Associations between driving cessation and mental health among rural and urban older adults
>0.05). Findings support the importance of policy and programming to support the mental health of older adults across the rural-urban continuum as they experience limitations in their driving ability
Engaging in a Research-Practice Partnership
Sleep Duration Polygenic Risk and Phenotype
We sought to explore whether genetic risk for, and self-reported, short sleep are associated with biological aging and whether age and sex moderate these associations. Participants were a subset of individuals from the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging who had complete data on self-reported sleep ( n = 567) or genotype ( n = 367). Outcomes included: Intrinsic Horvath age, Hannum age, PhenoAge, GrimAge, and DNAm-based estimates of plasminogen …
Examining the Relationship Between Greenspace and Substance Use Among Adolescents and Young Adults
The beneficial effects of greenspace on mental health supports the exploration of greenspace in the prevention and treatment of substance use and substance use disorder (SUD) among adolescents and young adults. This scoping review aimed to summarize associations between greenspace and substance use and SUD among adolescents and young adults, describe how greenspace is being measured and operationalized, and identify differential effects among sub…
Expanding on Threat and Deprivation
Dimensional models of adversity, whereby experiences lie along dimensions of threat and deprivation, are increasingly popular; however, their empirical validation is limited. In a sample of emerging adults (N=1,662; M age =20.72; 53% female; 72% Black), we conducted exploratory factor analyses using adversities derived from items probing family relationships and a validated assessment of traumatic events. Resulting factors were used to test assoc…

The Relationship Between Cognition and Mortality Among Older Black and White Men in Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and Vital Elderly
Objective : To determine the association between baseline cognition and all-cause mortality among Black men and White men. Methods : Data were from 614 Black and White men aged ≥65 years at baseline in the Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and Vital Elderly trial and their linked mortality information. Cox proportional hazards models were used to determine the association between baseline cognition (memory, reasoning, speed of processin…
Long-Term Effects of Cognitive Training on All-Cause Mortality in US Older Adults
Objectives: Cognitive abilities have been implicated as predictors of mortality in older adults. This study examines the effects of cognitive training on mortality 20 years post-intervention. Methods: Data come from the Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and Vital Elderly (ACTIVE) randomized control trial (N = 2802). Participants were cognitively and physically healthy, community-dwelling adults aged 65 and older. Cox proportional hazard…
