“…The changes observed over time reveal that an absence of psychological support may be one of the reasons for dependency after four months. Findings in this study are consistent with previous studies conducted on groups, consisting of not only healthy individuals, dealing with the interdependency between physical functions and emotional health and their effects on everyday life (Snowden et al, 2014;Taylor et al, 2010;. Zidén et al, 2010) The negative consequences of a hip fracture can be long-lasting (Dyer et al, 2016;Taylor et al, 2010;.Zidén et al, 2010).…”

“…One of the findings of this study was that AA women may be more vulnerable to the effects of living alone on depression compared to AA men. While social support is shown to be important for mental health in all groups [109,110,111], social relations are particularly consequential for AAs [112,113,114,115,116]. Social support promotes mental health directly and buffers the effect of stress [117].…”

Depression Fully Mediates the Effect of Multimorbidity on Self-Rated Health for Economically Disadvantaged African American Men but Not Women

Background. Although chronic medical conditions (CMCs), depression, and self-rated health (SRH) are associated, their associations may depend on race, ethnicity, gender, and their intersections. In predominantly White samples, SRH is shown to better reflect the risk of mortality and multimorbidity for men than it is for women, which suggests that poor SRH among women may be caused not only by CMCs, but also by conditions like depression and social relations—a phenomenon known as “the sponge hypothesis.” However, little is known about gender differences in the links between multimorbidity, depression, and SRH among African Americans (AAs). Objective. To study whether depression differently mediates the association between multimorbidity and SRH for economically disadvantaged AA men and women. Methods. This survey was conducted in South Los Angeles between 2015 to 2018. A total number of 740 AA older adults (age ≥ 55 years) were enrolled in this study, of which 266 were AA men and 474 were AA women. The independent variable was the number of CMCs. The dependent variable was SRH. Age and socioeconomic status (educational attainment and marital status) were covariates. Depression was the mediator. Gender was the moderator. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the data. Results. In the pooled sample that included both genders, depression partially mediated the effect of multimorbidity on SRH. In gender specific models, depression fully mediated the effects of multimorbidity on SRH for AA men but not AA women. For AA women but not AA men, social isolation was associated with depression. Conclusion. Gender differences exist in the role of depression as an underlying mechanism behind the effect of multimorbidity on the SRH of economically disadvantaged AA older adults. For AA men, depression may be the reason people with multimorbidity report worse SRH. For AA women, depression is only one of the many reasons individuals with multiple CMCs report poor SRH. Prevention of depression may differently influence the SRH of low-income AA men and women with multimorbidity.

“…Following the analysis of systematic reviews and meta-analyses (Cattan et al, 1998;Cattan et al, 2005;Cohen-Mansfield et al, 2016;Dickens et al, 2011;Hagan et al, 2014;Masi et al, 2011;Pels et al, 2016;Petitte et al, 2015;Smith et al, 2017;Snowden et al, 2014), there is a lack of available evidence for PA intervention effects for social health outcomes in community-dwelling older adults. Some reviews focus either on non-PA interventions in a wide diversity of participants and settings (Masi et al, 2011) or include non-experimental designed interventions, which reduce the methodological rigour of evidence (Hagan et al, 2014;Pels et al, 2016).…”

Objectives: This article reviews the effects of physical activity (PA) interventions on social isolation, loneliness or low social support in older adults. Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (RCTs). Method: MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, the Cochrane CENTRAL, CINAHL, were screened up to February 2017. RCTs comparing PA versus non-PA interventions or control (sedentary) condition were included. Risk of bias was assessed using the 12 criteria Cochrane Review Book Group risk of bias. The outcome measures were: social isolation, loneliness, social support, social networks, and social functioning. Standardised mean differences (SMDs) with associated 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated for continuous outcomes. Meta-analysis was performed using a random effects model. Results: The search strategy identified 38 RCTs, with a total of 5288 participants, of which 26 had a low risk of bias and 12 had a high risk of bias. Meta-analysis was performed on 23 RCTs. A small significant positive effect favouring the experimental condition was found for social functioning (SMD=0.30; 95% CI, 0.12 to 0.49; P=0.001) with strongest effects obtained for PA interventions, diseased populations, group exercise setting, and delivery by a medical healthcare provider. No effect of PA was found for loneliness, social support, or social networks. Conclusion: This review shows, for social functioning, the specific aspects of PA interventions can successfully influence social health. PA did not appear to be effective for loneliness, social support and social networks.
