Comparing relationships between health-related behaviour clustering and episodic memory trajectories in the United States of America and England
HRB clustering was associated with trajectories of episodic memory in both the USA and England. The effect of HRB clustering on episodic memory seemed larger in England than in the USA. Our study highlighted the importance of being aware of the interconnections between health behaviours for a better understanding of how these behaviours affect cognitive health. Governments, particularly in England, could pay more attention to the adverse effects …
Spatial proximity as a behavioral marker of relationship dynamics in older adult couples
Background: Close relationships in older adulthood are characterized by heightened interdependence, which has implications for health and well-being as partners age together. Purpose: We describe a novel method that uses partners' spatial proximity to examine the dynamics of interpersonal relationships. Research Design: In a sample of 10 older adult couples over a 14-day study period, we linked a continuous measure of partners' spatial proximity …
Gendered trajectories of support from close relationships from middle to late life
This study investigates gender differences in trajectories of support from close relationships among adults in the transition from middle to old age, taking into account stability and change in the identity of the closest persons. Multi-level modelling was used to estimate gendered age-trajectories in three dimensions of support: emotional support, practical support and negative encounters, which were repeatedly measured over ten years amongst 6,…
Successful Aging as the Intersection of Individual Resources, Age, Environment, and Experiences of Well-being in Daily Activities
A cumulative index allows for gradations in resources that can be compensated for by external factors such as person-environment congruence. This index could guide policy and interventions to enhance resources in vulnerable subgroups and diminish inequalities in successful aging outcomes
Responses to Financial Loss During the Great Recession
The "Great Recession" shocked the primary institutions that help individuals and families meet their needs and plan for the future. This study examines middle-aged adults' experiences of financial loss and considers how socioeconomic and interpersonal resources facilitate or hinder maintaining a sense of control in the face of economic uncertainty. Method: Using the 2006 and 2010 waves of the Health and Retirement Study, change in income and weal…
Relationship Processes Within the Social Convoy
Daily measures of contact satisfaction help us understand processes within older adults' social convoys and complement standard measures of relationship quality. Findings suggest that older adults' utilization of their close relationships varies in part by structural qualities of their convoys
