Impact of Pre-Diagnosed Depressive Symptoms on Treatment Choice, Delay in Initiating Treatment, and Mortality Among Women Aged ≥65 Years with Breast Cancer
Studies that have sought to describe and account for pre-diagnosed depressive symptoms on BC treatment choice, delay in initiating treatment, and mortality have been inconsistent. The purpose of the study is to examine the association between pre-diagnosed depressive symptoms and their impact on breast cancer (BC) treatment, treatment delays, and mortality. We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Re…
The Association Between Discrimination and Falling. A National Sample of Older Adults
Discrimination experiences were associated with higher odds of recurrent falling
Efecto conjunto de deterioro cognitivo y condición sociofamiliar sobre el estado funcional en adultos mayores hospitalizados
Introduction: The objective of this study was to evaluate the joint effect of cognitive impairment and socio-family condition on the functional status in hospitalized older adults. Method: A retrospective cohort included 399 older adults between 2014 and 2015. The primary outcome was functional status assessed by Lawton and Brody Scale in four times. Cognitive impairment was assessed with the MiniMental State examination and the socio-family cond…
Polyvictimization and Recurrent Falling in Older Ecuadorian Adults
Objective: To assess depressive symptoms as a mediator in the association between polyvictimization and recurrent falling. Methods: Using data from the Salud, Bienestar y Envejecimiento (Health, Well-being, and Aging) Ecuador Study, we analyzed community-dwelling adults 60 years and older ( n = 5227). Recurrent falling was determined as ≥2 falls during the prior 12 months. Polyvictimization was determined as a history of ≥2 types of abuse. The me…
The Relationship Between Body Mass Index and Cancer Screening Utilization Among Older Women in Latin American and Caribbean Cities
To examine the relationship between body mass index and cancer screening utilization, we analyzed data from six cities of the Health, Well-Being and Aging in Latin America and the Caribbean Study on 5,230 women aged 60 and older, from 1999 to 2000. We found that underweight women were less likely to have had a mammogram, a breast self-exam, and a Pap smear, relative to normal-weight women. However, overweight or obese women were more likely to ha…
Prevalence and Factors Associated to Hypertension Among Older Adults in Bogotá, Colombia
We found a high prevalence of hypertension in our cohort and found that comorbidities and poor self-rated health increase the odds of hypertension. Future studies need to tailor interventions for hypertension management in old age
Nutritional Assessment and Factors Associated to Malnutrition in Older Adults
The MNA is useful to evaluate factors associated with malnutrition among older adults in Bogotá. Malnutrition is associated with perception of poor health, comorbidities, number of medications, and cognitive impairment
Socioeconomic Factors, Immigration Status, and Cancer Screening Among Mexican American Women Aged 75 and Older
To explore the association between socioeconomic factors and acculturation with cancer screening methods, we analyzed data from the Hispanic Established Population for the Epidemiologic Study of the Elderly, on 1,272 women aged 75 and older residing in the United States in 2004-2005. We found that lower Pap smear or mammography uses were associated with older age, lower education, and having public health insurance compared with private. Other fa…
Neighbourhood ethnic composition and diet among Mexican-Americans
Objectives We explore the association between a neighbourhood’s ethnic composition and the foods and nutrients consumed by Mexican-Americans. Design Cross-sectional survey of a large national sample, from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1988–94), was linked to the 1990 Census. The outcomes were food frequencies and serum levels of micronutrients. The variable of interest was percentage of Mexican-Americans at the censu…
Activity Restriction Related to Fear of Falling Among Older People in the Colombian Andes Mountains
The prevalence of overall fear of falling and related activity restriction was surprisingly high because this is a physically active population. Participants with activity restriction related to fear of falling have decreased physical activity or functional status, poor self-perceived health, and worse depressive symptoms than those who have fear of falling alone
Falls among elderly persons in Latin America and the Caribbean and among elderly Mexican-Americans
The prevalence of falls had a large variation among the countries studied. Some of the risk factors that we identified could be modified so as to help prevent falls in older people in these populations. The factors deserving attention include depressive symptoms, functional limitations, diabetes, and urinary incontinence
