Are There Gender Differences in Stress Response in Older Adults? Findings from the Normative Aging Study

Creator:: Proulx, Jeffrey A.
Abstract:: In this study, we explored the relationships among gender, age, daily stressors, positive and negative affect, and neuroticism on cortisol outcomes in older men and women. We were particularly interested in whether variation in positive affect would have an effect on variation in negative affect and if this relationship would...

Evaluating balance and strength of older women in exercise programs

Creator:: Dinger, Melanie
Abstract:: Falls are a common problem among older adults, including those who are relatively healthy and living independently. Exercise has been recommended as an intervention to reduce falls by slowing and/or reversing age-related declines in balance, strength, and mobility. However, it remains unclear which types or combinations of programs are most...

Aging in place : a contemporary social phenomenon

Creator:: Lee, Megan
Abstract:: Most aging individuals prefer to remain in a self-determined home environment, and generally aging adults want to remain in the same home or same community. The benefits of remaining in a self-determined private home environment while aging have been established. Because individuals present a diversity of needs, it takes interdisciplinary...

The effects of age and neuroticism on stress reactivity and cortisol diurnal rhythms : findings from the Normative Aging Study

Creator:: Proulx, Jeffrey A.
Abstract:: We examined the effect of daily stress, age, and emotional stability/neuroticism on stress reactivity, using cortisol diurnal rhythms. We used data from the Normative Aging Study (Spiro & Bosse, 2001). The 72 men in this study ranged from 67-93 (M =79.29, SD =4.88). Multilevel modeling showed that higher daily stress...

VO₂peak and running economy in female collegiate soccer players across a competitive season

Creator:: Olson, Johanna R.
Abstract:: Running economy (RE) is the amount of oxygen utilized (ml.kg⁻¹min⁻¹) when running a fixed speed, and it has been demonstrated to be an important factor determining race performance in distance runners. There is evidence that running economy and/or maximal oxygen consumption (VO₂max) improves over the course of a training season...

Relationships among balance confidence, physical function, living situation and fall status in older adults

Creator:: Oberstaller, Peggy E.
Abstract:: Falls are extremely common among the older adult population, account for substantial morbidity and mortality, and are often potentially preventable. It is estimated that 9 out of 10 of hip fractures in older adults occur as the result of a fall. The economic consequences of hip fractures are estimated at...

Effects of the aging-related loss in lower extremity strength on the feasible region for balance recovery

Creator:: Kadono, Norio
Abstract:: A backward fall is a major cause of hip fractures. Hip fractures have the potential to increase the mortality rate of older adults. Thus, the prevention of backward falls by older adults is a critical subject to be studied. Specifically, it remains unknown what effect aging-related losses in muscle strength...

Effect of moderate alcohol consumption on biochemical markers of bone turnover in postmenopausal women

Creator:: Marrone, Jill
Abstract:: Epidemiological studies have reported that postmenopausal women who consume moderate quantities of alcohol have higher bone mass than non-drinkers. However, the mechanism for the putative bone-sparing effect of alcohol is unknown. Postmenopausal bone loss is due, in part, to increased bone turnover. This study investigated the hypotheses that alcohol slows...
