Using occupancy modeling to provide insights into suitable habitat characteristics for the already restricted and critically endangered Olalla's titi monkey (Plecturocebus olallae)
Knowledge about changes in wildlife populations over time is essential for making informed decisions regarding their conservation. We evaluated the influence of distinct habitat factors on the occupancy of Olalla's titi monkey ( Plecturocebus olallae ), a Critically Endangered primate endemic to Bolivia. We assessed the presence of titi monkey groups using the playback technique, employing point counts in 582 quadrants of approximately 6.25 hecta…

The influence of social support on cognitive health in older women
Social support is associated prospectively with cognitive decline and dementia among the elderly; however, little is known about the impact of social support on healthy neurological aging. The current study investigates whether perceived social support has an influence on neurological health among a large sample of healthy postmenopausal women. Social support and neuropsychological outcomes were measured annually for six years through the Women's…
Elder Mistreatment Methods and Measures in Round 3 of the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project
The NSHAP Round 3 EMM provides scholars an opportunity to study older Americans' mistreatment experiences, particularly as they relate to their physical and mental health, their social networks and personal relationships, and their broader social contexts
Novel Insights From Interviewer Assessments of Personal Attributes, Home Environment, and Residential Context in NSHAP
Interviewer assessments collected in NSHAP are useful as proxy measures and can be used in combination with respondent's reports and ecological measures to generate insights into healthy aging
Childhood Background Measures and Their Associations With Later-Life Physical, Mental, and Social Health in the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project
NSHAP childhood data included a variety of measures assessing the family social environment during childhood, providing a valuable resource for the study of early-life determinants of health and well-being over the life course
Skin Tone and Perceived Discrimination
The inclusion of new skin tone and discrimination measures in NSHAP 2015 provides a unique and novel opportunity for researchers to more deeply understand how race/ethnicity is connected to health and aging among ethnoracial minorities. Furthermore, it will enable analyses of how stress and perceived discrimination also affect patterns of health and aging among Whites against the backdrop of steadily increasing socioeconomic inequalities and shif…

Women’s Occupational Patterns and Later Life Physical Functioning
Objective: Timing and accumulation of work-related exposures may influence later life health. This study evaluates the association between women's work patterns and physical functioning. Method: Work history and physical functioning information was collected at baseline for U.S. women ages 50 to 79 years in the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study ( N = 75,507). We estimated life course workforce participation patterns using latent class…

Risk thresholds for alcohol consumption
BACKGROUND: Low-risk limits recommended for alcohol consumption vary substantially across different national guidelines. To define thresholds associated with lowest risk for all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease, we studied individual-participant data from 599 912 current drinkers without previous cardiovascular disease. METHODS: We did a combined analysis of individual-participant data from three large-scale data sources in 19 high-inco…
Work Characteristics Associated with Physical Functioning in Women
Women make up almost half of the labor force with older women becoming a growing segment of the population. Work characteristics influence physical functioning and women are at particular risk for physical limitations. However, little research has explored the effects of work characteristics on women's physical functioning. U.S. women between the ages of 50 and 79 were enrolled in the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study between 1993 and…
Courage in the Democratic Polis
Beyond Comorbidity
BACKGROUND: Studies of patients with multiple chronic conditions using claims data are often missing important determinants of treatments and outcomes, such as function status and disease severity. We sought to identify and evaluate a class of function-related indicators (FRIs) from administrative claims data. POPULATION: The study cohort comprised US Medicare beneficiaries aged 65 years or older with Parts A and B fee-for-service and Part D cove…
Attachment and Shame in Gender-Nonconforming Children and Their Families
There is currently no consensus over how best to approach work with gender-nonconforming children and their families. We turn to attachment theory to develop a framework for assessing the impact of two different approaches, suggesting that new understandings of links between shame, shame proneness, depression, and identity might provide key questions to consider in developing services for these children. We outline arguments from both sides of th…
Opportunities for Studying Relationships Between Mobility and Health in Older Populations
In their article, Satariano et al. discuss the public health implications of modes of mobility and health in older populations.1 The authors highlight implications for practice and policy, and call for a longitudinal cohort study of mobility patterns that would provide comprehensive measures of age-related health and function as well as detailed information on mobility including walking, driving, and passenger transport. We applaud the call for r…
Towing the party line
Spider monkey communities are classic fission–fusion primate societies. I present data suggesting that spider monkeys ( Ateles chamek ) at Lago Caiman are territorial; adult males traveled further and faster than adult females and subgroup size was significantly higher in boundary areas of the spider monkey territory where intercommunity disputes were observed than in non‐boundary areas. I then go on to examine data from 20 Ateles communities dis…

