Higher intake of marine n−3 (also called omega-3) fatty acids has been associated with reduced risks cardiovascular disease and cancer in several observational studies. Whether supplementation such effects general populations at usual risk for these end points is unclear.
The purpose is to investigate whether social engagement protects against depressive symptoms in older adults.Three waves of data from a representative cohort study community-dwelling adults aged 65 years and above the New Haven Established Populations for Epidemiologic Study Elderly are examined using random effects models.Social (an index combining productive activity) associated with lower CES-D scores after adjustment age, sex, time, education, marital status, health functional fitness...
OBJECTIVES: To identify risk and protective factors for family homelessness, a case-control study of homeless low-income, never-homeless families, all female-headed, was conducted. METHODS: Homeless mothers (n = 220) were enrolled from shelters in Worcester, Mass. Low-income housed receiving welfare 216) formed the comparison group. The women completed an interview covering socioeconomic, social support, victimization, mental health, substance use, health domains. RESULTS: Childhood...
In a study of 436 homeless and poor housed mothers, nearly two-thirds reported severe physical violence by childhood caretaker, 42% sexual molestation, 61% male partner. Comparisons women are presented, implications for prevention intervention discussed in light recent welfare reform legislation.
Objective:This study compared the prevalence of DSM-III-R disorders among homeless and low-income housed mothers with these all women in National Comorbidity Survey.Method:The authors used an unmatched case-control design for assessing 220 216 receiving public assistance.Results:Homeless had similar rates psychiatric substance use disorders. Both groups higher lifetime current major depression abuse than did Survey. also high posttraumatic stress disorder two or more conditions....
<h3>Background</h3> It is not known whether depression a cause or consequence of progressive cognitive decline. We assessed the relationship between depressive symptoms and subsequent decline in community-dwelling elderly population. <h3>Methods</h3> Data were from population-based cohort study that enrolled 2812 noninstitutionalized residents New Haven, Conn, followed them with in-home visits 1982, 1985, 1988, 1994. Cognitive function was Short Portable Mental Status Questionnaire (SPMSQ)....
Recent changes in welfare policy that require women to work have been particularly controversial for survivors of partner violence. This article explores the relationship between violence and through time an ethnically diverse longitudinal sample 285 extremely poor women. Controlling a variety factors, who experienced physical aggression/violence by male partners during 12-month period had only one third odds maintaining employment at least 30 hours per week 6 months or more subsequent year...
The effects on mortality of cognitive impairment and 3-year declines in function were examined among community-dwelling adults aged 68 years or more. Data taken from a population-based cohort study that enrolled noninstitutionalized elderly residents New Haven, Connecticut, followed them by conducting in-home interviews 1982, 1985, 1988, 1994. 1,997 respondents was assessed using the 30-point Mini-Mental State Examination 1985; 1,372 (86% those alive) retested 1988. Responses dassified as...
The effect of socioeconomic status (SES) on mortality was examined in the community-dwelling elderly. Data were obtained from four population-based studies that enrolled elderly residents US communities (East Boston, Massachusetts; New Haven, Connecticut; east-central Iowa; and Piedmont region North Carolina) followed them for 9 years, starting 1982 or 1986. Higher SES, whether measured by education, household income, occupational prestige, generally associated with lower mortality. However,...
In Brief Observational studies suggest that postmenopausal hormone therapy (HT) prevents coronary heart disease, whereas randomized clinical trials have not confirmed a cardioprotective effect. Although observational may overestimated the benefit conferred by use, there are other plausible explanations for apparent discrepancy between previous results and less favorable findings from such as large Women's Health Initiative. There is now critical mass of data to support hypothesis age or time...

Whether marine omega-3 fatty acid (n-3 FA) or vitamin D supplementation can prevent cardiovascular disease (CVD) in general populations at usual risk for this outcome is unknown. A major goal of VITAL (Vitamin and Omega-3 Trial) was to fill knowledge gap. In article, we review the results VITAL, discuss relevant mechanistic studies regarding n-3 FAs, D, vascular disease, summarize recent meta-analyses randomized trial evidence on these agents. a nationwide, randomized, placebo-controlled,...
