Caregiver Support Program May Decrease Work-Family Conflict
The employed family caregivers juggle caregiving and work responsibilities constantly, highlighting a growing concern for their financial and professional well-being. Compared to the rich studies on the caregiving impact on the mental and physical health of caregivers, the intricacies of the work-family relationship have been limited, particularly concerning the dementia caregivers. This study investigates the effects of caregiver intervention on…
Estimating Prevalence of Bereavement, Its Contribution to Risk for Binge Drinking, and Other High-Risk Health States in a State Population Survey, 2019 Georgia Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Surv…
While bingeing is a known risk to public health, its co-occurrence with recent bereavement is a new observation. Public health surveillance systems need to monitor this co-occurrence to protect both individual and societal health. In a time of global bereavement, documenting its influence on binge drinking can support the work towards Sustainable Development Goal #3-Good health and Well-Being
Reducing Disparities by Restructuring Health Care
The Impact of Stressful Life Events on the Incidence of Type 2 Diabetes in U.S. Adults From the Health and Retirement Study
Cumulative SLE and type of stress were associated with incident T2DM in middle-aged adults. Reducing the direct effect of stress with management interventions may reduce the indirect effect of developing T2DM and warrants further investigation
Indicators of resilience and healthcare outcomes
Population-level impact of loss on survivor mortality risk
A respondent with a loss was twice as likely to die when compared similarly aged persons with no loss (OR 2.32; 95 % CI 1.14, 5.30). Loss of either a parent (OR 1.93; 95 % CI 1.01, 4.07), or a child (OR 1.77; 95 % CI 1.08, 2.96) also increased respondent mortality. This elevated risk persists after adjustment for gender and other high-risk health conditions. Any physical activity reduces survivor death rates during this critical period by more th…
The Impact of Mid- and Late-Life Loss on Insomnia
Bereavement and insomnia are both well-documented risk factors for illness. We use cohort data to estimate risk of insomnia after death of a family member among adults aged 50 to 70 years. Each day, 6700 persons die in the United States. During the next 20 years, this number will increase. In this cohort, any loss increases the likelihood of insomnia. The highest rates of insomnia occur among women aged 50 to 59 years; men aged 65 to 70 years, an…

Pregnancy as a Risk Factor for Ambulatory Limitation in Later Life
Objectives. We investigated the relationship between the number of times a woman has been pregnant and walking difficulty in later life. Methods. With data from the Hispanic Established Populations for Epidemiologic Studies of the Elderly, a representative population-based cohort of Mexican Americans aged 65 years and older residing in 5 Southwestern states, we measured walking difficulty using 2 items from the performance-oriented mobility asses…
Factors Associated with Self-Reported Health
This study examined risk factors associated with self-reported health (SRH) in a genetically informative sample of older African American female twins. An interview was conducted with a national sample of 180 African American female twin pairs. Questions included: SRH, demographics, health behaviors, chronic diseases, and functional status. SRH was dichotomized into negative (fair/poor) and positive (good/very good/excellent). Logistic regression…
Executive Cognitive Function of Older People with HIV/Aids
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) has been a growing area of concern for social workers and other health care professionals. Living with HIV/AIDS in the primary care clients are more vulnerable to be subjected to executive cognitive impairment. Clients' cognitive impairment can prevent their families and health care professionals from understanding concerns about executive cognitive functioning. Althoug…
Twin Study of Depressive Symptoms Among Older African-American Women
This study examines factors associated with depressive symptoms in a genetically informative sample of African-American female twins aged 65 years and older. A telephone interview was conducted with 180 pairs of twins. Questions included demographics, health behaviors, health status, activities of daily living (ADLs), instrumental ADLs, and depressive symptoms as measured by the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression scale. Regression method…
Can the Family Still Cope
Although it is clear that adequate social support can make it possible for an impaired older person to remain in the community serious impairment can eventually overwhelm even a supportive network and result in the institutionalization of an impaired older person
A Co-Twin Control Study of Physical Function in Elderly African American Women
Among elderly African American women, physical functioning limitations are influenced by the presence of chronic diseases, other physical problems, lifestyle, and demographics. These associations are not due to genetics or common family environment effects
The Association of Race and Socioeconomic Status With Cardiovascular Disease Indicators Among Older Adults in the Health, Aging, and Body Composition Study
Contrary to the age-as-leveler theory, being Black was strongly associated with CVD indicators, and accounting for SES did not reduce this association. Whether other SES measures, such as access to care, could explain the racial association remains to be explored
The Significance of Socioeconomic Status in Explaining the Racial Gap in Chronic Health Conditions
Black Americans live fewer years than whites and live more years with chronic health problems. The origins of this racial gap are ambiguous. This study examines the pervasiveness of this gap across chronic medical and disabling conditions among middle-aged persons. Alternative hypotheses about how fundamental social conditions of disease differentiate the health of blacks and whites are also examined. Results show that the racial gap in health is…

Do Falls Predict Institutionalization in Older Persons
Data from the Longitudinal Study of Aging (LSOA) were analyzed to estimate the subsequent risk of institutionalization associated with a report of one or more falls, and to determine if the association is affected by controlling for demographic traits, chronic conditions, and disabilities present at baseline. Risk was estimated at two time points, 2 years and 4 years after baseline interview. A report of multiple falls at baseline was associated …
Race and sex differences in mortality following fracture of the hip
This paper describes the all-cause mortality experience, following a fracture of the hip, of 712,027 persons covered by the Medicare program from 1984 through 1987. White women experienced the lowest mortality rate (17.2 per 1000 person-months), followed by Black women (22.9 per 1000 person-months), Black men (33.5 per 1000 person-months), and White men (33.7 per 1000 person-months). The observed race-sex differences in survival were found at all…
Hip fracture incidence among the old and very old
Data were obtained from the Health Care Financing Administration and the Department of Veterans Affairs (formerly called Veterans Administration) on all hospital discharges among the elderly population from 1984 through 1987 and combined with census estimates to calculate incidence rates of hip fracture for the elderly population of the United States. Rates for White women were the highest, reaching 35.4 per 1,000 per year among 95 year-olds. Com…
