“…Grandparental involvement measures also include the frequency of contact between grandparent and grandchild (e.g., Bates and Taylor 2012 , 2016 ; Danielsbacka and Tanskanen 2016 ; García-Campos et al 2010 ), financial help, and other informal forms of assistance or emotional support (e.g., Fujiwara and Lee 2008 ). Also, grandparental health has been measured with various variables, such as self-rated health (e.g., Choi and Zhang 2018 ; Danielsbacka et al 2019 ), longevity and time to death (Hilbrand et al 2017a ; Hilbrand et al 2017b ), cognitive functioning (e.g., Ahn and Choi 2019 ; Arpino and Bordone 2014 ), depression and mental health (e.g., Lee et al 2019 ; Xu 2019 ), and functional limitations/abilities (e.g., O’Loughlin et al 2017 ; Ku et al 2012 ). Grandparental well-being has been measured with variables such as subjective well-being (SWB), perceived quality of life, happiness, and life satisfaction (e.g., Arpino et al 2018 ; Conde-Sala et al 2017 ; Danielsbacka and Tanskanen 2016 ; Nimrod 2008 ).…”

Grandparenting, health, and well-being: a systematic literature review

Whether grandparenting is associated with improved health or well-being among older adults is a salient question in present-day aging societies. This systematic review compiles studies that consider the health or well-being outcomes of grandparenting, concerning (1) custodial grandparent families, where grandparents are raising grandchildren without parental presence; (2) three-generation households, where grandparents are living with adult children and grandchildren; and (3) non-coresiding grandparents, who are involved in the lives of their grandchildren. Review was based on literature searches conducted in September 2019 via Web of Science, PubMed, PsycINFO, and Ebsco. We screened 3868 abstracts across four databases, and by following the PRISMA guidelines, we identified 92 relevant articles (117 studies) that were published between 1978 and 2019. In 68% of cases, custodial grandparenting was associated with decreased health or well-being of grandparents. The few studies considering the health or well-being of grandparents living in three-generation households provided mixed findings (39% positive; 39% negative). Finally, in 69% of cases, involvement of non-coresiding grandparents was associated with improved grandparental outcomes; however, there was only limited support for the prediction that involved grandparenting being causally associated with grandparental health or well-being. Despite this, after different robustness checks (counting all nonsignificant results, taking into account the representativeness of the data and causal methodology), the main finding remains the same: the most negative results are found among custodial grandparents and three-generation households and most positive results among non-coresiding grandparents.

“…Diet may have a lesser impact on suicidal ideation than social factors. Indeed, according to earlier surveys, unhappy marriages, inadequate education, and economic poverty are significant social factors contributing to older adults' suicide (24,25). Furthermore, our gender stratification results indicate that both men and women in the High-DII group are at higher risk of developing depression than those in the Low-DII group.…”

BackgroundThe relationship between diet and psychological disorders in older adults has attracted considerable attention as the global trend of aging. This study examines the relationship between Dietary inflammatory index (DII) and the risk of depression and suicide in older adults using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) as a large cross-sectional study.MethodsThe data were extracted from NHANES from 2005 to 2018, and cross-sectional studies were conducted on older adults (age ≥ 60 years). According to their median DII, participants were classified into High-DII (DII ≥ 1.23) and Low-DII (DII < 1.23) groups. Depression was the primary outcome, and suicidal ideation was a secondary outcome. Utilizing multi-factor logistic regression to correlate DII with outcomes.ResultsThere were 10,956 elderly participants included in the analysis. In comparison to Low-DII group, High-DII group exhibited a higher rate of depression (8.9% vs. 6.7%; P < 0.001) and higher ideation to commit suicide (3.7% vs. 3.0%; P = 0.039). Moreover, in terms of gender ratio, men accounted for 44% of the High-DII group, which was significantly lower than 56.2% of the Low-DII group (P < 0.001). Furthermore, logistic regression revealed that High-DII group had a higher risk of depression in the previous 2 weeks (OR = 1.358, 95% CI: 1.180–1.564; P < 0.001) and a higher risk of suicidal ideation (OR = 1.244, 95% CI: 1.010–1.532; P = 0.040). Additionally, after adjusting for demographic covariates such as age, gender and race, High-DII group still had a higher risk of depression (OR = 1.293, 95% CI: 1.121–1.493; P < 0.001) and suicidal ideation (OR = 1.261, 95% CI: 1.021–1.55; P = 0.031). Furthermore, after adjusting for various covariates like demographic, social factors, and comorbidities, the High-DII group remained at higher risk for depression (OR = 1.178, 95% CI: 1.019–1.363; P = 0.027), and the risk of comorbid suicidal ideation remained high (OR = 1.136, 95% CI: 0.917–1.408), but the difference was not significant (P = 0.243).ConclusionIn older adults, high levels of DII are associated with depression and suicidal ideation. Multiple factors affect the mental health of older adults, and it is unknown to what extent a pro-inflammatory diet contributes to depression and suicidal thoughts in older adults. Nonetheless, daily dietary management in older adults should be emphasized.

Among non-coresiding grandparents, most of the results were positive (69%; 51/74).…”

Background and Objectives: Whether grandparenting is associated with improved health and well-being among older adults is a salient question in present-day aging societies. This systematic review compiles studies that consider the health and well-being outcomes of grandparenting, concerning (i) custodial grandparent families, where grandparents are raising children without parental presence; (ii) three-generation households, where grandparents are living with adult children and grandchildren; and (iii) non-coresiding grandparents, who are involved in the lives of their grandchildren.Research Design and Methods: This systematic review was based on literature searches conducted in September 2019 via Web of Science, PubMed, PsycINFO, and Ebsco. We screened 3,868 abstracts across four databases, and by following the PRISMA guidelines, we identified ninety-two relevant articles (117 studies) that were published between 1978 and 2019.Results: In 68% of cases custodial grandparenting was associated with decreased health and wellbeing of grandparents. The few studies considering the health and well-being of grandparents living in three-generation households provided mixed findings (39% positive; 39% negative). Finally, in 69% of cases involvement of non-coresiding grandparents was associated with improved grandparental outcomes; however, there was only limited support for the prediction that involved grandparenting being causally associated with grandparental health and well-being.Discussion and Implications: The findings are discussed separately among these three groups of grandparents, including reference to possible causal relations between involved grandparenting and grandparental health and well-being. The article concludes by considering the scope for future studies.
