AFFECTIVE AND COGNITIVE CONSEQUENCES OF PERCEIVING DAILY EXPECTATIONS FOR ACTIVE AGING
Authors: Wirth Maria , Rothermund Klaus 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Older individuals face increasing social expectations and demands to remain active and participate in society. Perceived expectations for active aging (PEAA) refer to older adults’ recognizing such expectations as being directed at them personally. Previous studies, investigating PEAA as a relatively stable trait-like construct, showed that most individuals can cope well with activation demands. However, some individuals might be distressed by them. A deeper understanding of PEAA and their consequences can be reached when both are assessed in everyday life. In a 14-day diary pilot study with 93 participants (Mage = 65.40, 50-84 years), we assessed daily PEAA in the physical, cognitive, social, and appearance domains and related them to daily positive and negative affect as well as subjective age. Complementing previous work, we showed that daily PEAA not only differed between but also within individuals and that these variations were related to affective experience and subjective age. In multilevel models controlling for daily hassles and uplifts, we showed that on days on which individuals perceived more expectations for active aging, they also reported more positive affect. Daily PEAA and daily negative affect were not related. Moreover, on days on which individuals reported more daily PEAA, they also reported feeling younger. These findings point to the importance of assessing and understanding PEAA within older individual’s daily context.
UCSF’S EMANCIPATORY SCIENCES LAB AS PRAXIS: TOWARD THEORY AND ACTION
Authors: Pond Brittney 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This presentation discusses the UCSF Emancipatory Sciences Lab as a model for intergenerational, international, and cross-institutional collaboration to advance public scholarship centering anti-oppression and healing oriented research, policy, and practice. The lab promotes participation in public scholarship and activism and currently has over 140 members. The Emancipatory Sciences Lab highlights the importance of public scholarship via the production of a podcast, blog series and posts, and engagement on social media including X (formerly Twitter) and LinkedIn. Our podcast, titled EDGES: Engaging Dialogues Generating Emancipatory Sciences, interviews scholars, practitioners, artists, students, and activists to elevate their work and share critical discussions with a broader audience. The Emancipatory Sciences Lab provides tools, resources, and spaces for people within and beyond academia to engage in collaborative work with scholars, practitioners, and students. One example is the Student Writing Series that I created and facilitated, which has provided a monthly space for students to set writing goals, co-write together, and share resources for writing for nearly one year. The Emancipatory Sciences Lab website features a searchable clearinghouse of publications for people in our network in the emancipatory sciences, which is valuable in providing resources and elevating critical work. We host webinar series and promote events from folks in our network to provide space for collaboration, discussion, and learning. Given my background as a first-generation scholar from a low socioeconomic status community, I am excited to share about the work stemming from the Emancipatory Sciences Lab that creates collaborative spaces to share and learn.
EXAMINING LIFE COURSE TRAJECTORIES WITH LINKED FULL COUNT IPUMS CENSUS DATA
Authors: Flood Sarah , Flood Sarah 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Understanding life course trajectories requires data with a long time horizon or sufficiently detailed retrospective recall measures; extending this to include intergenerational processes or mortality outcomes places further demands on data. Historical full count census data from IPUMS are a rich and underutilized source of information on early life conditions and can be harnessed to summarize millions life histories for individuals and trace families over multiple generations. IPUMS full count census data covers 1850-1950 and boast nearly 800 million individual records, which can be linked longitudinally across decennial censuses as well as to external data sources to answer questions about exposures and outcomes across the life course. This session will feature research presentations on the power of linked full count US census data to explore life course trajectories including substantive applications focused on racial equity in older-age mortality, negative economic shocks and long-term wellbeing, segregation and exposure to air pollution, and developing scores for estimating lifespan using commonly available socioeconomic and demographic measures. This session will highlight the value of historical census data to understanding current population and aging issues. The presentations will showcase research that links full count census data in multiple ways and demonstrates the flexibility and wealth of information available in these data.
THAT’S ONE WAY TO DO IT: THE EXPERIENCE OF SUCCESSFULLY PURSUING AND IMPLEMENTING THE AFU DESIGNATION
Authors: Friberg-Felsted Katarina 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Gerontology education and research has been present at the University of Utah (UofU) for 51 years. This has led to multiple programs, staff, faculty, and alumni desiring to improve age-friendly environments, advocate for lifelong learning, and choosing to pursue the Age-friendly University (AFU) designation. This presentation will describe the experience of successfully pursuing and implementing AFU at the UofU. A matrix of age-friendly initiatives across campus, representing each of the 10 Age-Friendly University Principles, was developed and used to garner support from vital entities such as the Professors Emeriti Club, the Dean of the College of Nursing, and the Center on Aging. These partners helped facilitate presentations to the Senior Vice President and the university’s Academic Council of Deans, leading to endorsement from the UofU President. Following receipt of AFU designation, AFU representatives worked with the university’s Marketing and Communications team on a campus wide press release. Strategic planning for improving age-friendliness across campus is ongoing, focusing on three main initiatives: 1) piloting a baseline needs assessment of age inclusivity, 2) creating an Age-friendly University task force, and 3) exploring a collaboration with the Associate Chief of Age-friendly Health Systems to standardize an Age-friendly model for our academic health center.
SHEPHERD UNIVERSITY’S ROADMAP TO AGE-FRIENDLY UNIVERSITY DESIGNATION
Authors: Dobish Heidi 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Our AFU dedicated team first met in August, 2022 to discuss the process for becoming an Age-Friendly University. The AFU team consisted of a psychology department faculty member, the director of the university’s Lifelong Learning Program, and a local community member. Our first step was to map our university’s core values and current age-friendly inclusive activities onto the 10 Principles of an Age-Friendly University. This exercise provided evidence that many ongoing, university-engaging events highlighted four of the Age-Friendly principles. In October, 2022, the team met with our provost and proposed why Shepherd University should endorse the Age-Friendly initiative. Our provost agreed and signed our application letter in November, 2022. With the Age-Friendly University Global Network restructuring, it was a rather long wait for their response but we received our acceptance letter in August, 2023. We sent out press releases and were interviewed by a local columnist. Our first step as an AFU member was to create a six-person AFU Advisory Board with representation from Shepherd faculty, staff, and community members. We meet monthly and are currently working on a mission statement, by-laws, and S.W.O.T. analysis. We are also conducting information sessions for the university community to inform them about AFU and receive input on potential age-friendly activities. The board is keeping a log of activities undertaken as required by the AFU Global Network.

