In this randomized controlled clinical trial, in the first visit the participants (52.2% men, aged 68.65 ± 2.81 years-old, BMI 26.94 ± 4.09), were randomly allocated in one of three groups: AG (aerobic exercise group), SG (strength exercise group, submitted to five exercises with 15 repetitions each), and CG (control group). Participants had a short-term memory assessment (word list memory test) followed by a single exercise session, and were retested immediately after. 24 h later, participants were submitted to a long-term memory assessment about the story that was presented in the previous day. Results showed that the SG group had a significant improvement in the word list test, when comparing pre- and post-intervention scores, suggesting that a single strength training session significantly enhances short-term memory in this population.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"884-892"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142510437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results from N = 20 caregivers indicated reduced levels of financial strain 2 months post-intervention (p-value = .013). Findings also showed improvements resourcefulness and self-efficacy.

General and sex-specific models were built to predict the ISE. The models showed a moderate prediction ability, with random forest emerging as the optimal model. Mean absolute errors were 0.71 and 0.73 in females and males, respectively, using general models and 0.69 and 0.73 using sex-specific models.

While most performance-based IADL assessments were developed for in-person administration, remote administration could increase access to vulnerable older adults. This study compared in-person and remote administration of IADL tasks from the Performance Assessment of Self-Care Skills. Community-dwelling older adults completed tasks (shopping, checkbook balancing, and medication management) at baseline (in-person) and follow-up (either in-person or remote, with modifications) two years later. Scores between the two follow-up groups, change in scores from baseline to follow-up, and differential item functioning (DIF) between the two administration methods at follow-up were examined. There were no differences in scores between methods of administration, but remote tasks took longer, and one item had significant DIF (ps < .01). Clinicians found remote administration acceptable and feasible. With minor adaptations, remote administration of the three tasks was supported.

Nonetheless, whether migration between a metropolitan (metro) and nonmetropolitan (nonmetro) county shapes the risk of OUD remains underexplored. The drift hypothesis argues that individuals susceptible to a certain health condition tend to move, increasing the prevalence of the health condition in the destinations. By contrast, the environmental breeder hypothesis claims that migration alters the exposures to residential environment factors, which are associated with the occurrence of health conditions. Applying fixed-effects modeling to longitudinal data of older Medicare beneficiaries moving at least once between 2013 and 2018 (N = 6,227, person-year = 28,874), this study finds that older beneficiaries moving between metro and nonmetro counties demonstrated a higher risk of OUD than those who did not move. The positive association between migration and OUD risk is particularly strong for those moving from metro to nonmetro counties and the drift hypothesis receives stronger support.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"916-926"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142510432","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
