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.

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.

Ultrasound Parameters

Physical activity plays an important role in the maintenance of bone health from childhood through adulthood. This study aimed to explore the associations between self-reported physical activity (PA), activity energy expenditure (AEE), heel ultrasound parameters and bone health measures among older adult women. The AEE was estimated from the responses of questionnaires for 125 older adult women aged 54–81 years. The bone parameters were measured by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and heel ultrasound parameters by the heel quantitative ultrasound (QUS). This study showed that AEE and the metabolic equivalent task (MET) were positively correlated with the bone and heel ultrasound parameters. However, fat mass (FM) and fat percentage were negatively correlated with AEE and MET. In addition, the regression analysis showed that higher AEE was a strong predictor of a higher spine T-score (β = 0.212, p = 0.015), QUS T-score (β = 0.239, p = 0.011) and stiffness index (β = 0.240, p = 0.010) after adjusting for age, fat mass, lean mass, height and calcium intake. These results contribute to our understanding of the importance of physical activity in postmenopausal women by reiterating the benefits of physical activity for older adult women. Physical activity is an important tool for the prevention and management of osteoporosis.

Introduction. Understanding how exercise affects individuals with varying levels of functional ability will provide further insight into the role of exercise during the aging process. It will also aid in the development of exercise programs that are appropriate for a wider spectrum of older adults. Specifically it was the primary aim of this study to determine and compare the effects of 10 weeks of community-based exercise on the cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, flexibility, and balance fitness components of older adult women with high and moderate-low levels of physical function.Methods. Participants were placed in either the high functioning (n=13) or moderate/low functioning (n=17) groups based on their level of physical functioning. Fitness components were measured by the Senior Fitness Test and physical function was determined by the Composite Physical Function scale.Results. The results of the 3 × 2 mixed ANOVA statistical analysis showed no significant interaction effect for time ⁎ group for any of the six subtests (chair stand, arm curls, 2-minute step, chair sit-and-reach, back scratch, and 6-foot up-and-go) of the SFT. However, the main effect of time was significant for all fitness components and the main effect of group was significant for all fitness components except lower extremity flexibility.Discussion. Community-based exercise programs offering a variety of exercise types to people with varying levels of functional ability can be useful in maintaining or improving fitness and independence. These programs may also be capable of improving the self-efficacy of lower functioning older adults toward performing daily tasks.