Abstract

Introduction
Mississippi is experiencing outmigration and a decreasing birthrate, resulting in an aging population, which is of growing concern across sectors. The state’s Department of Health led an Age-Friendly Public Health System application and is facilitating a broader Age-Friendly Ecosystem Initiative. As a member of the ecosystem advisory board, MSU was asked to lead the state in pursuing Age-Friendly University (AFU) status.

Methods
The University representative on the taskforce worked with MSU Divisions of Academic Affairs and Access, Opportunity, and Success (AOS) to assemble a working group to consider this opportunity. The group consisted of individuals from the Office of Outreach and Engagement, Interdisciplinary Studies, the Gerontology Education Program, the new College Of Continuing and Professional Studies and Cooperative Extension. The group 1) reviewed the AFU principles, 2) assessed where MSU has current initiatives that align with AFU goals, 3) considered where there are opportunities to develop new AFU-relevant work, 4) developed a proposal for the Provost and President, and 5) prepared and submitted an application to the AFU Global Network (AFUGN). Throughout the process the group has centered the unique role of the land-grant university mission in meeting the needs of the older adults. Results and

discussion
Upon acceptance of the application by the AFUGN in August 2023, the Division of Access, Opportunity, and Success agreed to manage the designation as a convening body and “conscience” for the University. AOS convenes the working group monthly, promotes AFU-relevant activities, and monitors activities for AFUGN required reporting.
SEQUENTIAL ANALYSIS OF DEMENTIA FAMILY DYADIC COMMUNICATION: CARE RECIPIENT CHALLENGING/NEUTRAL COMMUNICATION
Authors: Kim Sohyun , Chen Will , Sun-Mitchell Shan 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Care-recipient challenging communication is nonresponsive, resistive, withdrawing, and critical communication showing disengagement. Care-recipient neutral communication is nonverbal behavior either engaging or challenging depending on the context. This study examined temporal relationships between antecedent care-recipient challenging and neutral communication and subsequent family caregiver communication (facilitative, disabling, and neutral) during 75 in-home care video observations. Secondary analysis of 5- to 60-second timed-window analysis with 5-second intervals was conducted. 95% confidence intervals, p-values, and Yule’s Q statistics were used. The results showed that all types of family caregiver communication were less likely to occur at differing frequencies within each time window following care-recipient challenging verbal and neutral communication. Caregiver facilitative verbal, disabling nonverbal, and neutral communication were less likely to occur within all time widows after care-recipient challenging verbal communication (OR = 0.32 – 0.86, p &lt; 0.001 – p = 0.001-0.037, Yule’s Q = -0.106 – -0.519). Caregiver facilitative and disabling communication were less likely to occur until 35 seconds after care-recipient neutral communication (OR = 0.34 – 0.87, p &lt; 0.001 – p = 0.002 – 0.044, Yule’s Q = 0.093 – 0.459). Care-recipient challenging verbal and neutral communication were significantly associated with a decreased likelihood of subsequent caregiver communication, with a small to large probability of non-occurrence. These results highlight that caregivers often fail to respond to care-recipient challenging and neutral communication. Healthcare providers and researchers should prioritize providing caregiver education focusing on awareness and support of challenging verbal behaviors and other nonverbal behaviors of persons living with dementia.
TIME HELP FROM ADULT CHILDREN: DIFFERENCES AMONG BIOLOGICAL AND STEP-CHILDREN IN NON-STEPFAMILIES AND STEPFAMILIES

