  • Generativity and Engagement in Grandparenting Activities Among Older Adults in Northern Sri Lanka

    Open AccessJuan Jose Diaz, Camilla S Dohlman et al.ARTICLEThe International Journal of…2023

    Generativity refers to the desire to pass on one's skills, knowledge, and wisdom to future generations; this may be a clear indicator of the likelihood of older adults investing time and effort in engagement with their grandchildren. This cross-sectional study examines the relationship between generative beliefs and an index of multiple potential grandparenting activities. The data come from a convenience sample of 79 grandparents (aged 55+) livi…

  • Maternal adverse childhood experiences on child growth and development in rural Pakistan

    Open AccessEsther O Chung, Elissa Scherer et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Maternal adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have significant impacts on the next generation with links to negative birth outcomes, impaired cognitive development, and increased socioemotional problems in children. However, not all types or levels of adversity are similarly deleterious and research from diverse contexts is needed to better understand why and how intergenerational transmission of adversity occurs. We examined the role of maternal…

    K L Hale, Lauren C Zalla et al.ARTICLEJournal of Intergenerational…2023Referências: 53

    Grandparenting activities are of increasing interest to researchers seeking to understand reduced social engagement and depression among aging adults. Heterogeneity in the population and caretaking roles complicate its measurement. We piloted a measure of grandparenting activities among 79 grandparents (aged 55+) in Sri Lanka and correlated those activity levels with psychological distress. Second, we explored whether the aforementioned correlati…

  • Racial/Ethnic and Age Differences in the Direct and Indirect Effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic on US Mortality

    Objectives. To estimate the direct and indirect effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on overall, race/ethnicity‒specific, and age-specific mortality in 2020 in the United States. Methods. Using surveillance data, we modeled expected mortality, compared it to observed mortality, and estimated the share of “excess” mortality that was indirectly attributable to the pandemic versus directly attributed to COVID-19. We present absolute risks and proportion…

  • Heightened attention to supplementation is needed to improve the vitamin D status of breastfeeding mothers and infants when sunshine exposure is restricted

    Open AccessAdekunle Dawodu, Lauren C Zalla et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2012

    Although exclusively breastfed infants are at increased risk of vitamin D (vit D) deficiency if vit D supplementation is lacking and sun exposure is limited, assessment of both risk factors in the first year of life is lacking. We evaluated the contribution of vit D intake and sunlight exposure to vit D status in 120 healthy, breastfeeding mother-infant dyads, who were followed up for 1 year. Vitamin D intake and skin sunlight exposure were evalu…
