Trends and lifestyle contributions to frailty in US adults aged 50 and older
Frailty is a critical geriatric syndrome associated with modifiable lifestyle factors, yet their population-level contributions remain unclear. This study aimed to quantify the proportion of frailty incidence attributable to modifiable lifestyle factors and assess temporal trends in the US. We analyzed data from 26,247 participants in the Health and Retirement Study (2004–2020) involving adults aged ≥ 50 years. Frailty was assessed using the Paul…
Kinlessness and end-of-life care quality
Objectives Close family members provide the majority of end-of-life (EoL) caregiving. However, the number of kinless older adults (defined as lacking children and a partner) is increasing. Moreover, non-White older adults are more likely to rely on close families to provide care at the EoL than their White counterparts. Therefore, we examined the association between kinlessness and the quality of EoL care among older adults and the intersectional…

Objectives Agitation among older residents with cognitive impairment is a common challenge in long-term care (LTC) facilities. However, systematic investigations into contributing factors of agitation of older Chinese in LTC facilities remain limited. This study examines individual, family, staff, and facility-level factors associated with agitation in older Chinese with cognitive impairment in LTC facilities. Methods We collected individual and …
Examining human-animal interactions and their effect on multidimensional frailty in later life
This scoping review sought to compile outcomes associated with any human-animal interaction study regarding adults aged 50 and older in any living context and concerning a multidimensional (i.e., physical, psychological, cognitive, and social) perspective of frailty. Despite our best attempts at incorporating the broadest inclusion criteria possible, only four articles were relevant to this review. Participants across the included studies were ru…
A User-Friendly Introduction to RQDA for Qualitative Research
This article introduces an open-source software package —R for Qualitative Data Analysis (RQDA). RQDA is an R package for analysis of text-formatted data, which is compatible across operating platforms. It is user-friendly and seamlessly integrates with R, which makes it possible to conduct statistical analyses on qualitative coding. Alternative qualitative software packages are often prohibitively expensive. Thus, many researchers choose to manu…
Neighborhood tenure mixing
In this brief report, neighborhood tenure mixing is defined as the proportion of owner-occupied versus renter-occupied properties in a neighborhood. The current study examined the association between the proportion of neighborhood tenure mixing, neighborhood crime, and the physical conditions of the neighborhood environment (i.e., incivilities, territoriality, and built environment). Fourteen trained raters (i.e., 7 dyads) used the Revised Block …
Marital Transitions, Change in Depressive Symptomology, and Quality of Social Relationships in Midlife and Older U.S. Adults
Preventing negative health outcomes following marital transitions can promote personal recovery and well-being. We used the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) (2012, 2014) to test whether social relationship quality moderated the association between marital transition and change in depressive symptomology among U.S. adults aged 50 and older (n = 3,705). Marital status transitions between 2012 and 2014 included remained married/partnered, divorced/…
Trends in the prevalence of vision impairment among the oldest-old Chinese population from 1998 to 2018

Skin Tone, Discrimination, and Allostatic Load in Middle-Aged and Older Puerto Ricans
OBJECTIVE: A growing body of research suggests that skin tone may be a health risk indicator for Hispanics. Black and darker-skinned Hispanics have worse mental and physical outcomes than White and lighter-skinned Hispanics. Discrimination exposure has been implicated as a risk factor that may explain the association between skin tone and health. However, there is scant research examining the interrelationship between skin tone, discrimination, a…

Proximal Social Determinants of Adolescents' Health
Adolescent health has a significant influence as individuals transition to adulthood and can have lifelong effects on well-being. In addition to well-established structural determinants of health such as racism and poverty, proximal determinants of adolescent health illuminate on the health effects of the daily circumstances of adolescents. Guided by the proximal determinants of adolescent health theory, we examined the association between adoles…
Association between Children’s Saving Account and Parent Rated Children’s Health
Children’s Savings Accounts (CSAs) are interventions designed to build educational assets for school-age children. The positive effects of having a CSA has been established for mental health and developmental outcomes, yet no studies to date have examined how CSAs affect children’s physical health.