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Objectives. Adult stepchildren help their parents less than biological children, but findings based on parent-child dyads ignore that some biological children are in stepfamilies because one or both parents have children from previous unions. Additionally, little is known about how a widespread crisis may disrupt the normal patterns of assistance from adult children to parents. We take a family systems approach to investigate whether the COVID-19 pandemic reshaped adult children’s time help to parents by considering dyadic relationships embedded in family structure. Methods. We leveraged the panel design of the Health and Retirement Study to examine changes in time help to parents. We compared adult children’s responses to parental need prior to and during the pandemic using the 2016, 2018, and 2020 core interviews. We also examined how children responded to parental need using the 2020 COVID-19 module. Throughout we considered biological children and stepchildren in non-stepfamilies and stepfamilies. Results. Stepchildren were least likely to provide time help, followed by biological children in stepfamilies, and lastly biological children in non-stepfamilies. However, among parents who had trouble with instrumental activities of daily living (2016, 2018, 2020 core interviews) or had trouble buying food for non-financial reasons (COVID-19 module), biological children in non-stepfamilies and biological children in stepfamilies were equally likely to help their parents. Discussion. Our findings suggest general stability in biological versus step children’ helping differentials even in times of crisis but also challenge the view that the presence of a stepchild weakens ties between biological children and their parents.
ASSOCIATION OF CUMULATIVE RISK FACTORS AND HANDGRIP STRENGTH AMONG COMMUNITY-DWELLING OLDER ADULTS IN INDIA
Authors: Kulkarni Snehal 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Objective
The present study aims to establish the reference values of HGS in Indian older adults and to evaluate the influence of cumulative risk factors on HGS.

Methods
This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Pune city of India among 1016 community-dwelling older adults. Data on demographic characteristics, functionality, chronic illness, and physical activity was collected using a structured questionnaire. Objective measurements such as slowness of walking and balance impairment were measured using the Timed-up and go test and sharpened Romberg’s test. Descriptive statistics, independent t-test, and one-way ANCOVA were to examine the influence of risk factors on HGS.

Results
The mean HGS of the study group was 16.28 + 5.84 kgs. Male older people had a higher handgrip (20.37±6.91 kg) than females (14.29±5.54 kg). For both men and women, handgrip strength decreased with increasing age. The results show that participants with 4 or more risk factors had significantly low handgrip strength (14.18 kg) than participants with no risk factors (19.62 kg). Functional decline, lack of exercise, and impaired balance also reduced the handgrip among the study participants.

Conclusion
The values of handgrip strength reported in the current were lower than those reported in other studies. Accumulation of more than 4 risk factors drastically decreases the handgrip. Thus, evaluation of handgrip strength can be used as a feasible strategy to improve the health status of community-dwelling older adults.
EXPLORING FRAILTY PREVALENCE AND RISK FACTORS AMONG STROKE PATIENTS: A MULTICENTER CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Frailty is prevalent among stroke patients, and it is strongly associated with higher risks of expected adverse outcomes. However, the risk factors for frailty remained unclear in middle-aged and older patients with stroke. We aimed to identify the prevalence and risk factors of frailty in middle-aged and older patients with stroke in Chinese hospitals. A cross-sectional survey was employed using a random sampling method, involving middle-aged and older patients with stroke in two tertiary hospitals in Central and Northwest China between January 2022 and June 2022. Frailty was assessed with the Frail Scale. Candidate predictors included nine socio-demographic factors and 12 clinical factors. We used generalized linear models to examine the relationship between frailty and related factors. Among 838 patients, 560 were male and 278 were female, with the majority aged between 50-60 years (30.4%) and 60-70 years (27.6%). The prevalence of pre-frailty and frailty was 40.1% (n=338) and 31.1% (n=261), respectively. We found that the stroke type (β = -0.30, 95% CI: -0.46, -0.14; P &lt; 0.001), abnormal nutritional risk (β = 0.23, 95% CI: 0.01, 0.45; P = 0.042), hyperlipidemia (β = 0.21, 95% CI: 0.03, 0.39; P = 0.026), and post-stroke disability (β = 0.59, 95% CI: 0.53, 0.64; P &lt; 0.001) were significantly associated with frailty scores in stroke patients. Our finding provides evidence regarding the frailty status of stroke patients. It suggests that early screening and intervention for these factors are crucial to preventing or improving frailty among middle-aged and older patients with stroke.

