Racial differences in links between perceived discrimination, depressive symptoms, and ambulatory working memory
CONCLUSION: Depressive symptoms may play an important role in the link between discrimination and ambulatory working memory among Black adults across extended measurements, but not at the momentary level. Future research should address ambulatory cognition and momentary reports of discrimination and depression to better understand how to minimize cognitive health disparities associated with discrimination.PMID:38738650 | DOI:10.1080/13607863.2024.2351923 (Source: Aging and Mental Health)

Exploring the associations between structural and functional aspects of social relationships and cognition in very old age
CONCLUSION: The findings underline the positive association between structural aspects of social relationships and global cognition in very old age. They also highlight the need for interventions promoting a socially active lifestyle to prevent cognitive decline in this vulnerable age group.PMID:38712590 | DOI:10.1080/13607863.2024.2348616 (Source: Aging and Mental Health)

Risk and protective factors of a wish to die and suicidal ideation in community-dwelling, older, Flemish adults: results of the Belgian ageing studies
CONCLUSION: Previous research regarding risk factors to be confirmed in this study, and new insights on the effect of elder abuse, subjective indicators of cognitive complaints and requiring support are added. Further research into protective factors and underlying mechanisms is required.PMID:38708865 | DOI:10.1080/13607863.2024.2345779 (Source: Aging and Mental Health)

A mixed methods feasibility study of a virtual group-based social support program for older adults in residential care
CONCLUSION: Findings are encouraging and suggest that the JMC-D may support emotional and other psychosocial indices of wellness in residential care during times of physical distancing. Appropriate staffing, resources, and internet accessibility are important for implementation and uptake.PMID:38709573 | DOI:10.1080/13607863.2024.2345776 (Source: Aging and Mental Health)

Examining mental health and autonomic function as putative mediators of the relationship between sleep and trajectories of cognitive function: findings from the Irish longitudinal study on ageing (TILDA)
CONCLUSION: Older adults with short or disturbed sleep are at risk of cognitive decline due to poor mental health. Individuals with long sleep are also at risk, however, the acting pathways remain to be identified. These outcomes have clinical implications, potentially identifying intervention strategies targeting mental health and sleep as prophylactic measures against dementia.PMID:38709667 | DOI:10.1080/13607863.2024.2345133 (Source: Aging and Mental Health)

Older adults, perceived ageism, civic participation and mental health: a qualitative study
CONCLUSIONS: Ageism made it difficult for people to participate in civic life, which has been linked to better mental health. These findings emphasize the need to encourage inclusive civic involvement to improve older individuals' mental health.PMID:38709682 | DOI:10.1080/13607863.2024.2348611 (Source: Aging and Mental Health)
