Association Between Social Support Dimensions and Mortality Among Older Adults
To investigate different social support dimensions and their association with mortality among older adults in Finland. This study is part of the longitudinal population-based Cardiovascular Risk Factors, Aging and Dementia (CAIDE) study ( N = 1,295), with an age range of 65 to 80 years and a follow-up of 21 years. Cox proportional hazard models were used. In the unadjusted analyses, older adults without general social support and health-related s…
Small acts of resistance – community-dwelling oldest old reclaiming autonomy during a pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic impacted societies and social lives worldwide, leading to wide research interest in its consequences across age groups. This paper investigates the ways in which older adults strived to maintain autonomy during the confinement measures and age-based restrictions. The study draws on empirical data collected as part of the Cardiovascular Risk factors, Aging and Dementia (CAIDE85+) study. Data include qualitative interviews wit…
Social death of older adults residing in nursing homes in Finland
Social death refers to situations in which individuals become socially excluded from social interaction or are considered socially insignificant. Social death is about losing roles, relationships, and eventually identity in the eyes of others. When becoming a permanent resident in a nursing home, older adults face an increased risk of social death. However, empirical research on social death and its manifestations in nursing homes is still scarce…

Personal Social Networks of Community-Dwelling Oldest Old During the Covid-19 Pandemic—A Qualitative Study
The COVID-19 pandemic and its related restrictions have affected the everyday life of older people. Advanced age is a significant predisposing factor for a more severe COVID-19 infection, increasing the risk for hospitalization and mortality. Even though restrictions have been, thus, well-grounded, they may also have had detrimental effects on the social well-being of older people. Personal networks and social activity are known protective factor…
Midlife work ability and mobility limitation in old age among non-disability and disability retirees - a prospective study
Better midlife work ability may protect from old age mobility limitation among those who retire due to non-disability and disability. Promoting work ability in midlife may lead to more independent, active aging, regardless of type of retirement
Midlife Work-Related Stress Increases Dementia Risk in Later Life
Midlife work-related stress increases the risk for MCI, dementia, and Alzheimer's disease in later life. The association was not seen after the extended follow-up possibly reflecting selective survival/participation, heterogeneity in dementia among the oldest old, and a critical time window for the effects of midlife stress

Accumulation of Sensory Difficulties Predicts Fear of Falling in Older Women
The accumulation of multiple sensory difficulties may hinder older people from receiving compensatory information about body position and environment, thus jeopardizing a person's confidence in maintaining a balanced position. Regular screening of sensory functions followed by appropriate actions may prevent the development of FOF, and thus contribute to prevention of falls and promotion of healthy aging
