Retirement planning is defined as preparing for financial, lifestyle, psychosocial, and health aspects. Data were collected from 500 participants aged 50+ using the Retirement Planning Process and Relational Aging Anxiety scales. Analysis included analysis of variance, t-tests, Pearson Correlation, and Linear Regression. Results highlight two key factors: collective affinity for older people and relational aging anxiety. A significant positive relationship exists between retirement planning and collective affinity. Findings indicate that married individuals plan more; women prioritize health planning but experience higher relational anxiety than men. Additionally, increased seniority correlates with higher planning tendencies. Personal aging anxiety also significantly relates to financial, lifestyle, and health planning. In conclusion, holistic retirement training with a relational anxiety component for women is recommended. Increasing intergenerational contact could further facilitate planning and reduce anxiety.","PeriodicalId":47878,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Aging & Human Development","volume":" ","pages":"306-322"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13546408/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147822296","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}

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":"336-359"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","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}

Descriptive statistics, Spearman correlation coefficients and internal consistency analyses were conducted in SPSS 24.0. Psychological flexibility showed a strong inverse association with perceived loneliness (ρ = -0.824, p < .01). All subdimensions were related to lower emotional and social loneliness, with the strongest links for Self-as-Context and for Values and Committed Action. Reliability analyses indicated high internal consistency for all measures.

Chi-square and logistic regression were utilized to examine the relationship between psychological distress and MCI, adjusted for covariates. We found that those with higher psychological distress had significantly higher MCI (OR = 1.36, p < .05); other covariates, including body mass index and age, were also significantly associated with MCI (OR = 1.16, p < .05; OR = 1.14, p < .05, respectively).

This study examined demographic variability in vaccination hesitancy among older adults in a rural state and the potentially mediating role of trust uncertainty. A cross-sectional survey of a random sample of 739 adults aged 65+ in North Dakota was conducted from May to July 2022. Using bootstrapped mediation analyses, we assessed whether trust uncertainty mediated the relationships between demographic characteristics and vaccine hesitancy and acceptance. Results showed uncertainty about whom to trust was a significant predictor of both higher vaccine hesitancy and lower vaccine acceptance. Uncertainty about whom to trust fully mediated the relationship between rurality and vaccine hesitancy, and between education and vaccine acceptance. Political leaning and physical health were also partially mediated through uncertainty about whom to trust. These findings highlight the role of trust in shaping vaccine attitudes and the need for tailored communication strategies that address information uncertainty.","PeriodicalId":47878,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Aging & Human Development","volume":" ","pages":"914150261480669"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148898066","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}

A total of 259 adults aged 18-58 (Mage = 26.86, SD = 8.50) participated in the study via an online survey following ethical approval from a Turkish university. Participants completed measures of subjective age, life satisfaction, and health-related quality of life (SF-12), along with demographic information. Correlation analyses and hierarchical multiple regression analyses were conducted using SPSS 25. Correlational findings showed significant associations between all subjective age dimensions and quality-of-life indicators. However, regression analyses revealed that only feel age significantly predicted mental health (β = .156, p = .026) and life satisfaction (β = .182, p = .006), after controlling for chronological age and subjective health. None of the subjective age dimensions significantly predicted physical health once subjective health was accounted for. Subjective health emerged as the strongest predictor of both physical and mental health outcomes. The results emphasize the unique role of feel age as a psychologically meaningful aspect of subjective aging, especially in relation to mental health and quality of life. While other subjective age dimensions showed bivariate associations, only feel age demonstrated independent predictive power. These findings contribute to a more nuanced understanding of subjective aging in early to mid-adulthood, highlighting its relevance beyond older adult populations. The study also underscores the importance of considering subjective health as a core variable in well-being research.","PeriodicalId":47878,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Aging & Human Development","volume":" ","pages":"914150261467699"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148892573","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}

Seventy-eight community-dwelling midlife and older adults classified as having high or low health literacy using the Newest Vital Sign completed a counterbalanced print- and internet-based health search task. A 2 × 2 mixed-factorial analysis of variance revealed that both lower health literacy and the internet format were associated with poorer task accuracy and greater task completion time. Contrary to expectation, the influence of task format on performance did not disproportionately affect individuals with low health literacy. Findings suggest that both health literacy and communication formats independently influence midlife and older adults' ability to accurately and efficiently retrieve health information.

This study examined the types, co-occurrence, and perceived intensity of losses experienced by older adults in Chile, where no prior research has systematically addressed this phenomenon. We also analyzed how sociodemographic variables (sex, education, income, and social network characteristics) and cognitive impairment without dementia relate to the experience of loss. One hundred ninety-four community-dwelling older adults in Chile completed the Scale of Losses in Old Age (SLO), the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), and a sociodemographic questionnaire. Results confirmed the accumulation of diverse, mostly moderate-intensity losses, particularly the death of significant others and declines in health and physical capacity. Losses tended to co-occur and were significantly associated with socioeconomic disadvantage and dissatisfaction with close relationships, especially with children. Cognitive impairment was associated with greater intensity of specific losses but did not independently predict overall burden. These findings highlight the importance of considering the number and types of losses, their subjective appraisal, and the structural and relational conditions that shape their psychological impact. The study offers a novel framework for assessing loss in old age and provides context-sensitive evidence to inform policy and intervention design.","PeriodicalId":47878,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Aging & Human Development","volume":" ","pages":"227-246"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145702693","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}
