New work using #NHATS/#NSOC data by Dr. Xiadong Chen et al. in The Journals of #Gerontology Series A:

#Intrinsic #Capacity Trajectories: Implications for Subsequent #Falls and #Hospitalizations among #OlderAdults

"#IC trajectories were associated with falls and hospitalizations. Strategies focusing on improving and maintaining IC at a higher level over time could help reduce the subsequent risk of falls and hospitalizations."

New work using #NHATS/#NSOC data by Dr. Tara Klinedinst et al. in the Journal of Applied Gerontology:

Linking #Social #Cohesion to #Biological #Markers of #Aging: Evidence From the National Health and Aging Trends Study

"Social cohesion, a measure of #community #belonging, and #inflammatory #biomarkers, like #interleukin-6 (#IL6) and c-reactive protein (#CRP), have emerged as significant factors influencing age-related chronic conditions and functional #decline among #olderadults. Understanding the link between social cohesion and #inflammation is particularly relevant in aging populations, as with age, social networks often diminish, and the prevalence of inflammatory conditions increases. Using data from the National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS), we assessed the relationship between low social cohesion and IL-6 and CRP. We found that low social cohesion was associated with higher levels of CRP and IL-6 after adjusting for the influence of sociodemographic variables. These findings could inform health policies and community-level interventions designed to enhance social cohesion for aging adults."
