“…Clearly the most disadvantaged respondents were those with both poor sleep efficiency and low quality social connections with others, but focusing on only this outcome misses the important and frequently overlooked evidence regarding the factors that may protect against age-related increases in inflammation, even in the face of other psychosocial or behavioral risks. As such, the findings join a growing literature that is mapping diverse pathways toward the maintenance of health in aging individuals (43,44).…”

This study examined the interplay of social engagement, sleep quality, and plasma levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in a sample of aging women (n ‫؍‬ 74, aged 61-90, M age ‫؍‬ 73.4). Social engagement was assessed by questionnaire, sleep was assessed by using the NightCap in-home sleep monitoring system and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and blood samples were obtained for analysis of plasma levels of IL-6. Regarding subjective assessment, poorer sleep (higher scores on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index) was associated with lower positive social relations scores. Multivariate regression analyses showed that lower levels of plasma IL-6 were predicted by greater sleep efficiency (P < 0.001), measured objectively and by more positive social relations (P < 0.05). A significant interaction showed that women with the highest IL-6 levels were those with both poor sleep efficiency and poor social relations (P < 0.05). However, those with low sleep efficiency but compensating good relationships as well as women with poor relationships but compensating high sleep efficiency had IL-6 levels comparable to those with the protective influences of both good social ties and good sleep.social engagement

“…Spirituality has been referred to in many studies as a "forgetting factor" (Crowther, Parker, Achenbaum, Larimore, & Koenig, 2002). In some studies, it is mentioned as an important factor in the lives of older people; however, there is very little empirical evidence about the association between successful aging, spirituality and faith (Maki, 2005).…”

“…Although there is evidence that being married (Bowling & Iliffe, 2006), working for pay (Ross & Mirowsky, 1995), volunteering (Borgonovi, 2008), practicing healthy behaviors such drinking moderately (Maraldi et al, 2009), maintaining low BMI (Leveille, Guralnik, Ferrucci, & Langlois, 1999), engaging in exercise (Britton, Shipley, Singh-Manoux, & Marmot, 2008), and not smoking cigarettes , having adequate social supports (Montross et al, 2006), and maintaining strong religious beliefs (Crowther, Parker, Achenbaum, Larimore, & Koenig, 2002) are associated with successful aging, it is unclear whether they predict successful aging or are characteristics associated with successful aging at a particular point in time.…”

Objectives. Previous research revealed that successful aging includes both objective and subjective dimensions. This longitudinal analysis examines how early life influences and midlife characteristics predict stability and change in successful aging over a 4-year period. Method. Data from 3,379 people living in New Jersey who completed baseline telephone interviews between 2006 and 2008 and follow-up mail surveys in 2011 were analyzed. Latent profile analysis identified people who aged successfully according to both objective and subjective criteria, neither criteria, and one, but not the other criteria. Multinomial logistic regressions analyses focused on the 2,614 people who were successful according to both objective and subjective criteria at baseline. Results. At follow-up, 18.1% people successful at baseline had transitioned out of that status. Characteristics identifiable early in life (gender, race, education, never marrying, incarceration) as well as midlife status (currently married, working), health behaviors (smoking, drinking, body mass index, exercise), and social support distinguished people who continued to age successfully 4 years later from those who did not. Discussion. Findings suggest that successful aging is a fluid construct and that although some characteristics identifiable early in life predict successful aging, others are dampened by midlife statuses. Key Words: Latent profile analysis-Longitudinal analysis-Multinomial logistic regression-Objective successSubjective success-Successful agingOver the past several decades, the quest to understand successful aging has yielded an exponential growth in the number of publications defining the construct and empirical studies examining its predictors. Although it is generally agreed that aging is a process that evolves over time, understanding the fluidity of successful aging has been hindered by an almost exclusive reliance on cross-sectional designs.
