Social Mobility and Health-Related Quality of Life Trajectory Classes Among Older Women and Men
Objectives Changes in socioeconomic status (SES) during life may impact health in old age. We investigated whether social mobility and childhood and adulthood SES are associated with trajectories of health-related quality of life (HrQoL) over a 17-year period. Methods We used data from the Helsinki Birth Cohort Study ( n = 2003, 46% men, mean age 61.5 years). Social mobility was derived from childhood SES, obtained from healthcare records, and re…
Work incapacity among family caregivers
BACKGROUND: Family caregiving-related physical and mental health problems may lead to work incapacity in employed caregivers. The aim of this study was to quantify sickness absences and disability pensions (SADP) among high-intensity family caregivers available to the labour market compared with a control population. METHODS: The study sample included all individuals in Finland, who had received caregiver's allowance and were available to the lab…
Mental, Physical and Social Functioning in Independently Living Senior House Residents and Community-Dwelling Older Adults
Senior houses provide social interaction and support, potentially supporting older people's physical and mental functioning. Few studies have investigated functioning of senior house residents. The aim was to compare functioning between senior house residents and community-dwelling older adults in Finland. We compared senior house residents ( n = 336, 69% women, mean age 83 years) to community-dwelling older adults ( n = 1139, 56% women, mean age…
Body composition and changes in health-related quality of life in older age
In older community-dwelling adults, higher fat mass is, independent of lean mass, associated with lower physical HRQoL and greater decline in HRQoL. Prevention of adiposity may contribute to preservation of a good quality of life in older age
Perceived Benefit From Hearing Aid Use and Life-Space Mobility Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults
Objectives: To examine the association between perceived benefit from hearing aid (HA) use and life-space mobility among older adults. Method: Cross-sectional analysis of 76- to 91-year-old community-dwelling adults ( n = 702). Data on perceived hearing with and without a HA were obtained via postal questionnaire and data on life-space mobility (Life-Space Assessment, range = 0-120) via phone interview. Results: Participants who perceived more be…
Hearing and Quality of Life Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults
Perceived hearing difficulties in various everyday life situations are more strongly associated with older adults' QoL than audiometrically assessed hearing impairment
The Association Between Transportation and Life-Space Mobility in Community-Dwelling Older People With or Without Walking Difficulties
To support community mobility among older persons, it would be important to improve different transportation options to meet older persons' individual wishes, needs, and resources
Association of Self-Reported Hearing Difficulty to Objective and Perceived Participation Outside the Home in Older Community-Dwelling Adults
Hearing difficulty may restrict older adults with normal cognition from participating in social and leisure activities and living their life as they would like to outside the home
The Association Between Transportation and Life-Space Mobility in Community-Dwelling Older People With or Without Walking Difficulties
To support community mobility among older persons, it would be important to improve different transportation options to meet older persons' individual wishes, needs, and resources