Authors: Martindale-Adams Jennifer , Clark Carolyn , Henderson Charles , Martin Jessica , Roth Jennifer , Nichols Linda 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Caring for a loved one can negatively impact well-being for caregivers and persons with dementia. The Department of Veterans Affairs’ Office of Connected Care and Caregiver Support Program expanded Annie Text Care messages to caregivers of Veterans in 2019 beginning with caregiver stress management. As of 2024, over 25,000 caregivers have enrolled in nine different caregiver subscriptions. Dementia Behaviors and Stress Management has 2,880 caregivers enrolled. For a year, caregivers receive 7 messages per week with 4 focusing on dementia behaviors and 3 focusing on stress management. Messages are educational, motivational, and activities or strategies to help based on the Resources for Enhancing All Caregivers Health (REACH) VA program. Caregivers can complete a short, Survey Monkey link, sent every 6 months. Questions are on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from completely disagree to completely agree plus open ended questions. Caregivers reported that the texts helped them manage dementia behaviors (mean score of 4.37/5), manage stress (mean score of 4.4/5), take care of themselves (mean score of 4.3/5) and their loved one (mean score of 4.5/5), and made them feel like someone cared about them (mean score of 4.6/5). Overwhelmingly, caregivers would recommend this service to other caregivers (mean score of 4.7/5). As technology moves toward increasing sophistication with artificial intelligence, this simple one-way text messaging system resonates with caregivers. In qualitative analysis themes, caregivers report that “Annie makes me feel less alone” and that messages come at the right time – “just when I needed to hear it.”
MEDICAL EXPENDITURE DIFFERENCES: EMERGING OLDER ADULTS, BOOMERS VERSUS THE PREDECESSORS IN KOREA (2010–2020)

Published: January 2025

Abstract
South Korea, the world’s fastest-aging society, faces growing concerns over the increasing societal caregiving burden as the aging of the baby boom generation (boomers) starting in 2020. Recognizing the importance of generational context in gerontological research, this study conducted APC analysis on the annual individual medical expenditure (AIME) of approximately 148,000 participants from the Korea Health Panel Survey data (2010-2020), comparing the industrial generation (IG) (born 1945-1954) with the boomers (born 1955-1964). The analysis revealed a declining AIME trend from the IG to the boomers, with age and period effects controlled. This trend was similarly observed in AIME related to out-patient (OP) services and services at primary care providers, contrasting with AIME related to emergency or in-patient services and care at higher-level institutions. The findings suggest that the difference in total AIME between the two generations could stem from a decrease in the use of OP services at primary healthcare institutions by the boomers. Further analysis, guided by the relationship between OP service use and the number of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) reported in prior studies, indicated that the boomers had a significantly lower incidence of major NCDs compared to the IG. This research highlights how the boomers, having driven Korea’s post-war economic boom, are shaping into a distinct older population, diverging from aging patterns of the predecessor generation. It underscores the importance of developing sustainable health management and expenditure policies that reflect the needs of emerging older adults.
THE PSYCHOSOMATIC SYMPTOM CLUSTERS OF OLDER ADULTS WITH DISABILITIES IN RURAL CHINA: A NATIONAL NETWORK ANALYSIS
Authors: Yi Mo , Wang Zhi-wen 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background
Mental health is a crucial aspect of successful aging and healthy ageing. The number and severity of older adults with disabilities (OAD) in China have been on the rise year by year. Due to impaired daily activities and reduced social participation, OAD in rural areas are more prone to various symptoms. Therefore, this study aims to construct a network of psychosomatic symptoms among OAD, identify core symptom.

Methods
The study participants were 3,939 OAD aged 60 and above, sourced from the 2020 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. We employed CES-D-10 scale, MMSE, and sleep-related items to assess interested outcomes, respectively. Depression was measured using 10 symptom subtypes, MMSE included six subtypes such as executive function, language function and calculation ability, etc. The sleep was categorized into three subtypes: excessive sleep, insufficient sleep, and daytime napping. “Expected Influence” and “Bridge Expected Influence” were analyzed as centrality indicators in the symptom network.

Results
Network analysis results revealed that the most severe symptoms among OAD were low mood (r=1.53), impaired attention ability (r=0.98), and insufficient nighttime sleep (r=0.96). The centrality analysis identified the top symptoms as lack of vitality (r=1.06). Stratified regression analysis indicated that sleep disturbances had the greatest impact on the life satisfaction, accounting for 27.5% of the model’s explanatory power.

Conclusion
Central symptoms (low mood, impaired attention and calculation ability, and insufficient nighttime sleep) and key bridge symptoms (lack of vitality) can serve as potential targets for interventions aimed at rural OAD at risk of mental health symptoms.
