Multimorbidity, the presence of multiple chronic health conditions, generally starts in middle and older age but there is considerable heterogeneity trajectory morbidity accumulation. This study aimed to clarify number distinct trajectories potential associations between race/ethnicity socioeconomic status these trajectories.Data from 13,699 respondents (age ≥51) Health Retirement Study 1998 2016 were analyzed with growth mixture models. Nine prevalent self-reported morbidities (arthritis,...
Objective The health-promoting influence of supportive close relationships has been extensively documented, yet the mechanisms this effect are still being clarified. Leading researchers have theorized that examining particular interpersonal interactions and mediating intrapersonal processes they facilitate is key to understanding how benefit health. purpose study was investigate perceived partner responsiveness (PPR) on pain sleep quality via affect in a sample veterans spouses (collectively...
Veterans experience high rates of fatal and non-fatal firearm injuries. This risk may be compounded among who are rural-residing, aging, and/or experiencing cognitive decline or dementia. Firearm safety discussions not broadly implemented across Department Affairs (VA) healthcare settings due, in part, to concerns causing disengage from care. study examines perceptions about inform healthcare-based harm-reduction efforts.
High rates of alcohol use have been documented within military personnel and spouses. However, scant research has investigated consumption behaviors in matched couples or nonclinical veteran samples. The manner which influence one another’s drinking remains unclear. current study examined hazardous scores a sample post-9/11 separated service members (most whom were veterans) active duty reservists their spouse/partners; 260 military-connected participated the Study for Employment Retention...
<h3>Background</h3> Military veterans are at increased risk of firearm injury (FAI) compared to non-military in the USA. To inform effective programs for prevention of, or rehabilitation from, injuries, it is important examine patterns FAI and intent. The USA Veterans Health Administration (VHA) an integrated, national healthcare system providing care >9 million eligible military veterans. Thus, VHA data contain records a large population which However, validity using identifying FAIs...
Abstract We investigated trajectories of depressive symptoms over 10 years following a marital transition (widowed or divorced) using data from the Health and Retirement Study (N = 377, mean age 67.55 years; 2006-2016). Piecewise growth curve models were estimated to investigate whether social support strain one’s spouse, measured prior transition, predicted symptom transition. Covariates included sex, age, education, race/ethnicity, wealth, chronic conditions. Overall, after significantly...
Sexual assault is a preventable problem that widespread and particularly prevalent for certain populations (e.g., female college students, Native American women).

Objectives & Background There is evidence to suggest that contemporary troponin assays predict serious outcome in syncope, however recent data from newer high sensitive show less predictive accuracy. It still unclear where fits into Emergency Department (ED) syncope decision-making, and also current practice lies. The aims of this study were: (1) assess use by clinicians ED patients, (2) whether a assay better able patients presenting with than assay. Table 1 Area under the Receiver...
Abstract Growth mixture modeling was used to classify multimorbidity (≥2 chronic conditions) trajectories over a 10-year period (2006-2016) in the Health and Retirement Study (N = 7,151, mean age 68.6 years). Race/ethnicity (non-Hispanic Black, Hispanic, non-Hispanic White) social relationship quality (positive support negative exchanges, such as criticisms) were then predict trajectory class membership, controlling for age, sex, education, wealth. We identified three classes: initial low...
