We used classification analysis to examine change in religiosity among baby boomers from young adulthood to early old age and how religiosity transition patterns are associated with psychological well-being in later life. In addition, we tested the gender difference in the above association. We applied latent class and latent transition analysis to 392 baby boomers who participated in the Longitudinal Study of Generations in Wave-1 (1971) and Wave-9 (2016). We identified three classes describing religiosity at each wave (strongly religious, doctrinally religious, and weakly religious), and considered five types of change or stability in religious class membership from Wave-1 to Wave-9. Multiple regression with gender interactions revealed that men who stayed strongly religious over the period reported better psychological well-being compared to men who declined in their religiosity; no such pattern was found for women. Our findings suggest that maintaining strong religiosity over the life course was beneficial for baby boom men in later life.

Introduction: Mid-life cardiovascular health (CVH) is strongly associated with risks of later-life CVD and mortality across race and sex groups. Adolescent and young-adult CVH are associated with risk of subclinical CVD, but data are lacking regarding CVD events or mortality. Hypotheses: (1) CVH in late adolescence/young adulthood (18-30y) is associated with risks of premature CVD and mortality; (2) Event rates are uniformly low across sociodemographic subgroups with high baseline CVH. Methods: CVH (defined by AHA’s 7 metrics) was measured at baseline and total CVH scores were categorized as high (12-14 pts), moderate (8-11) or low (0-7). CVD events and cause-specific mortality were adjudicated over 32y of follow-up. We estimated adjusted associations of baseline CVH with outcomes using Cox models and calculated population attributable fractions (PAFs; adjusted for competing risk of death as applicable) and event rates by CVH category. Results: See Table . Among 4836 participants, mean age was 24.9y (SD 3.6), 44.1% were aged 18-24y, 54.8% were female, and 50.5% were black. Baseline CVH was high in 28.8%, moderate in 65.0%, and low in 6.3%. In total, 306 CVD events and 431 deaths occurred. CVH was significantly associated with all outcomes, with similar patterns by age, sex, and race. PAFs for moderate/low (vs high) CVH ranged from 0.42 (all-cause mortality) to 0.63 (CVD) to 0.81 (CVD mortality) overall; PAFs were not significantly different across sociodemographic subgroups. Among individuals with high CVH, event rates were low across all sociodemographic subgroups (e.g., CVD rates/1000 person-yrs: age 18-24y 0.64, 25-30y 0.65, women 0.36, men 1.04, black 0.90, white 0.50). Conclusions: High CVH at age 18-30y was associated with low rates of premature CVD and mortality. Preservation of high CVH to at least age 18y may reduce CVD and mortality burdens and disparities, and adolescent/young-adult CVH may be a valid intermediate outcome for early-life determinants of risk.

Lost Productivity

This chapter presents information for selected neurological conditions by referring to current or classic research papers. Conditions such as headache especially migraines have substantial public health impact because of the high prevalence, age groups affected, the associated lost economic productivity and the increase in disability-adjusted life years. Multiple sclerosis, a relatively common neurological disease, can affect individuals in young adulthood, decrease their productivity, and ultimately make them dependent on others. Traumatic brain injury occurring in youth or young adulthood can cause years of extra medical care in addition to lost productivity among those who survive the immediate event; in addition, repetitive trauma may cause chronic traumatic encephalopathy leading to dementia in later life. Epilepsy may have onset throughout one’s life course. While most causes are unknown, some may result from trauma or may be caused by specific genes, among other causes. While there are intractable forms of epilepsy, great strides have been made in preventing and managing seizures enabling patients to lead relatively full and normal lives. Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease, are now acknowledged to begin 10–30 years prior to symptom onset. This will influence how risk factor studies are conducted and interpreted, which may offer earlier diagnostic potential. Effective treatments for the resulting clinical dementias that reduce productivity, functional ability, and independence from older individuals have not yet been realized. Without question, neurological diseases have substantial public health as well as grave personal impact.