Seasonal variations in black‐faced black spider monkey ( Ateles chamek ) habitat use and ranging behavior in a southern Amazonian tropical forest
Data are presented regarding the habitat use and ranging behavior of a spider monkey ( Ateles chamek ) community at Lago Caiman in northeastern Bolivia. Habitat use was driven primarily by fruit availability and distribution across the community home range. Strong seasonal variations occurred in fruit availability within all five of the floristically and phenologically distinct habitat types identified within the study site, and the spider monkey…

Clearing the smoke
Tobacco smoke is the cause of the most deadly epidemic of modern times. Smoking causes cancer (for example, lung, oral cavity, oesophagus, larynx, pancreas, bladder, kidney), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), myocardial infarction, and stroke. The continuing toll of tobacco use has prompted the search for means of harm reduction for those who cannot or will not stop using tobacco. Numerous products that make implied or explicit claims…
Persistent, Consistent, Widespread, and Robust? Another Look at Recent Trends in Old-Age Disability
Evidence from several surveys using various measures indicates that disability has declined among elderly persons. Determining the causes of the improvements should be a high priority in future research efforts
Age, Medical Conditions, and Gender as Interactive Predictors of Cognitive Performance
The interaction of age, medical conditions, and gender on free-recall and mental status test performance was analyzed in two large survey samples of older adults. Age, gender, and the presence of medical conditions interacted with recall and mental status in Study 1 (n = 2,695) and mental status in Study 2 (n = 6,299). For men, those with one or more medical conditions declined more steeply with age than those with no conditions. For women, this …

Edentulism and oral health problems among elderly rural Iowans
A household health interview survey of 3,673 noninstitutionalized people aged 65 and over in two rural Iowa counties included questions about loss of teeth, use of dentures, and presence of oral health problems. Edentulism rates were 10-15 per cent lower than those found a decade earlier in national health surveys. A log-linear analysis found that the best demographic predictors of edentulism were education, age, and marital status. Spouses tende…
Health status of older male prisoners
Although prison populations remain predominantly young, the number of older inmates in state and federal correctional facilities has been increasing. This report describes the results of a health survey of 119 male inmates 50 years of age and older residing in Iowa state correctional facilities. Subject's disease history included hypertension (40%), myocardial infarction (19%), and emphysema (18%). Most participants (97%) had missing teeth, 42% h…

The Ratio of Impaired Elderly in the Community to Those in Nursing Homes in Two Rural Iowa Counties
The Iowa 65+ Rural Health Study gathered health status information on all elderly persons living in two rural Iowa counties. In this report these data are used to determine the ratio of persons with activities of daily living (ADL) dependencies living in the community to those in institutions. Results indicated that the "community/institutional dependency ratio" is about 1 to 1 for these counties, which is about half the ratio representing conven…
The Compression of Comorbidity
Epidemiologic evidence on the compression of morbidity issue suggests that despite the recent increase in longevity of older Americans, the age-specific prevalence rates for most chronic illnesses have not concomitantly declined. However, current morbidity survey methods may not be fully able to characterize the scope of illness, function, physiologic status, and homeostatic capacity of a population to the extent necessary to determine whether mo…

Contracting for Emergency Room Coverage by Rural Hospitals
Obtaining adequate physician availability remains a challenge to many rural communities. To ensure 24‐hour emergency room physician coverage, many rural hospitals contracted for emergency room services from out‐of‐area and/or local physician. Survey findings for 99 rural and rural referral Iowa hospitals addressing the nature, extent, and cost of contracting physician coverage of the emergency room are presented. While nearly two‐thirds of the ho…
Immobilization and health assessment of free‐ranging black spider monkeys (Ateles paniscus chamek)
Eight free-ranging black spider monkeys (Ateles paniscus chamek) were immobilized with Telazol® in Bolivia for the purpose of radio-collaring. During this procedure, the animals received complete medical examinations, and samples were collected for health analyses. Biochemical test results varied with the degree of condition of the animals, and a variety of physical abnormalities were found. Evidence of previous infections with Leptospira sp., en…
Primate diversity, habitat preferences, and population density estimates in Noel Kempff Mercado National Park, Santa Cruz Department, Bolivia
This report documents primate communities at two sites within Noel Kempff Mercado National Park in northeastern Santa Cruz Department, Bolivia. Diurnal line transects and incidental observations were employed to survey two field sites, Lago Caiman and Las Gamas, providing information on primate diversity, habitat preferences, relative abundance, and population density. Primate diversity at both sites was not particularly high, with six observed s…
