Although the anxiolytic effect of acute exercise is well established, there is little understanding regarding whether this effect differs across age. The purpose of this investigation was to compare anxiolytic effects of acute exercise in older versus younger volunteers. Older (n = 32, aged 59-75 years) and younger (n = 45, aged 18-30 years), aerobically fit volunteers were assessed. On 3 consecutive days, participants ran/walked for 60 min at 65% to 75% of heart-rate reserve. The Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (Form Y1) was administered 5 min before and 20 min after each exercise bout. Mean state anxiety before...

The relationship between the occurrence of falls and the expectations older adults have about making future residential moves is examined in this research. Data from the 2002 Health and Retirement Study (HRS) are used to analyze self-reported probabilities of moving among a nationally representative sample of noninstitutionalized adults aged 65 and older. The results show that falls were predictive of anticipation of housing relocation as indicated by more than 50% reported probability of moving within the next 2 years. The results suggest that consideration of housing relocation is greater among older adults who experienc...

Nursing home administrators’ retention rate continues to be a serious problem. One factor potentially affecting administrator turnover that has received minimal research attention is the nursing home regulatory process. Using a random start systematic sample of 135 nursing home administrators, this study explores whether regulatory process perceptions, survey performance (number of deficiency citations on last survey), and demographic or facility variables are associated with job satisfaction and job seeking. Multivariate analyses revealed three main findings: (a) an overall positive perception of the survey process ...

In this study, the authors examine the impact of a workforce intervention program (Workforce Improvement for Nursing Assistants: Supporting Training, Education, and Payment for Upgrading Performance [WIN A STEP UP]) on turnover rates of direct care workers in nursing homes. Using data collected yearly between 2002 and 2006 from 405 nursing homes in North Carolina, the authors employ random effects modeling to predict a dichotomous outcome of "above-average" versus "below-average" turnover. Results indicate that nursing homes participating in the WIN A STEP UP program are 15% more likely to have below-average turnover than ...

The study explored determinants of depressive symptoms among 297 Hispanic older adults living in public housing (Mage = 76.0, SD = 7.74). Following a basic stress model, the focus was on the effects of demographic variables, risk factors (functional disability, self-perceived health, and acculturation), and social resources (network of relatives and network of friends). Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that financial status, which was a significant predictor in the initial model, became non-significant when risk factors were taken into consideration. All three risk factors were found to be significant; depressive ...

The idea of "public social science" has emerged in recent academic literature.

While the authors acknowledge that gerontology already possesses an applied focus that includes concerted and practical efforts for welfare and justice, they add that any "public gerontology" would have to go one step further by engaging with issues on the international stage, and that impact significantly on the world’s least advantaged peoples and places.
