Loneliness among Chinese Adults
Purpose: This study validates the ALONE Scale (Chinese) and examines its age association. Method: We analyzed 2,019 anonymous adult responses from a nationwide Wenjuanxing survey in China. Using locally weighted scatterplot smoothing (LOWESS) curves and logistic regression, we compared age differences in loneliness. Results: The scale demonstrated modest internal consistency (Cronbach's α = .600) and a moderate concurrent association ( r = .606) …
Observer ratings of neighborhoods
Enhanced field protocols and rater training did not improve measurement quality. Specifically, retest reliability and interviewer variability remained problematic. Measurement error partially reduced, but did not eliminate concurrent validity, suggesting there are robust associations between neighborhood characteristics and health outcomes. We conclude that the 5-item AAH NAS has sufficient reliability and validity for further use. Additional res…
Association Between Childhood School Segregation and Changes in Adult Sense of Control in the African American Health Cohort
AAH participants receiving the majority of their primary and secondary educations in segregated schools appeared to have been protected, in part, from age-related declines in the sense of control
A simple frailty questionnaire (FRAIL) predicts outcomes in middle aged African Americans
Childhood school segregation and later life sense of control and physical performance in the African American Health cohort
Childhood school desegregation was adversely associated with the sense of control of African Americans in later life, and this reduced sense of control appears, in part, to account for their poorer physical performance. The etiologic mechanism through which childhood school segregation at the time that this cohort experienced it improved the sense of control in later life, which subsequently led to better physical performance, has not been identi…
Impact of Geriatric Conditions Versus Medical Diagnoses on ADL Disability Among Nonagenarians and Centenarians
This study emphasizes the importance of geriatric conditions and their association with ADL disability among the oldest-old adult population
Predictors of Change in Grip Strength Over 3 Years in the African American Health Project
Results can be used to design interventions to improve strength outcomes
Adverse Housing and Neighborhood Conditions and Inflammatory Markers among Middle-Aged African Americans
Three-Year Measured Weight Change in the African American Health Study
Objective: This study examines 3-year weight change in African Americans. Method: Nine hundred and ninety-eight participants 49 to 65 years old were assessed at baseline and 3 years later. Weight was measured, and weight change was defined as clinically meaningful increases or decreases (± 5 kg). Potential risk factors were investigated using multinomial logistic regression. Results: In-home measured weights were available for 752 participants (7…
Antecedents of Global Decline in Health-Related Quality of Life Among Middle-Aged African Americans
Although these risk factors are for the most part nonmalleable, they can serve as markers of impending global HRQoL declines among late-middle-aged African Americans
Rating neighborhoods for older adult health
Observer ratings show promise in understanding the effect of neighborhood on health outcomes. The AAH Neighborhood Assessment Scale and other rating systems should be tested further in diverse settings
Self-Rated Health
The decline in SRH levels among 49- to 65-year-old African Americans is comparable to that of Whites
Neighbourhood environment and the incidence of depressive symptoms among middle-aged African Americans
Aim: To investigate the association between attributes of subject location and incidence of clinically relevant levels of depressive symptoms (CRLDS), and to investigate whether an association remained after adjusting for individual-level factors using data from the population-based African American Health Study. Methods: An 11-item depression scale (Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale) was obtained at baseline and 3 years later thr…
Reliability and Validity of Observer Ratings of Neighborhoods
Observer ratings of neighborhoods show promise as a measure of neighborhood SES, despite problems with interviewer effects. Future work should improve objective criteria for ratings
Reproducibility of Physical Performance and Physiologic Assessments
Additional interviewer training may improve the reproducibility of the tandem stand with eyes open
Further Evidence for the Importance of Subclinical Functional Limitation and Subclinical Disability Assessment in Gerontology and Geriatrics
The subclinical status measures were the main predictors of the onset of difficulty in all tasks and functions 1-2 years later. Interventions to reduce frailty should focus on self-reported subclinical status as an early warning system
False Recognition Effects in Young and Older Adults' Memory for Text Passages
Recent work has demonstrated an age-related increase in susceptibility to illusory memories; specifically, older adults make more false recognition responses to unstudied items when such items are semantically related to studied items. The majority of studies have examined false recognition for semantically associated words; the current study extends that previous work by examining false recognition effects for schematized story actions. In two e…
