Abstract Background The victimization of women constitutes a human rights violation and a health risk factor. The central objectives of this study were to analyze the probability of revictimization among older adult Mexican women and to examine whether child abuse (CA) and/or intimate partner violence (IPV) are associated with a greater risk of elder abuse (EA) victimization. Methods We conducted a secondary data analysis of 18416 women 60 and older, based on data from the National Survey on the Dynamics of Household Relationships (2016), which is national and subnational representative. A descriptive analysis was carried out using retrospective self-reports of victimization experiences (CA, IPV, and EA). The prevalence of victimization and multiple victimizations in the various stages of the lives of women, as well as of revictimization among older adult women were obtained. Bayesian logistic regression models were used to examine the associations between victimization, multiple victimization, and EA victimization. Results A total of 17.3% of the older adult women reported EA in the last year; of these, 81.0% had been revictimized and 14.0% reported CA, IPV, and EA. The risk of EA rose among women who reported a combination of psychological and sexual CA, and psychological, physical and sexual CA and psychological and sexual IPV, and a psychological, economic, physical and sexual IPV. EA was higher among women who had suffered more than one type of violence. Conclusion CA and IPV, particularly sexual abuse and psychological violence, can be risk factors for EA. Screening tools used to prevent and detect EA should include questions about domestic violence over the course of a person’s lifetime.

Original Goal

Abstract BackgroundEmerging research indicates that older women struggle with binge eating (BE; consuming unusually large amounts of food in one siting while feeling a loss of control) more frequently than once thought. Yet, health correlates of BE in older adult populations are poorly understood. The original goal of the study was to investigate BE prevalence, frequency, and health correlates in a sample of older adult women. Following surprising findings in this first study, we then aimed to replicate findings in two additional samples of older adult women. MethodUsing self-reported frequencies of BE from three separate samples of older women with very different demographics, we compared BE prevalence, frequency, and health correlates among older women. Study 1 (N = 185) includes data collected online (86% White; 59% overweight/obese status). Study 2 (N = 64) was conducted in person at a local food pantry (65% Hispanic; 47% household income < $10,000/year). Study 3 (N = 100) comprises data collected online (72% White; 50% Masters/Doctoral Degree). ResultsPer DSM-5 frequency criterion of BE at least weekly, we found prevalence rates ranging from 19%-26% across the three samples. Correlates of BE frequency included elevated negative mood, worry, BMI, and less nutritious food consumption. ConclusionsAcross three very different samples in terms of race/ethnicity, education, food security status, measurements, and sampling methodology, we found fairly consistent rates of self-reported BE at least weekly (19-26%). BE is related to negative outcomes among older women, supporting the need for more research in this population.

And Coping

This study explored the stressors and coping mechanisms of older adults, 60 years old and over, who teach in three state higher education institutions in Manila, Philippines. Descriptive correlation method of research was employed. One hundred eighty-eight were randomly selected from the roster of 356 target participants. The Older Adults Life Stress Inventory was used to identify the severity of stressors as experienced by the respondent senior professionals for the past 3 years along the areas of physical, health, social, family, occupational and financial domains. The Coping Strategy Inventory Short Form 32 was used to determine typical coping strategies that involve problem-solving, cognitive restructuring, express emotions and social contact. Tests of correlation, however, revealed that all the six stressors areas have a significant positive correlation with problem avoidance, wishful thinking, self-criticism and social withdrawal (p < 0.01). Multiple regression analyses disclosed that older adult men have a greater preponderance to experience stressors than older adult women   Keywords: Older adult professionals, stressors, coping mechanisms, physical-related stressors, health-related stressors, social-related stressors, family-related stressors, occupational stressors, financial stressors.

Significant Interaction Effect

Abstract We aimed to examine whether the Framingham Cardiovascular Risk Profile Score (FCRP) moderates the effect of progressive resistance training (RT) on mobility in older adult women. This is an exploratory analysis of a single-blind, 12-month randomized controlled trial in 155 omen, aged 65 to 75 years old, who were randomized to: 1x/week progressive RT; or 2x/week progressive RT program; or 2x/week balance and tone (BAT). At baseline and trial completion, mobility was measured using the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB). The SPPB is a composite measure of usual gait speed, standing balance, and sit to stand performance; scores &lt; 9/12 are indicative of functional decline. Baseline 10-year cardiovascular risk was calculated using the FCRP. Participants were classified as either low risk (&lt;16.5% FCRP score; LCVR) or high risk ≥16.5% FCRP score; HCVR). A complete case analysis (n=126) was conducted using a two-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) to evaluate the interaction effect of group by FCRP risk on SPPB scores at trial completion; baseline SPPB scores and age in years were entered as covariates. There was a significant interaction effect (F(1,126)=3.74, p=0.027). At trial completion, both 1x/RT and 2x/RT participants with HCVR demonstrated greater SPPB scores than those with LCVR (11.59 vs. 11.38 for 1x/week; 11.86 vs 11.46 for 2x/week). In contrast, BAT participants with HCVR demonstrated worse SPPB scores than those with LCVR (11.18 vs 11.66). Our data suggest that RT may be more efficacious for improving mobility in older women with higher cardiovascular risk than women with lower risk.
