“…In regard to the questions used in our study and the manner in which they were formulated, one could argue that they might act as a proxy for depression itself, yielding the strong correlations seen in the results. However, previous studies have also observed a correlation between low satisfaction with participation, depression and earlier death, especially due to cardiovascular disease (Croezen et al, 2015;Silva et al, 2014;Sundquist et al, 2004). In concurrence with these results, we showed that subjects with low satisfaction with participation had lower ABI.…”

“…Defined as involvement in a life situation, including accomplishment of daily activities and social roles, satisfaction with participation in daily life has been acknowledged by the WHO as a key indicator of human health and well-being. Spanning over both dependency in activities of daily life (ADL) and emotional wellbeing, a growing number of studies indicates a satisfaction with participation as a key concept in measuring elderly people's general and mental health (Croezen, Avendano, Burdorf, & van Lenthe, 2015;Silva, Cesse, & Albuquerque, 2014;Sundquist, Lindstr€ om, Malmstr€ om, Johansson, & Sundquist, 2004). Gender seems to have an impact on the relationship between mortality and late-life depression as well.…”

Objectives: Depressive symptoms in the elderly have been shown to be associated with increased mortality. The purpose of this study was to examine symptoms of depression in octogenarian men and their association with all-cause mortality, and whether physical, cognitive and social factors influence this association. Methods: Out of the 703 initially included 55-years-old men, from the prospective cohort study "Men born in 1914", we studied 163 survivors who could take a part in a survey at age 81, and followed them until their death. Results: Those men who had at least mild depressive symptoms, defined with Zung Self-rating Depression Scale, were found to have an increased mortality risk (HR ¼ 1.52; CI ¼1.10-2.08; p ¼ 0.01). This association persisted significantly after adjusting for: education, global cognition at age 81, cognitive abilities at age 68, vascular risk factors and comorbidities. Instead, it was attenuated after adjustments for Activities of Daily Life (ADL)dependency and for a grade of Satisfaction with Participation in daily life. Conclusion: In octogenarian men with survival above the average, mild depressive symptoms predict all-cause mortality. Neither cognitive capacity nor vascular comorbidity explained this association, but lower Satisfaction with Participation in daily life, especially in combination with moderate ADL-dependency.

“…Por la forma en que está diseñado el sistema previsional argentino, ingresos más altos tienden a representar mejores trayectorias socioocupacionales y viceversa (Calabria y Rottenschweiler, 2015), lo cual ciertamente se encuentra asociado a mejores posiciones socioeconómicas. Mas aún, en América Latina existen algunas de las sociedades más desiguales del mundo (De Lima Silva, Pessoa Cesse y Pessoa Militão de Albuquerque, 2014;Ravallion, 2014), lo cual añade un incentivo adicional para estudiar la relación entre la desigualdad de la salud y el ingreso, especialmente tomando en cuenta los escasos antecedentes que consideran este indicador en particular.…”

Este artículo analiza las desigualdades sociales en la salud y la mortalidad en Argentina a nivel individual, tomando en cuenta el ingreso previsional, la región de residencia, el sexo y la edad de los adultos mayores de 65 años. Para ello se analizaron registros de pagos de beneficios de la Administración Nacional de la Seguridad Social (ANSES), que incluían la fecha de fallecimiento de los beneficiarios. Se aplicó un modelo de regresión logística de máxima verosimilitud teniendo en cuenta las variables mencionadas. En simulaciones de distintos escenarios de ingreso previsional, “duplicar el ingreso” implicó una ganancia de 0,8 años en la esperanza de vida a los 65 años, aun controlando por otro factor, como la región de residencia. Estos resultados ilustran cómo en la vejez las personas con mayores ingresos previsionales viven más tiempo en comparación con aquellas con menores ingresos.

Objective: This study examined the association of several social and environmental factors on the likelihood of reaching centenarian age for older adults in Washington State. Methods: A survival analysis of reaching centenarian age for older adults aged 75 years and above was performed using Washington State mortality data from 2011−2015. Models were adjusted for sex, race, education, marital status, and neighborhood level social and environmental variables at the block group level. Geographic clusters of increased chance of becoming a centenarian were also mapped. Results: In the adjusted model, increased neighborhood walkability, lower education level, higher socioeconomic status, and a higher percent of working age population were positively associated with reaching centenarian age. Being widowed, divorced/separated, or never married were also positively correlated compared to being married. Additionally, being white or female were positively correlated with reaching centenarian status. Discussion: Several social and environmental factors are correlated with becoming a centenarian in Washington State. In this study, we explore findings that are consistent with previous research, as well as some that have not been previously explained. More research is needed to expand upon these findings in this rapidly growing field.
