Well-Being and Aging-Related Decline in Financial and Health Literacy in Advanced Age
This study suggests that well-being helps stave off aging-related literacy decline
Perceived Impediments to Completed Brain Autopsies Among Diverse Older Adults Who Have Signed a Uniform Anatomical Gift Act for Brain Donation for Clinical Research
Diverse older adults expressed different perceived impediments to having brain autopsies completed upon their death. Continuous education for diverse older adults and their family members regarding brain donation for clinical research, including clear guidelines and processes, may facilitate completed brain autopsies among diverse older adults
Relationship of Early-Life Residence and Educational Experience to Level and Change in Cognitive Functioning
Baseline cognition was poorer in individuals born and residing in the South, particularly those attending desegregated schools at age 12
Association of Financial Literacy With Hospitalization in Community-dwelling Older Adults
BACKGROUND: Lowering the likelihood of hospitalization in older adults is a major public health goal for modern health care systems. Emerging data suggest that financial literacy is an important determinant of health outcomes in old age, but the relationship with hospitalization has not been explored. OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that better financial literacy is related to lower risk of hospitalization in older persons. DESIGN: Prospective …
Secular Trends in Cognitive Performance in Older Black and White U.S. Adults, 1993–2012
Between 1993 and 2012, secular trends in cognitive performance in this established cohort did not follow a clear pattern of improvement, contrasting with previous research. But patterns differed by cognitive domain, performance level, and race
Perceived Stress and Change in Cognitive Function Among Adults 65 Years and Older
OBJECTIVE: Exposure to acute and chronic stress can affect learning and memory, but most evidence comes from animal studies or clinical observations. Almost no population-based studies have investigated the relation of stress to cognition or changes in cognition over time. We examined whether higher levels of perceived stress were associated with accelerated decline in cognitive function in older blacks and whites from a community-based populatio…
Perceived Discrimination and Cognition in Older African Americans
Existing evidence suggests that psychosocial stress is associated with cognitive impairment in older adults. Perceived discrimination is a persistent stressor in African Americans that has been associated with several adverse mental and physical health outcomes. To our knowledge, the association of discrimination with cognition in older African Americans has not been examined. In a cohort of 407 older African Americans without dementia (mean age …
The Legal and Regulatory Aspects of Islamic Banking
As Islamic banking has spread, there has been increasing debate about whether specific laws need to be enacted or whether it can be accommodated within existing legislation with the onus on the regulatory authorities to manage the financial risks and protect bank clients. Malaysia has an Islamic banking law and detailed regulatory provision for Islamic banks. The United Kingdom has no specific Islamic banking legislation, although successive Fina…
Social disorder, Apoe-E4 genotype, and change in cognitive function among older adults living in Chicago
Late-Life Social Activity and Cognitive Decline in Old Age
We examined the association of social activity with cognitive decline in 1138 persons without dementia at baseline with a mean age of 79.6 ( SD = 7.5) who were followed for up to 12 years (mean = 5.2; SD = 2.8). Using mixed models adjusted for age, sex, education, race, social network size, depression, chronic conditions, disability, neuroticism, extraversion, cognitive activity, and physical activity, more social activity was associated with les…
Racial Differences in the Association of Education With Physical and Cognitive Function in Older Blacks and Whites
Results from this biracial population-based sample in the Midwest suggest that blacks may enjoy greater returns in functional health for additional education beyond high school
Social Engagement and Cognitive Function in Old Age
We examined the association of diverse measures of social engagement with level of function in multiple cognitive domains in 838 persons without dementia who had a mean age of 80.2 (SD = 7.5). Social network size, frequency of social activity, and level of perceived social support were assessed in linear regression models adjusted for age, sex, education, and other covariates. Social activity and social support were related to better cognitive fu…
Hostility and Change in Cognitive Function Over Time in Older Blacks and Whites
OBJECTIVE: To test whether the level of hostility predicted the rate of cognitive decline in a community of older blacks and whites and whether the association varied as a function of race. METHODS: Over 4800 persons from a defined community in Chicago completed up to three structured interviews at approximately 3 year intervals over a period of up to 8.8 years (mean = 4.4 years). At the baseline interview, hostility was assessed with 8-items fro…
K-Films in the Classroom
In this paper I look at how new media techniques could contribute to the authoring of ethnographies in anthropology courses. Immersive, navigable ethnographies make new imaginative worlds and political configurations possible. I argue that anthropologists should challenge logocentric discourses not only through our theories and our rhetoric, but also through our modes of representation as well. After briefly reviewing some key aspects and metapho…
Making Hakka Spaces
Projects of official nationalism have long been understood as state-sponsored attempts at enforcing cultural uniformity within the borders of the national territory. Contemporary nationalisms tend to compartmentalize minority cultural groups in a way that marginalizes those who are not seen as belonging to the core of the “modern” nation. Contemporary official Taiwanese nationalism promotes the “ethnic Taiwanese” (Hokkien) majority as the modern …
Perceived Discrimination and Mortality in a Population-Based Study of Older Adults
Perceived discrimination was associated with increased mortality risk in a general population of older adults. The results suggest that subjective experience of interpersonal mistreatment is toxic in old age. This study adds to a growing literature documenting discrimination as an important social determinant of health
Loneliness and Risk of Alzheimer Disease
CONTEXT: Social isolation in old age has been associated with risk of developing dementia, but the risk associated with perceived isolation, or loneliness, is not well understood. OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that loneliness is associated with increased risk of Alzheimer disease (AD). DESIGN: Longitudinal clinicopathologic cohort study with up to 4 years of annual in-home follow-up. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 823 older persons free of dementia…

Do Depressive Symptoms Predict Declines in Physical Performance in an Elderly, Biracial Population
OBJECTIVE: We investigated whether depressive symptoms, assessed by the 10-item Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), predicted change in physical function in elderly adults. METHODS: Participants were from a biracial, population-based sample of adults aged 65 and older (N: 4069; 61% black; 61% female). Physical function was assessed as a summary performance measure of tandem stand, measured walk, and repeated chair stand (…
Social resources and cognitive decline in a population of older African Americans and whites
OBJECTIVE: To examine the relation of social resources and cognitive decline in older adults. METHODS: Data are from the Chicago Health and Aging Project, an epidemiologic study of risk factors for Alzheimer disease (AD) and other common conditions in a geographically defined population of older persons. The sample consisted of 6,102 non-Hispanic African Americans (61.2%) and whites, aged > or = 65, who underwent up to three interviews during an …
Racial Differences in Perceived Discrimination in a Community Population of Older Blacks and Whites

Participation in Cognitively Stimulating Activities and Risk of Incident Alzheimer Disease
CONTEXT: Frequent participation in cognitively stimulating activities has been hypothesized to reduce risk of Alzheimer disease (AD), but prospective data regarding an association are lacking. OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that frequent participation in cognitive activities is associated with a reduced risk of AD. DESIGN: Longitudinal cohort study with baseline evaluations performed between January 1994 and July 2001 and mean follow-up of 4.5…
Cognitive Activity in Older Persons From a Geographically Defined Population
Patterns of cognitive activity, and their relation to cognitive function, were examined in a geographically defined, biracial population of persons aged 65 years and older. Persons (N = 6,162) were given cognitive performance tests and interviewed about their participation in common cognitive activities, like reading a newspaper. Overall, more frequent participation in cognitive activities was associated with younger age, more education, higher f…
