicated dementia assessments
Race, Age, and Allostatic Load Among Men in the Nashville Stress and Health Study
High allostatic load (AL), a measure of physiological dysregulation, has been linked with premature morbidity and mortality. There is a paucity of research assessing AL among non-Hispanic Black (NHB) and non-Hispanic White (NHW) American men of various age groups. This study investigated racial differences in AL among NHB and NHW adult men and assessed whether racial differences in AL varied by age. Data were drawn from NHB ( n = 232) and NHW ( n…
Institutional, neighborhood, and life stressors on loneliness among older adults
Our study finds racial/ethnic variation in psychosocial stressors predicting loneliness four years later. Nevertheless, neighborhood discohesion was the most salient stressor and was associated with greater loneliness across all racial/ethnic groups. Future research and interventions should consider the differing stress appraisal processes across groups and to support the development of resources and policies to ameliorate loneliness among divers…
A Scoping Review of Neighborhoods and Cognitive Health Disparities Among US Midlife and Older Adults
Objectives: The neighborhood environment may be an important determinant of racial/ethnic disparities in cognitive function. To understand how neighborhoods are linked to cognition across racial/ethnic groups, this scoping review organizes research investigating relationships between multiple neighborhood domains and cognitive function in diverse samples of US midlife and older adults. Methods: PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, and CAHL were used t…
An exploration of neighborhood characteristics, psychosocial resilience resources, and cognitive functioning among midlife and older black adults
These findings demonstrate the importance of examining psychosocial and contextual risk and resilience resources among midlife and older Black adults. This work may inform the development of cognitive behavioral interventions aimed at increasing sense of purpose to promote and enhance cognitive resiliency among Black adults. Altogether, this work may have implications for policy aimed at advancing cognitive health equity
Perceived Neighborhood Characteristics and Cognitive Functioning among Diverse Older Adults
Unfavorable neighborhood conditions are linked to health disparities. Yet, a dearth of literature examines how neighborhood characteristics contribute to cognitive health in diverse samples of older adults. The present study uses an intersectional approach to examine how race/ethnicity, gender, and education moderate the association between neighborhood perceptions and cognitive functioning in later life. We used data from adults ≥65 years old ( …
The Devastating Economic Impact of Covid-19 on Older Black and Latinx Adults
During the COVID-19 pandemic, older Black and Latinx adults are experiencing disparate economic effects, including lacking money to cover basic needs, compared to older White adults. The implications of the economic shocks of the pandemic for the health and well-being of older Black and Latinx adults warrant policy-oriented action toward promoting equity
Association between telomere length and neighborhood characteristics by race and region in US midlife and older adults
Examining Mammography Use by Breast Cancer Risk, Race, Nativity, and Socioeconomic Status
