However, there is little understanding about how community stakeholders beyond those working directly with people affected by dementia can be effectively mobilized and contribute to the creation of DFCs. This study explores the underlying facilitators that enable community stakeholders' engagement and contribution towards DFC development. A dementia-friendly initiative underpinned by principles of asset-based community development was implemented in Hong Kong. We conducted three focus groups comprising 23 participants from five local stakeholder groups. Five themes, including leveraging university-community partnership, capacity building and mobilization of older adult volunteers, enhancing institutional functions through asset building, fostering cross-institutional collaboration, and engendering a culture of collective efficacy, are discussed, underscoring the importance of harnessing inherent community assets to inform the design and implementation of dementia-friendly initiatives.","PeriodicalId":47983,"journal":{"name":"Research on Aging","volume":" ","pages":"199-212"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144849399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a collectivist theoretical lens and a narrative inquiry approach, the analysis identified three key themes: (1) care and support from adult children, (2) family devotion, and (3) the tension between gendered façades and nurturing dynamics. While cultural expectations of family devotion and caregiving reinforced a strong sense of duty, they often masked deeper emotional gaps. These findings signal the need for culturally tailored interventions that address the emotional landscapes of BOAs, moving beyond generalized assumptions.","PeriodicalId":47983,"journal":{"name":"Research on Aging","volume":" ","pages":"240-252"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12886564/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144620886","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This qualitative study, focusing on the largest Asian American community, examined the experiences of Chinese family caregivers navigating this transition, using thematic analysis of twelve semi-structured interviews conducted in Mandarin Chinese or English. Filial piety profoundly influenced caregiving decisions. Caregivers reported significant physical, emotional, and financial burdens, with challenges including limited access to culturally and linguistically appropriate nursing home care, concerns about care quality, and difficulties in family discussions about the transition. The findings underscore the need for greater awareness within the Chinese community about dementia care options and for nursing homes to improve culturally sensitive care.

Far less is known about how these dynamics unfold in same-sex marriages or evolve with age, despite their importance for population health. Using longitudinal survey data (n = 614) and daily diary data (n = 524) from mid-to-later-life same- and different-sex couples, we track six-year changes in social control tactics, reactions, and effectiveness. Supportive tactics decline, appreciation decreases, and irritation increases across couple types, although women married to women initially report greater appreciation. Over time, however, they experience the steepest declines in appreciation and the effectiveness of direct regulatory control. In contrast, joint health activities grow more effective for encouraging exercise across couples. These findings highlight the limits of regulatory control and the potential importance of collaborative approaches, with implications for interventions aimed at supporting healthy aging in diverse couples.","PeriodicalId":47983,"journal":{"name":"Research on Aging","volume":" ","pages":"1640275261430260"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147318582","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the nationally representative German Ageing Survey, 257 sexual minority individuals were matched one-to-two with heterosexual individuals based on their age (mean 72 years) and sex (45% women). Cross-sectional linear regression and mediation models were estimated. Sexual orientation was not significantly associated with felt age or age-related perceived physical losses, personal growth, and self-knowledge. However, sexual minority individuals reported lower positive attitudes towards own aging (ATOA, Standardized β = -0.13) and more social losses (β = 0.11) than heterosexual individuals and the differences were partially mediated by stress. Although causality cannot be inferred, higher stress may explain why sexual minority individuals experience less positive ATOA and more social losses. Interventions to reduce stress and improve SPA may help in supporting sexual minority individuals' future wellbeing.","PeriodicalId":47983,"journal":{"name":"Research on Aging","volume":" ","pages":"1640275261429974"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147285753","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A two-state Cox regression model was applied to assess the effects of changes in social isolation and loneliness on CFI transitions.Results: Among 11,704 observations aged 65 and above, 44.54% were aged 81-95 years and 51.14% were female. Overall, 18.24% of respondents became lonelier and 11.10% became socially isolated. In total, 13.91% showed cognitive impairment, 10.45% had functional limitations, and 4.87% had CFI. Changes in loneliness had a notably stronger effect on CFI transitions than changes in social isolation. Individuals who became lonely were more likely to develop new or persistent cognitive impairment, emerging functional limitations, and newly developed CFI (all adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) > 1), whereas those who transitioned to a non-lonely state were less likely to remain cognitively-functionally impaired (aHR < 1).Conclusions: Rising loneliness may have a stronger impact on cognitive and functional decline than increasing social isolation. Early identification and intervention targeting loneliness could help support both cognitive and functional health among older adults.","PeriodicalId":47983,"journal":{"name":"Research on Aging","volume":" ","pages":"1640275261427305"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146214606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using data from five waves of the Population Study of Chinese Elderly in Chicago (N = 2,835), this study identified social isolation change trajectory patterns over eight years and examined contributing factors across ecological systems. Social isolation was measured by the social disconnectedness index. The multidimensional factors included socio-demographic and health conditions, interpersonal relationships, immigration experiences, and neighborhood characteristics. Latent class growth analysis identified four distinct change trajectories, including \"Persistent Low\", \"Persistent Medium\", \"Persistent High\", and \"Increasing\" isolation. Multinomial logistic regression indicated that older age, being female, lower social support and social strain, longer U.S. residence, and neighborhood physical disorder predicted greater social isolation. Stronger sense of community and social cohesion unexpectedly heightened the likelihood of \"Persistent High\" isolation. Findings highlight the need for culturally sensitive and multidimensional interventions to address social isolation among older immigrants.","PeriodicalId":47983,"journal":{"name":"Research on Aging","volume":" ","pages":"1640275261427313"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146198093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
