Inflammation Partially Mediates the Association of Multimorbidity and Functional Limitations in a National Sample of Middle-Aged and Older Adults
Inflammation may be an important biological mechanism through which chronic medical conditions are linked to disability in later life
Stressful Events, Social Support, and Cognitive Function in Middle-Aged Adults With a Family History of Alzheimer’s Disease
Psychosocial factors may influence cognition in at-risk individuals; influence varies by cognitive domain and ε4 status
Income, Education, and Inflammation
OBJECTIVE: To examine the associations between income and education and three markers of inflammation: interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP), and fibrinogen. Socioeconomic status is inversely linked with health outcomes, but the biological processes by which social position "gets under the skin" to affect health are poorly understood. METHOD: Cross-sectional analyses involved participants (n = 704) from the second wave of the national po…
The Survey of the Health of Wisconsin (SHOW), a novel infrastructure for population health research
SHOW generates data to assess health disparities across state communities as well as trends on prevalence of health outcomes and determinants. SHOW also serves as a platform for ancillary epidemiologic studies and for studies to evaluate the effect of community-specific interventions. It addresses key gaps in our current data resources and increases capacity for etiologic, applied and translational population health research. It is hoped that thi…
Socioeconomic Status Predicts Objective and Subjective Sleep Quality in Aging Women
OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that socioeconomic status (SES) would be associated with sleep quality measured objectively, even after controlling for related covariates (health status, psychosocial characteristics). Epidemiological studies linking SES and sleep quality have traditionally relied on self-reported assessments of sleep. METHODS: Ninety-four women, 61 to 90 years of age, participated in this study. SES was determined by pretax hou…
Psychological Well-Being and Ill-Being
Background: Increasingly, researchers attend to both positive and negative aspects of mental health. Such distinctions call for clarification of whether psychological well-being and ill-being comprise opposite ends of a bipolar continuum, or are best construed as separate, independent dimensions of mental health. Biology can help resolve this query – bipolarity predicts ‘mirrored’ biological correlates (i.e. well-being and ill-being correlate sim…
Reduced Primary Antibody Responses in a Genetic Animal Model of Depression
OBJECTIVE: Clinical depression is associated with multiple abnormalities of immune function, including reduced virus-specific responses. This study tested the hypothesis that the Flinders Sensitive Line (FSL) rat, a promising genetic animal model of depression, would exhibit reductions in antigen-specific primary antibody responses to immunization. METHODS: FSL (N = 13) and control Flinders Resistant Line (FRL; N = 14) rats were immunized with th…
Interleukin‐1 induces sleep‐like behavior and alters call structure in juvenile rhesus macaques
To date, there have been no investigations of the behavioral effects of interleukin‐1 (IL‐1) in nonhuman primates. In this study the locomotor behavior and vocalizations of juvenile rhesus monkeys were monitored for 45 minutes following intravenous injections of recombinant human IL‐1 alpha. In addition, their reaction to a broadcasted recording of infant monkey distress calls was determined 20 minutes after the beginning of each test session. IL…
