The ratios of the indirect effects of social engagement and loneliness on a possible dementia to the total effect of possible dementia on depressive/anxiety symptoms were 0.26 and 0.28, respectively. The ratios in probable dementia were 0.11 and 0.21. The lack of social engagement and loneliness contribute substantially to depressive/anxiety symptoms in dementia.

The study employed a bottom-up approach, allowing themes and insights to emerge inductively from the raw data collected. Results: The primary themes merged ere: (1) cultural adaptation for older immigrants, (2) integrating past and present experiences, (3) progression toward peaceful conclusion, and (4) robot-assisted life review. The findings highlighted the previously unheard voices of older Korean American immigrants as they revisited life courses marked by hardship and unresolved family conflicts.

This scoping review mapped the existing literature on secondary caregivers. The review followed the PRISMA-ScR framework. Data was subtracted to focus on caregiving outcomes, and on thematic patterns across both qualitative and quantitative designs. Findings from the selected articles (N = 10) indicated that secondary caregivers provide emotional, logistical, and financial support. They also experienced psychological distress, guilt, role conflict, and communication challenges. Family dynamics, gender, and cultural expectations shaped the caregiving experiences and outcomes. The search revealed a scarcity of interventions tailored to this group to enhance overall well-being. Secondary caregivers play a vital role in dementia care. Future interventions that clarify caregiving roles, enhance communication, and provide culturally responsive, family-centered support can strengthen caregiver well-being and promote sustainable caregiving networks.","PeriodicalId":47983,"journal":{"name":"Research on Aging","volume":" ","pages":"1640275261449482"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147785764","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 action research, the interventions were experimented in spring 2024 in Sherbrooke (Québec, Canada), with 20 older adults (71 ± 4.5; 16 women). Four focus groups involving all older participants and individual telephone interviews with three community organization workers enabled the description and exploration of the interventions through thematic content analysis. Older participants reported positive effects on their personal factors, physical environment, and social participation. The location of activities, adaptation to their preferences and social interactions were the main facilitators for their participation, while lack of accessibility was the main obstacle. Alongside the physical environment, it is important to consider the social environment in revitalization initiatives to foster social participation and awareness of community services.","PeriodicalId":47983,"journal":{"name":"Research on Aging","volume":" ","pages":"1640275261446984"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147785810","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}

Although financial strain is associated with worse caregiver mental health and well-being, the mechanisms underlying this association remain unclear. This study examines how financial strain relates to caregiver health outcomes within the caregiving stress process and assesses whether psychological resources-sense of purpose and perceived choice in caregiving-mediate these relationships. Using data from N = 1,223 family caregivers from the Caregiving in the U.S. 2020 dataset, hierarchical regression models examined the associations among care-related stressors, financial strain, and the outcomes of physical strain, emotional stress, and caregiving-related health impacts. Subjective financial strain significantly predicted greater physical strain, emotional stress, and negative health impacts. Perceived choice in caregiving was a partial mediator across all three outcomes. Findings underscore the importance of reducing subjective financial strain and strengthening coping resources to mitigate care-related stress.","PeriodicalId":47983,"journal":{"name":"Research on Aging","volume":" ","pages":"1640275261445851"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13477591/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147785803","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}

The results showed that respondents with poorer SRH reported an earlier planned retirement age. Overall, chronic disease was not associated with planned retirement age for the sample. Rather, a higher number of chronic diseases was significantly associated with earlier planned retirement among Hispanic respondents and marginally associated among non-Hispanic Black respondents when compared to White respondents. Older adults who report being healthier plan to work longer than those reporting worse health. To support the aging workforce, chronic disease prevention efforts for Hispanic adults are crucial.

Using a qualitative approach, we conducted in-depth interviews with 40 participants living in Portugal, aged between 64 and 83 years (M = 70.33, SD = 3.87). Analysis revealed that intimacy in later life extends beyond sexual activity, encompassing emotional closeness, identity affirmation, and resilience in the face of stigma, ageism, and healthcare invisibility. Findings highlight both persistent barriers, such as discrimination in care settings, internalized shame, and social isolation, and sources of strength, including chosen families, alternative relationship structures, and positive redefinitions of intimacy with age. The study underscores the need for inclusive policies, culturally competent healthcare, and recognition of LGBTPQ elders as active agents of sexual and emotional well-being throughout the life course.","PeriodicalId":47983,"journal":{"name":"Research on Aging","volume":" ","pages":"1640275261440824"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147576001","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}