Abstract Context The effect of weight change patterns on cardiovascular diseases (CVD) remains uncertain. Objective We aim to examine the relation of weight change patterns and absolute weight change from young adulthood to midlife with incident CVD. Design Retrospective cohort study. Setting National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999-2016. Participants A total of 20 715 US adults aged 40 through 79 with recalled weight at young adulthood (25 years) and midlife (10 years before baseline). Main Outcome Measure CVD status was determined by self-report of a prior diagnosis, and age at diagnosis was used to establish time of CVD onset. CVD events was defined as the first occurrence of a congestive heart failure, coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, heart attack, or stroke. Results After 9.76 years of follow-up, compared with participants who remained at normal weight, those in maximum overweight, changing from nonobese to obese, changing from obese to nonobese, maintaining obesity between young and middle adulthood had a 39% (hazard ratio [HR], 1.39; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.19-1.62), 93% (HR, 1.93; 95% CI, 1.64-2.28), 125% (HR, 2.25; 95% CI, 1.29-3.94), and 132% (HR, 2.32; 95% CI, 1.68-3.20) higher risk of CVD, respectively. In addition, compared with weight change within 2.5 kg, weight gain ≥ 10.0 kg was associated with higher risk of CVD. Conclusions Both nonobese to obese, obese to nonobese, and stable obese from young to middle adulthood were associated with increased risks of CVD. The findings emphasize the importance of maintaining normal weight throughout the adulthood for preventing CVD in later life.

The process of pregnancy will make physical and psychological changes that are complex and require adaptation. Complications that occur in the mother during pregnancy will threaten the welfare of the mother and fetus. One of the many conditions experienced during pregnancy is Eclampsia / preeclampsia which is one of the direct causes of death in mothers. The purpose of this study was to determine the experience of pregnant women who were first diagnosed with preeclampsia, this process will produce an experience for the prospective mother. The research method used is a qualitative research method with a phenomenological approach. Taking participants by purposive sampling, as many as 7 participants were informants. Data collection is done by in-depth interviews (indepht interview). The results of the study, it is known the experience of pregnant women who were first diagnosed with preeclampsia with 7 themes namely the reasons referred and feelings when diagnosed with preeclampsia, understanding, signs or characteristics, family support, culture of preeclampsia, hopes for nursing services, hopes in later life related to preeclampsia experiences. In conclusion, pregnant women who were first diagnosed with preeclampsia expressed feelings of sadness and distrust, not all participants in this study felt the signs and symptoms of preeclampsia. Family support at that time was very meaningful for participants. Family member factors that influence the participant's disease at that time there are those who influence it or not, as well as monthly family income factors. Expectations of mothers to nursing services related to preeclampsia is to get information as early as possible for the prevention of complications in pregnancy. Hope for the next life related to the experience that has been gained can be a lesson for the future so that this case does not recur in the next pregnancy.Keywords: Experience of pregnant women, preeclampsia, risk factors for preeclampsia

A person’s ability to rise from the floor to a standing position is seen as a precursor for establishing and maintaining bipedal independence. It also is an important primer for the development of other fundamental movement skills and is associated with functional capacity in later life. Thus, the potential importance of developing this movement capability early in life and understanding how it may relate to global function (i.e., motor competence [MC]) across the lifespan may be underestimated. Therefore, this study examined the validity of supine-to-stand test (STS) as a developmental measure of functional MC across childhood into young adulthood using a pre-longitudinal screen approach and examining associations between movement components. STS time also provided a secondary measure of developmental validity in addition to an examination of the concurrent validity of STS against developmentally valid measures of MC (i.e., throwing, kicking, hopping, and standing long jump) in these age groups. Overall, results indicated that cross-sectional data “curves” for the STS components generally fit Roberton’s hypothetical model curves. STS time demonstrated weak to moderate (r = −.28 to −.64) correlations to MC product measures across all age groups indicating that STS time can be considered a valid and reliable measure of MC across childhood into young adulthood.
