Variations in perceived social support among family caregivers from diverse cultural backgrounds
Our study highlights similarities and differences amongst correlates of perceived social support across two culturally distinct groups of Australian family caregivers, which include demographic, care-related and health-related factors, including mental health. Future research using longitudinal mixed methods approaches would be valuable in better understanding trajectories of care associated with personal, cultural, and structural factors and how…
Link between tooth loss and health expectancy
BACKGROUND: We evaluated the impact of the number of teeth on health expectancy, measured as years of life without limitations in activities of daily living (ADLs) and physical function, among adults aged ≥60 years. METHODS: Data from 3384 older adults in a nationally representative longitudinal study in Singapore were analysed. Health expectancy was estimated using an inverse probability-weighted multistate life table approach with microsimulati…
Development and Validation of a Social Frailty Index Among Older Adults in the Philippines
BackgroundSocial frailty has not been studied in the Philippines, a Southeast Asian country with distinct sociocultural characteristics.ObjectiveTo (i) develop and validate the Social Frailty Index-Philippines (SFI-Phil), using all-cause mortality (up to 4 years) as the outcome and (ii) evaluate performance of SFI-Phil across age, sex, and residence.MethodsPerforming regression analyses on baseline and 4-year follow-up data from 5153 older adults…
Community efficacy for non-communicable disease management (Coen)
The importance of community-based non-communicable disease (NCD) management has been internationally recognized. However, currently, no instrument is available to evaluate a community’s ability to provide NCD management for its residents. This study defined such an ability as “Community Efficacy for NCD Management” (COEN), and aimed to conceptualize, develop and validate a scale to measure COEN. We first conducted literature review, expert interv…
Sharing in Caring
The predominance of caregiving task-sharing patterns involving multiple caregivers calls for expansion of research, policies, and programs beyond primary caregivers. Greater attention should be given to how families and live-in hired workers share caregiving tasks for older adults, and how this varies across cultural settings, especially in familial Asian societies. The findings further highlight the vulnerabilities of solo caregivers, whose empl…
How Helping You Helps Me
Results provide longitudinal evidence for perceived social support as a key pathway from volunteering to quality of life. Volunteering may be an effective way to improve quality of life by helping older adults feel more supported, even if it may not affect the actual help that they receive. Further, a structured and sustainable environment may be required for volunteering to promote personal mastery (and through it, quality of life) among older v…
Trajectories of Informal and Formal Social Participation After Retirement
Literature suggests that on average, social participation declines after retirement. However, there likely remains substantial variability in individual experiences. We rely on seven waves of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging to identify contrasting social participation trajectories of individuals 45 years and older after leaving work, and their individual-level correlates. Informal and formal social participation were measured through self-…
Economic and Social Policies for Human Development
Economic and social policies of governments could improve or worsen the wellbeing of people, so that their impact on human development could be positive or negative. This article discusses the role, as well as the scope, of public policies for human development in the contemporary developing and industrialised worlds, buffeted by frequent global and local economic crises, including a health pandemic of unprecedented proportions, where mainstream …
Engagement in Physical Activity and Quality of Life Among Informal Caregivers of Older Adults
QoL of caregivers may be improved or protected by their regular engagement in PA, especially when their care-recipients have mood impairment. Policymakers and practitioners should encourage caregivers to engage in PA and provide them with the necessary support to do so
Reciprocal Relationship Between Lifelong Learning and Volunteering Among Older Adults
Lifelong learning leads to volunteering, and vice versa, creating a virtuous circle of productive social engagement in later life. Programs or initiatives engaging older adults in either productive activity should promote and provide opportunities for participation in the other activity
Enhancing psychological resilience at the cusp of older ages
Prior research has established a positive association between social support and psychological resilience. In this study, we seek to examine whether and to what extent aspects of individuals’ social network – specifically size (how many relatives and friends one has) and strength (how often did one communicate with close network members and at the time of important decisions) – are related to greater psychological resilience. We use data pertaini…

Transitions between social network profiles and their relation with all-cause mortality among older adults
Association of Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure With All-Cause Mortality Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults
Management of high blood pressure among older adults will likely reduce their mortality risk. However, the association of excessively low SBP and DBP values with mortality risk needs further evaluation
Types of Caregiving Experience and Their Association With Caregiver Depressive Symptoms and Quality of Life
ObjectiveThis study examines distinct types of caregiving experience, each formed by varied combinations of caregiving burden and benefits, and their association with caregiver depressive symptoms and quality of life. Methods: We apply latent profile analysis and multivariable regression to data on 278 caregivers participating in the Caregiving Transitions among Family Caregivers of Elderly Singaporeans (TraCE) study in 2019-2020. Results: We ide…

This study estimates changes in life expectancy with and without mobility limitation to test whether older persons in India experienced compression or expansion of morbidity from the period 1995–1996 to 2004. Age-specific death rates and the prevalence of mobility limitation were obtained from the Sample Registration System and two rounds (1995–1996/2004) of the National Sample Survey. Sullivan’s method was employed to compute life expectancy wit…
Health Concerns among Sri Lankan Female Foreign Domestic Worker Returnees from the Middle East
Female foreign domestic workers (FDWs) are an important and growing occupational group, especially in the Middle East. Although Sri Lankan female FDWs comprise a significant percentage of those employed in this region, little is known about the health issues this population experiences during their employment. Prompted by this dearth in the extant literature, this study aimed to explore self-reported health problems and perceived causes, as well …

The Healthy Eating Goal-Setting and the Planning and Scheduling Scales for Measuring Self-Regulation for Healthy Eating
Objectives: Healthy eating is a central target in many obesity interventions. Self-regulation is supported by theory and research as a key factor in behavior change. While a measure of self-regulation for physical activity has been developed, no such measure exists to quantify self-regulation for healthy eating. The aim of this research was to develop and validate two scales, one for Goal-setting (HEGS), and one for Planning and Scheduling (HEPS)…
Lessons from Singapore’s national weight management program, Lose To Win
The prevalence of overweight and obesity in Singapore is lower than in most countries, but it is increasing. There is evidence health complications may appear at lower weights among Asians. We describe the evolution of a national weight management program [Lose To Win (LTW)] organized by the Singapore Health Promotion Board from 2009 to 2013. LTW is a 12-week program comprising nutrition education, physical activity and mental wellbeing sessions …

Does Support From Foreign Domestic Workers Decrease the Negative Impact of Informal Caregiving? Results From Singapore Survey on Informal Caregiving
FDW support is associated with better caregiving outcomes. Given its aging population, the number of FDWs in Singapore is likely to increase as families try to cope with caregiving for their older members. This has policy implications for (a) immigration patterns into Singapore and (b) training of and support networks for FDWs
