Association between Helping Behaviors and Epigenetic Aging
Background Prosocial behaviors such as volunteering and informal helping have been associated with positive health outcomes, but their links with biological aging remain underexplored, particularly across cultural contexts. The United States and Northern Ireland provide distinct social and institutional contexts for helping behaviors, allowing us to examine whether associations between volunteering, informal helping, and biological aging are cont…
Post-traumatic stress disorder and memory function in older adults exposed to civilian conflict
Research with veterans, refugees and other trauma-exposed groups has identified a link between post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and deficits in memory. This study sought to determine whether similar associations can be observed in a large, population-representative sample of older adults with high levels of exposure to conflict amongst older adults in Northern Ireland (NI). Using data from the Northern Ireland COhort for the Longitudinal stu…
Relationship between long-term exposure to sources of particulate matter, ambient air pollution and cognitive function in older adults
Long-term exposure to particulate matter with a diameter of less than 2.5 μm (PM 2.5 ) is associated with cognitive decline, but it is not clear whether the potential effects of PM 2.5 from different emission sources vary. This study aims to assess the association between PM 2.5 from different emission sources and cognitive function in older adults in Northern Ireland. Using data of the Northern Ireland Cohort of Longitudinal Ageing from wave 1 (…
Green space, life-course socioeconomic disparities and cognitive function in later life
There is evidence that green space may reduce socioeconomic disparities in health (‘equigenesis’). However, it is still unclear whether such a finding is also valid for cognitive function in older adults. Therefore, using data from the Northern Ireland Cohort for the Longitudinal Study of Ageing, this study examines whether exposure to green spaces reduces the effect of socioeconomic disparities in cognitive function in later life. It uses the No…
Remarkable concordance in associations between epigenetic clocks and health behaviors across three countries
Northern Ireland Cohort for the Longitudinal Study of Ageing (Nicola)
This manuscript can help inform design considerations for other population based studies of ageing and facilitate cross-country comparative analysis of key life-course factors affecting healthy ageing such as educational attainment, diet, the accumulation of chronic conditions (including Alzheimer's disease, dementia and cardiovascular disease) as well as welfare and retirement policies
Feasibility of Repeated Assessment of Cognitive Function in Older Adults Using a Wireless, Mobile, Dry-EEG Headset and Tablet-Based Games
Access to affordable, objective and scalable biomarkers of brain function is needed to transform the healthcare burden of neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disease. Electroencephalography (EEG) recordings, both resting and in combination with targeted cognitive tasks, have demonstrated utility in tracking disease state and therapy response in a range of conditions from schizophrenia to Alzheimer's disease. But conventional methods of recordi…
