Data came from 6,566 adults in the 2018 Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey. Smoking and drinking initiation were classified as never, adolescent (<18), or adult (≥18). ELA included three childhood hardships (score 0-4). Outcomes were self-rated health (SRH), depressive symptoms, and anxiety severity. Ordinal logistic regression estimated associations and ELA interactions, adjusting for demographic, socioeconomic, and lifestyle factors. Adult smoking and both adolescent and adult drinking were associated with poorer SRH. ELA strengthened the association between adolescent smoking and SRH and heightened the anxiety risk associated with adult drinking. ELA alone did not predict depression, but was associated with higher anxiety. ELA strengthens the long-term health impacts of early smoking and drinking. Interventions addressing childhood hardship and preventing adolescent substance use may promote healthier aging.","PeriodicalId":47878,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Aging & Human Development","volume":" ","pages":"914150261456754"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148206728","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}

Preventative health measures during the pandemic, such as social distancing and lockdowns, raised concerns that self-reports of loneliness would further increase. Published literature from the first few months of the pandemic supported these concerns, but long-term effects were largely unknown. Here, we examined whether self-reported loneliness varied across the pandemic by gender, age, and co-residence with a romantic partner. We conducted an exploratory secondary analysis of 26 survey waves from the understanding COVID in America study spanning 15 months of the pandemic, starting from April 2020. Self-reported loneliness was consistently greater among women, younger people, and those not living with a romantic partner, but decreased across the pandemic for all demographic groups. A significant four-way interaction between survey wave, gender, age, and co-residence with a romantic partner showed that younger women who were not living with a romantic partner were the most likely to report loneliness at the beginning of the pandemic and showed the greatest reduction in risk of loneliness by the last survey wave. Based on our findings, we discuss potential interventions to decrease loneliness.","PeriodicalId":47878,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Aging & Human Development","volume":" ","pages":"399-420"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144650901","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}

Using nationally representative 2016 Health and Retirement Study data, weighted ordinary least squares regression analyses were conducted. Included in this cross-sectional study were 204 LGB participants and 3,333 heterosexual participants. Results indicated that for heterosexual older adults, formal volunteering was positively associated with current memory rating (p < .05). For LGB older adults, there were no significant relationships between volunteering and health. Statistically, the findings suggest that the well-documented health benefits of volunteering may not be supported in the LGB older adult population; substantively, the findings suggest a need to examine socially constructed meanings of volunteering among LGB older adults and related benefits.

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}
