A cross-sectional study involved 1119 community-dwelling residents aged ≥65. SWB was assessed using single items on self-rated health and happiness, while nutritional status was evaluated with the Mini Nutritional Assessment. In multiple linear regression models, nutritional status, handgrip strength, and physical activity significantly correlated with self-rated health, while nutritional status significantly correlated with self-rated happiness. In multiple mediation models, nutritional status exerted positive direct effects on both self-rated health and happiness. Meanwhile, handgrip strength also conferred positive indirect effects from nutritional status to both domains of the SWB. Physical activity positively intervened the relationship between nutritional status and self-rated health. These findings illustrate that nutritional status had a direct effect on SWB and was indirectly intervened by physiological factors.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"7334648251338304"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144022204","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}

Evidence suggests that actively engaging care partners improves outcomes. However, there is little information on the best approaches to optimize active engagement. Enhancing Active Caregiver Training (EnACT) is an arts-based intervention designed to help care partners address the behavioral symptoms of dementia. The purpose of this study is to describe the process of partnering with care partners of persons living with dementia (n = 9) to refine EnACT. We conducted a series of three iterative focus groups to (1) identify video vignettes, (2) test intervention activities, and (3) gather feedback. Focus groups were analyzed in three cycles using structural, descriptive, and pattern coding. Intervention revisions focused on narrowing vignette topics, removing confusing components, enhancing accessibility, and adding facilitator training. Partnering with care partners improved intervention feasibility in preparation for future testing.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"7334648251336536"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144042297","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}

We performed cross-sectional analyses of the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia data using 203 participants aged ≥85.

Quality of life was assessed using physical and mental component summary scores of SF-36. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed separately for men and women. Lack of supportive relationships was negatively associated with physical and mental quality of life in all participants. Among men, community disengagement was associated with low physical quality of life. Policies to reduce social exclusion in this age group should focus on improving supportive relationships to enhance quality of life, rather than neighborhood or community levels.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"737-746"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11997282/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142477718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated the relationship between support from adult children and perceived oral health among foreign-born and U.S.-born Chinese Americans. We also examined the mediating role of resilience. Methods: Data were derived from a sample of 377 Chinese American older adults aged 55 or older in Honolulu, Hawai'i. Using a path analysis with structural equation models, we conducted a comparison of self-rated oral health and oral health problems between foreign-born and U.S.-born Chinese Americans. Results: For foreign-born participants, more emotional support from children was directly associated with better perceived oral health and indirectly linked to perceived oral health via resilience. For U.S.-born Chinese Americans, financial support from children was directly related to worse perceived oral health. Conclusions: This study provides evidence for resilience pathways linking social support from children and older immigrants' oral health, which can help health professionals and family counselors develop culturally tailored interventions.","PeriodicalId":47970,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Gerontology","volume":" ","pages":"747-758"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142477733","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}

We also tested whether the effect of caregiver status differed by race and, among caregivers (n = 241), the associations between caregiving characteristics and purpose in life. Caregivers did not differ significantly from non-caregivers in purpose in life in adjusted analysis. Among caregivers, significantly greater purpose of life was observed among Black caregivers and those reporting higher positive aspects of caregiving.

The odds of experiencing a repeat HE within 30 days after an initial HE were positively associated with reporting difficulty with hearing (adjusted odds ratio, AOR: 1.10 [95% confidence interval: 1.02-1.19]), being easily distractible (AOR: 1.09 [1.00-1.18]), being self-injurious (AOR: 1.33 [1.09-1.63]), and exhibiting verbal abuse (AOR: 1.15 [1.02-1.30]). Conversely, displaying inappropriate public behavior (AOR: 0.62 [0.42-0.92]) and being dependent for eating (AOR: 0.91 [0.83-0.99]) or bathing (AOR: 0.79 [0.67-0.92]) were associated with reduced odds of a repeat HE.
