Using data from a probability proportionate to size survey of 938 older adults across 10 administrative districts, we applied multilevel linear models to assess both individual-level associations and the moderating role of district-level gross domestic product per capita.FindingsThe results show that higher overall productive engagement is positively associated with life satisfaction. Volunteering, civic participation, and group learning are positively related to life satisfaction, whereas paid work shows no significant association. Moreover, engagement has stronger benefits in economically disadvantaged districts, where it plays a more important role in supporting well-being.ConclusionsThese findings highlight the importance of broadening the concept of productive engagement to include socially oriented activities and underscore the need for locally responsive, community-based opportunities that support older adults' well-being, particularly in less affluent urban contexts.","PeriodicalId":47878,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Aging & Human Development","volume":" ","pages":"914150261445632"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147822282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Arabic translation of the PR Scale-Short Form (PRS-S).MethodThis study involved 539 older Arabic-speaking adults residing in the Egyptian community.ResultsCFA indicated that fit of the one-factor model of the Arabic PRS-S was poor at first; after adding a correlation between residuals of items 1 and 2 because of high modification index, the fit indices became excellent. Reliability was borderline acceptable (α = .69), approaching the conventional threshold of .70. Measurement consistency was established across males and females. PRS-S scores showed significant correlations with resilience and quality of life scores.ConclusionFindings support the overall validity and acceptable reliability of the Arabic PRS-S, although internal consistency fell slightly below the conventional .70 cutoff. The new measure could enhance the understanding of the prevalence and features of PR among Arabic-speaking older adults.","PeriodicalId":47878,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Aging & Human Development","volume":" ","pages":"914150261446958"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147822298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Younger and older adults in the United States completed the Levels of Personality Functioning Scale-Self-Report (LPFS-SR) and Personality Inventory for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition-Brief Form (PID-5-BF). Differential item functioning (DIF) analyses examined bias on the item-level whereas differential test functioning (DTF) analyses investigated impacts on the domain-level. For the LPFS-SR, 23% of items demonstrated DIF, with the Empathy and Intimacy domains most impacted. For the PID-5-BF, 40% of items showed large DIF, with four of five domains demonstrating large age bias. Across measures, items showed evidence of bias for and against older adults. Findings indicate meaningful age bias on measurements of both AMPD diagnostic criteria, suggesting greater potential to mischaracterize findings when using these measures across the lifespan.","PeriodicalId":47878,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Aging & Human Development","volume":" ","pages":"377-394"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145193446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our findings consistently demonstrate a negative impact of depressive symptoms on cognitive levels, with variations among middle-aged and older adults in urban and rural areas of China. Mediation analysis indicated that residential regions altered the extent of influence exerted by depressive symptoms on cognitive levels, thus serving as a mediator. Specifically, our investigation into the relationships of residential regions, depressive symptoms, and cognitive levels among empty-nesters revealed more pronounced effects and stronger underlying mechanisms. Based on these results, we advocate targeted interventions and subsidies tailored to the specific needs of empty-nesters and socially isolated older individuals. These interventions should aim to mitigate and prevent cognitive decline in this vulnerable population.","PeriodicalId":47878,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Aging & Human Development","volume":" ","pages":"304-321"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144486632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data from 318 participants were analyzed using logistic regression. Results showed that approximately half utilized preventive dental services within the same period. Perception of worsening oral health, acculturation, having a usual place for dental care, and receiving a physical health check-up in the past year were associated with higher odds of using preventive dental services. With low rates of use among older ethnic immigrants with dental insurance, enhancing acculturation, expanding healthcare access, and promoting routine dental check-ups could improve utilization.","PeriodicalId":47878,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Aging & Human Development","volume":" ","pages":"267-282"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12233113/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144121214","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Depressed inpatients (N = 62) between 55 and 92 years (M = 67.60, SD = 8.75) were administered self-report questionnaires to measure personality traits (NEO Five-Factor Inventory), interpersonal processes (IIP-PD-25), depression (Geriatric Depression Scale), and social role impairment (Social Adjustment Scale-Self-Report). We investigated whether the IIP-PD-25 has convergent validity with these measures. After adjusting for covariates, IIP-PD-25 scores were associated with greater depression (ß = .459, p < .001), greater social role impairment (ß = .374, p = .004), greater neuroticism (ß = .614, p < .001), and less agreeableness (ß = -.260, p = .035).
