AbstractWe examined whether pre-disaster social support functions as a disaster preparedness resource to mitigate post-disaster depressive symptoms among older survivors of the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake and tsunami. The participants were 3,567 individuals aged ≥65 years living in Iwanuma city who completed a baseline survey as part of the nationwide Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study seven months before the disaster. A follow-up survey was administered approximately 2.5 years after the disaster. The analysis included a total of 2,293 participants, and social support (giving and receiving emotional & instrumental help) before the disaster was measured using four items. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the GDS with a cut-off score of 4/5 (not depressed/depressed). We discovered that participants who gave and received emotional and instrumental support before the disaster were significantly less likely to develop depressive symptoms after the disaster compared to those without support (ARR = 0.70; 95% CI: 0.56–0.88). The risk of the onset of depressive symptoms was 1.34 (95% CI: 1.03–1.74) among those who experienced disaster damages but had also given and received social support, and 1.70 (95% CI: 1.03–2.76) among those who experienced damages but lacked support. Strengthening social aid may help cultivate psychological resilience to disasters.

Abstract This study aims to understand the roles that psychosocial factors play on the longitudinal associations between sensory (including hearing and vision) loss and cognitive decline. Specifically, we hypothesized that (1) loneliness mediates the associations between sensory loss and cognitive decline; and (2) social support moderates the associations between sensory loss and cognitive decline. We used longitudinal parallel process (LPP) modeling with data from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) and the Aging, Demographics, and Memory study (ADAMS). Age variable centered at its mean age of 82. In the most parsimonious model, loneliness fully mediated the associations between vision loss and the average cognitive status at age 82 (p < .05). Social support moderated the associations between vision loss and the average cognitive status at age 82 (β= .14, p < .05). No moderation or mediation effect was found for the psychosocial factors on the associations between hearing loss and cognition.

The Relationship

AbstractObjectiveMillions of US households experienced food insecurity in 2005. Research indicates that low wages and little social support contribute to food insecurity. The present study aimed to examine whether social support moderates the relationship between income and food insecurity.DesignUsing a mail survey, we collected data on social support sources (social network, intimate partner and community) and social support functions from a social network (instrumental, informational and emotional). We used hierarchical logistic regression to examine the potential moderation of various measures of social support on the relationship between income and food insecurity, adjusting for potential confounding variables.SettingOregon, USA.SubjectsA stratified random sample of Oregonians aged 18–64 years (n 343).ResultsWe found no evidence of an association between social support and food insecurity, nor any evidence that social support acts as a moderator between income and food insecurity, regardless of the measure of social support used.ConclusionsAlthough previous research suggested that social support could offset the negative impact of low income on food security, our study did not find support for such an effect.
