Abstract

Background and objectives: This study examines the relationship between lifetime victimization and health in later life and asks whether level of lifetime victimization is associated with an earlier onset of an IADL limitation.

Research design and methods: Using data from the Health and Retirement Study (N=11,143), we construct three levels of lifetime victimization (none, monovictimization, and polyvictimization). We use Weibull accelerated failure time models to examine the relationship between level of lifetime victimization and onset of an IADL limitation.

Results: Monovictimization and polyvictimization were associated respectively with a 9% and 18% earlier time to onset of an IADL limitation compared to individuals who did not experience victimization. Additionally, polyvictimization respondents had an earlier onset of an IADL limitation compared to monovictimization respondents.

Discussion and implications: Lifetime victimization is a life course antecedent to IADL limitations in later life, especially among individuals who have experienced multiple types of victimization. Future research should examine resources that slow health declines among people who have experienced victimization.

期刊介绍： The Gerontologist, published since 1961, is a bimonthly journal of The Gerontological Society of America that provides a multidisciplinary perspective on human aging by publishing research and analysis on applied social issues. It informs the broad community of disciplines and professions involved in understanding the aging process and providing care to older people. Articles should include a conceptual framework and testable hypotheses. Implications for policy or practice should be highlighted. The Gerontologist publishes quantitative and qualitative research and encourages manuscript submissions of various types including: research articles, intervention research, review articles, measurement articles, forums, and brief reports. Book and media reviews, International Spotlights, and award-winning lectures are commissioned by the editors.
