Disability Among Older Immigrants in the United States: Exploring Differences by Region of Origin and Gender
Int J Aging Hum Dev. 2023 Aug 18:914150231196093. doi: 10.1177/00914150231196093. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRapid aging in American society will be disproportionately concentrated among the foreign-born. Immigrants in the United States (U.S.) are a heterogeneous population, yet little is known regarding their differences in disability later in life by region of origin. We use data from the National Health Interview Survey on respondents ages 60+ (n = 313,072) and employ gender-specific logistic models to predict reports of any activity of daily living (ADL) disability. After accounting for socioeconomic factors, compar...

"Mi Familia Quiere Que Regrese": Retired Latin é Immigrants' Families' Expectations to Return to Their Country of Origin
Int J Aging Hum Dev. 2023 Aug 18:914150231194237. doi: 10.1177/00914150231194237. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe conducted a quantitative, interdisciplinary study that investigated how financial concerns and varying family connections influence the retirement choices of Latiné immigrants in terms of returning to their country of origin. We hypothesized that being worried about one's finances for retirement, and having strong transnational ties, would lead to familial expectations to return to one's country of origin. Through data collected from a survey through Qualtrics, we found that higher levels of financial worry s...

Age-friendly Environment and Aging in Place: Finding from Latent Profile Analysis
This study aims to identify the relationship between the level of age-friendliness of community and AIP. We used AARP Age-friendly Community Survey data with 6670 older adults in the USA. We used responses from 63 items assessing various aspects of a community's age-friendliness to identify different types of age-friendly communities (AFCs) through latent profile analysis (LPA). We then ran multinomial logistic regression to examine whether the types of AFC were associated with AIP. LPA revealed three types of AFC: Underdeveloped, developing, and developed. Regression results showed older adults living in underdeveloped an...

Generational Bias: Another Form of Ageism
This study examined the occurrence of generational ageism and its relationship to internalized and relational ageism. This cross-sectional study surveyed 913 individuals recruited through ResearchMatch. Analyses found that those in the Millennial and Gen Z groups reported experiencing the highest levels of discrimination based on generational cohort and reported feeling that their generational groups were viewed as less capable, more opinionated, and more selfish than other generations. Millennial and Gen Z groups also reported experiencing higher internalized and relational ageing anxiety levels than older cohorts. As our...

Gender Differences in Loneliness Over Time: A 15-Year Longitudinal Study of Men and Women in the Second Part of Life
This study explores loneliness in men and women ages 40 to 80 years at baseline over a 15-year period using panel data from three waves of the Norwegian Life Course, Ageing and Generation Study (N = 2,315). Our analyses show that women were more lonely than men also in adjusted analyses. Logistic regression analyses indicated that loss of a partner and poor mental health are prospectively related to loneliness among men and women, whereas other factors like becoming a partner, stable singlehood, and poor physical health were related to loneliness among women but not men.PMID:37563853 | DOI:10.1177/00914150231194243 (Source...

Predictive Factors of Negative Spillover From Caregiving to Employment Among Japanese Family Caregivers With Older Relatives in a Care Facility
Int J Aging Hum Dev. 2023 Aug 10:914150231194241. doi: 10.1177/00914150231194241. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis cross-sectional study included 211 employed family caregivers with older relatives living in care facilities in Japan. Using multiple linear regression analysis, we examined the caregiving context after institutionalization of an older family member. Specifically, we examined predictors of negative spillover from caregiving to employment among family caregivers. The outcome was the extent of negative spillover. Primary predictors included caregiver characteristics and postinstitutionalization caregiving cont...
